It was established in 1861,〔 as "The Jewish Congregation of Plattsburgh",〔 serving Plattsburgh's Jewish population〔 and the itinerant Jewish tradesmen in the region.〔 Plattsburgh's Jewish community was the oldest in the Adirondack Mountains, having been founded in the 1840s by Jewish peddlers from western Vermont and northern New York. These traveling salesmen would come into Plattsburgh for High Holy Days and occasional Sabbath services.〔 The congregation initially worshipped in temporary locations.〔 They soon had a rabbi,〔 and in 1862, they acquired a cemetery.〔 In the ensuing decades, congregations in less well-established nearby Jewish communities, such as the one Burlington, Vermont, would send their dead to Beth Israel's cemetery to be buried.〔 In 1866 the members acquired their first permanent location, the former First Universalist Church on Oak Street.〔 Plattsburgh's Jewish community grew after 1880 as a result of Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe.〔 By 1907, Plattsburgh's Jewish population was around 125. The congregation, then still located on Oak Street, had 25 member families, and an annual income of $900 (today $). Jacob Lubin served as both rabbi and cantor, and services were held on the Sabbath and the Jewish holidays. The congregational school met twice a week, and had twelve students and one teacher.〔 The congregation adopted Reform services in 1910,〔 and joined the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (now Union for Reform Judaism) in 1913.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Temple Beth Israel (Plattsburgh, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
