History of the
Sephardic
Jews of Central New Jersey
The
first
Jews in America
were of
Spanish origin and came with Columbus
in 1492. In the early days of the U.S., most of America's
Jews were of Sephardic
origin. The Jewish population of Central New Jersey reflected this general
pattern. Dr. Reiss discusses the origin of
the
Sephardic Jews of Central New Jersey and shows photos and documents
that trace
their experience here.
