THE ASSOCIATED and Baltimore


From its founding in the 1920s when the organization met the needs of those struggling through the Great Depression to the 1980s when waves of immigrants needed help adjusting to their new homeland to today when many of our friends and neighbors are still reeling from tough economic times, THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore has provided for vulnerable populations and prepared for a vibrant Jewish future and community.

In the roughly 30 miles that stretch from the Jewish Museum of Maryland and the Lloyd Street Synagogue in Downtown Baltimore to the rolling hills of Camp Milldale and the Pearlstone Conference and Retreat Center in the Northern Baltimore County, Baltimores Jewish community is living, learning, playing and praying. It is along that route, on five distinct campuses, that we find the infrastructure that provides home to the vital agencies and programs funding by THE ASSOCIATED. THE ASSOCIATED continues to subscribe to the Federated concept in its purest forms: centralized planning and resource development and coordination, integration and full participation of the constellation of agencies that is THE ASSOCIATED system. Fourteen local agencies provide the services and THE ASSOCIATED develops the financial and human resources critical to the sustainance of the entire ASSOCIATED system. In addition to serving the needs of the local Jewish community, THE ASSOCIATED partners with state and local government and other organizations to benefit and to improve the lives of all those who live in the greater Baltimore community. With an emphasis on volunteerism, THE ASSOCIATED supports projects throughout the community including neighborhood beautification, community gardens, school-based reading programs and support of winter package deliveries to area homeless shelters and hospitals. More than 5,000 hands-on volunteers participate in projects annually.

THE ASSOCIATED and the Baltimore Jewish community are enormously proud of their accomplishments and look forward to welcoming the GA delegates to a community of rich tradition, deep heritage and outstanding leadership. A History of Jewish Maryland Baltmore, and more broadly, the state of Maryland, have had a long and prominent position in American Jewish life. Among the notable accomplishments of Jewish Baltimore were opening the first Jewish Community Center (then a YMHA) in the United States in 1854, and hosting the first ordained rabbi to lead a congregation in the United States, Rabbi Abraham Rice in 1840 at Baltimore Hebrew Congregation. There were few Jews living in Maryland when Baltimore Town was established in 1729. After the Revolutionary War, however, several prominent Jewish families, including the Ettings and the Cohens, established themselves in Baltimore. Solomon Etting (1764-1847) rose to prominence in the commerce and banking industries. Jacob I Cohen, Jr. (1789-1869) established the city lottery that helped finance the building of many of Baltimores first public monuments. Members of both families served as volunteer militiamen, defending Baltimore at Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812. Both families were observant Jews, but they did not establish a synagogue, and instead conducted worship services in private homes. Because of a legal requirement requiring those who wished to hold public office or practice certain professions to take an oath professing belief in Christianity, Jews were excluded from participating as fullfledged citizens of the state. Thomas Kennedy, a non-Jewish state legislator who lived in Hagerstown, fought to remedy this situation and lobbied many years for the passage of what became known as the Jew Bill.

The Bill finally passed in 1826 and removed the restrictive language from Marylands constitution allowing Jews the same rights as Christians. Upon passage of the Bill, Marylands first Jewish congregation, Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, received a charter from the state in 1829 and built a synagogue on Lloyd Street in 1845. In the 1830s German Jewish immigrants began arriving in large numbers in Baltimore, fleeing Germany because of political and economic instability. Maryland became a major exporter of tobacco, and ships that were sent to Germany with tobacco returned filled with immigrants. Many of these immigrants settled in East Baltimore because of its proximity to the harbor. Although many arrived unskilled and uneducated speaking little English, they often found work as peddlers. As a community the German Jews quickly prospered, and many opened dry goods stores or manufacturing companies. Moses Wiesenfeld, Levi Greif, Henry Sonneborn,

and others all founded manufacturing companies before the Civil War that prospered with the increased need for mass-produced goods and ready-made clothing. Beginning around 1885, there was an exodus out of East Baltimore as the first wave of immigrants who had settled in the neighborhood moved to more fashionable neighborhoods in northwest Baltimore, on Eutaw Place. By 1900 German Jewish families such as the Hutzlers, Hechts, Hochschilds, Kohns, and others, had created some of Baltimores grandest enterprises the great downtown department stores that lined Howard and Lexington Streets. A second wave of immigrants settled in the neighborhoods left behind by the German immigrants. From 1880 to 1924, a large number of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe journeyed to the United States. The reason for this large-scale migration was the anti-Semitic policies towards Jews in this region, and a perception of the United States as a glorious land of limitless opportunity. In 1880 the Jewish population in Baltimore was 10,000, and by 1924, it was 65,000. Many of these immigrants arrived in Locust Point, which was a port of entry to the US, but many also arrived at Ellis Island and moved to Baltimore to be near relatives or for job opportunities. By and large, this group of Jews was quite different in character from the German Jews who had preceded them. Rather than assimilating quickly into mainstream American society, the Eastern European Jews clung to their religious beliefs and customs. Many of these newly arrived immigrants settled in East Baltimore which housed a thriving Jewish community. Jewish businesses including tailor shops, kosher delicatessens, grocery stores, bakeries, schools, communal organizations, and synagogues lined Lombard and Baltimore Streets. The booming garment industry provided a livelihood for many immigrants, especially for women. By 1924 immigration quotas were introduced that stopped the immigration process. By the mid-20th century, most of these Jews, like the German immigrants before them, vacated East Baltimore, and moved north-west to the suburbs of Forest Park and lower Park Heights Avenue, moving their synagogues and communal institutions with them. This pattern of north-west migration continues to this day, as Jewish families and synagogues are moving to Owings Mills and beyond.
