In 1907, Russian Jewish immigrants began buying dairy farms in the Ellsworth hills above Sharon, Connecticut. This is the story of thirty families, some of whose descendants still work farms around Sharon. Since Ellsworth's land was stony, many of the immigrants subsidized their farm incomes by offering room and kosher board to New Yorkers wanting a "farm vacation." However, in the 1920s the immigrants began leaving either for more fertile farm land or to purchase properties that could be turned into boarding houses and hotels in neighboring Amenia, New York. Located on a train stop just across the state line at the "gateway to the Berkshires," Amenia became a lively Jewish resort for the next several decades. The village's Congregation Beth David, built by the immigrants, remains a reform synagogue today. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
