It was fun and educational to lead walking tours of Boston for a dozen years. Branching out and devising a Jewish walking tour of Portland, Maine equally was fun and instructive.Once part of Massachusetts, Maine became a separate state in 1820. After Portland's devastating urban fire of 1866, Jewish peddlers slowly began discovering the area. From the 1860s to 1900s, approximately 500-1000 Jewish immigrants arrived and stayed in Portland. The bulk of these immigrants were Eastern European Jews, who came via Boston, Massachusetts, retaining many of their traditional beliefs and practices. Within 1-2 generations, these Jews were
well along in establishing themselves as businesspersons and white collar professionals as well as
participants in the community's life and institutions. This Jewish Friendship Trail in Portland, Maine
can commemorate and honor the contributions and friendship of Portland's Jewish citizens.
This BostonWalks' "The Jewish Friendship Trail" in Portland, Maine is
designed as a 2.5 hour walking tour. Let's walk, then, to these sites of Jewish Experience in Portland: |
