Pennsylvania has one of the largest and oldest organized Jewish communities in the United States. Jews of Sephardic origin settled in what became the “Keystone State” in the early 18th century (though there were some Jewish traders in the area during the latter part of the 17th century). Jews began trading and residing in central and western Pennsylvania in the early 19th century, and as their numbers increased they established burial societies and synagogues. The earliest Jewish settlers were mostly of German origin, and were later joined by Jews of Central and Eastern European background. Their history in Pittsburgh and the southwestern PA region is represented in this book containing 198 b&w photos, 32 color images and background information on current, former and some demolished synagogues and their congregations.
