Communities at Maturity
Communities at Maturity
This chapter discusses the maturity of the Jewish communities and settlements along the Ohio River. The first few decades of the new century were critical for the development of American Jewish culture. Migration numbers had increased, and a distinctive ethnic style had developed, which blended the Yiddish folk heritage and selected traditional religious practices. Some communities spawned elaborate organizational structures, but the synagogue still remained the central and dominant institution of small-town Jewish life.
