In its over three hundred years of history, Charleston, South Carolina, has been known for many things. One of the most intriguing aspects of its past and present is its dynamic Jewish community. Documented as part of the Lowcountry since the 1690s, Charleston Jews have contributed to the region, the nation and the world. In 1800, the city boasted the largest and wealthiest Jewish population in the country, and Charleston has been continually shaped by this significant group of men and women, both religious and secular, humble and heroic. Here are their stories both old and new all intermixed with tales of historic buildings, congregations, religious movements and cemeteries, wonderfully told by preeminent Charleston Jewish historian Solomon Breibart. Collected from a lifetime of work, these explorations offer the reader a wealth of material: essays of historic significance, biographies, lists and chronologies, and telling vignettes that together suggest the rich mosaic of Jewish life that has been part of Charleston and the Lowcountry. It's a tale told nowhere else, and no one could tell it better, or in such a lively way, than Solomon Breibart."
