The city of Syracuse, easily reached by the Erie Canal, \u003cbr\u003ebecame the next port of call for some. It offered opportunities, open roads, \u003cbr\u003eand a small but ever-growing Jewish community. This history traces the \u003cbr\u003edevelopment of the Jewish community of the Salt City from its beginnings \u003cbr\u003ein the early 18th century, when a handful of peddlers gathered weekly \u003cbr\u003eto share a Shabbat meal, to a much larger community that numbered \u003cbr\u003e11,000-12,000 at its peak a century later. The Syracuse Jewish community \u003cbr\u003eis a microcosm of the history of Jews in America and is both distinctive and \u003cbr\u003eiconic in nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531650704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Barbara Sheklin Davis, Susan B.
