PRESENT CONDITIONS. THE NUMBER AND THE DISPERSION
OF JEWS IN AMERICA. CONCLUSION.
Dispersion of the Jews over the country and its colonial
possessions――The number of Jews in the United States about
three millions――The number of communities in various States――
The number of Jews in the large cities――The number of the
congregations is far in excess of the recorded figures――The
process of disintegration and the counteracting forces――The
building of synagogues――Charity work is not overshadowing other
communal activities as in the former period, and more attention
is paid to affairs of Judaism――The conciliatory spirit and the
tendency to federate――Self-criticism and dissatisfaction which
are an incentive to improvement――Our great opportunity here――
Our hope in the higher civilization in which the injustices of
the older order of things may never reappear.
Jews are living at present (1911) in every State and Territory of
the United States, and there are small communities in Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands. There are some forms of Jewish
organizations, synagogues, lodges or cemetery associations in more than
750 separate localities, from places where there is only a “minyan”
on the High Holidays at the beginning of the Jewish year, to the
immense Jewish community of New York City, which is estimated to
consist of nearly 1,000,000 souls. Wherever actual figures as to
the number of Jewish inhabitants in smaller places and the number
of synagogues in larger cities are obtained, they are usually far in
excess of the published figures and estimates, and there seems to be
justification for placing the number of Jews in the country at not
far below 3,000,000, if not actually at that number. While the largest
communities, as well as the largest number of communities, remain in
the East and the Middle West, the dispersion is much more extensive
than is generally supposed.
There are, for instance, nearly forty cities and towns in Texas which
have Jewish communities; other Southern States, like Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Virginia, have each about, or nearly, half that number,
and Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee
about ten each. Each of the new States of Arizona and New Mexico have
three or four Jewish communities, Oklahoma has five; Florida, in the
extreme South, and Maine, the furthest North, each have about a half
dozen; California has more than both of them together; Washington has
three, and Oregon one. Of the other far Western States Utah has two
communities, Montana two, Nevada one, Idaho one, Wyoming one and
Colorado nine.
Coming to the nearer Western States and toward the border States, we
find four communities in Nebraska, eight in Kansas, twelve in Missouri,
thirteen in Iowa, eight in Kentucky and five in West Virginia. North
Dakota has five, Minnesota eight, while Wisconsin, with nineteen, and
Michigan, with twenty-four, show the result of proximity to the great
Central States where Jews have been settled in considerable numbers for
the last two generations. Among those States Illinois has the largest
number of Jews, owing to the great community of Chicago, while the
number of cities containing Jewish communities――twenty-three――is
somewhat smaller than that of Indiana, which has twenty-six, and of
Ohio, with its twenty-seven. We notice the same in the two greatest
States in the East, where, if we consider Greater New York City as
one community, the number of places containing Jewish organizations
is slightly less than in Pennsylvania, which has sixty-two such
places. New Jersey has more than forty, and of the New England States
Massachusetts leads with thirty-five, and Connecticut is second, having
twenty. Rhode Island has seven; Vermont and New Hampshire four each.
The list is completed with one community in the District of Columbia,
five in Maryland and one in Delaware.[64]
Philadelphia and Chicago are, besides New York, the only two cities
which contain about 100,000 or more Jews each. Boston has about
three-fourths of that number, Baltimore, Cleveland and St. Louis
about 50,000 each, and after them come in the order named: Newark, San
Francisco, Pittsburg and Cincinnati (with about 30,000 each); Detroit,
Buffalo, Providence and Jersey City, each having about half of that
number, while Rochester, Syracuse, New Haven, Milwaukee, Louisville,
New Orleans and Kansas City belong to the class which have 10,000 or
more. The twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul would belong to that
class if they were considered as one, which they really are. Washington,
the national capital, belong to the class of cities having between
5 and 10,000 Jews, which includes Albany, N. Y.; Columbus, Ohio;
Dallas, Tex.; Denver, Colo.; Pall River, Mass.; Hartford, Conn.;
Indianapolis, Ind.; Los Angeles, Cal.; Memphis, Tenn.; Omaha, Neb.;
Paterson, N. J; Portland, Ore.; Scranton, Pa.; Seattle, Wash., and
Trenton, N. J. There are some old and important settlements containing
less than 5,000, but the number which would have to be included in a
class of communities of that size is too large to be mentioned.
Congregations are continually being organized and synagogues built in
localities where none existed before, thus showing a gradual dispersion
of Jews to all parts of the country, while new houses of worship in
the large cities usually owe their erection to consolidation or to
the settlement in new neighborhoods. But only the buildings which
are entirely devoted to religious services are apt to be noticed by
those making records or gathering statistical material, while the small
congregation which worships in a private dwelling is usually overlooked.
The statistics about Jewish congregations in the United States are for
this reason more defective than the figures about any other phase of
Jewish activity, and the total given by the above mentioned Year Book
(for 5669, p. 65), _i. e_., 1745, for the entire country, should be
doubled to be nearer the truth, even if the lowest estimate of the
number of Jews in the country is accepted as the most probable one.
If it must be admitted that a process of disintegration is going on,
in which the pessimist sees something worse than a transformation or
re-adjustment to new conditions in a new world, it is, on the other
hand, obvious that a strong effort is made to counteract the forces of
dissolution. The various elements of the community, representing many
countries and different strata of immigration, are coming together in
a conciliatory spirit, as if instinctively impelled to co-operate. The
widespread activity in the building of synagogues, in which many whose
attitude was formerly indifferent, and even hostile, now participate,
is only one phase of the attempt to preserve Judaism in this country.
Much is done for charity and for Jewish education, the latter receiving
more attention than ever before. The public school systems of most of
the larger cities, following New York’s example, have taken over the
largest part of the work which was done before in Jewish institutions
to Americanize the immigrant. Not only the ♦proportion, but the actual
number, of the dependents on charity is decreasing, and while the needs
of Jewish charitable institutions are still great, more attention can
now be paid to specifically Jewish matters than at the time when the
problem of the material wants of the immigrants was overshadowing every
other communal activity.
The attempts to organize on a more general scale, and to consolidate
or federate existing organizations, which are frequently made and are
more often successful than in the preceding periods, are the clearest
manifestation of the spirit of the times in American Jewry. In most
of the large cities outside of New York the important local Jewish
charities are now federated, and the plan of federation is continually
gaining in favor. The federations, of which there are now more than a
dozen, and many other benevolent institutions of large and of smaller
communities, are represented in the National Conference of Jewish
Charities of the United States (organized 1899).
There is also noticeable in our communal life, as in American
public life in general, that tendency to self-criticism which often
degenerates into slander――that eternal dissatisfaction with things
accomplished and with present conditions, which implies a sincere
desire to achieve still better results. While this discontent and the
poor opinion which many of us have of the spiritual condition of the
Jews in America are of immense value as incentives to improvement, it
dims the eye of the foreign observer, especially if he comes from a
country where complacency and self-praise are the rule. It may still be
too early to summarize the communal activities of the Jews in America,
or to attempt to indicate how far we have approached the solution of
the most pressing problems. But signs of throbbing life are visible
everywhere, and the interest of the individual Jew in Jewish affairs
is increasing. There is, therefore, every reason to believe and to
hope that the opportunity which is afforded here to set the ♦Jewish
house in order――the best, and perhaps the first, in the diaspora――will
be utilized to its full extent by the future generations of native
American Jews.
We are happy to have no Jewish problem here, in the sense in which
the term is understood in the backward countries of the Old World. We
need not waste a part of our best energies in repelling attacks from
an anti-Semitic press or a Judophobe party, and our usefulness to
ourselves as well as to our neighbors is thereby enhanced. Members of
strange and hostile races and nationalities get along together in this
country much better than anywhere else in the past or the present time,
and their native children emerge from the “melting pot” united by a
patriotism and a desire for improved conditions and improved relations
which characterizes the American. The secularity of the Government
and the diversity of religious beliefs preclude the spread of the
denominational bigotry which is the real cause of the persecution
of the Jews in other countries; while the liberty and equality which
are vouchsafed to every citizen must themselves be lost before the
unfavorable conditions which prevail elsewhere can confront us here.
The Jew can become an American and at the same time preserve his
religious distinctiveness, which he can lose only by his own negligence
or disloyalty. Let us hope that those who now earnestly work to
strengthen and build up Judaism in America will be successful, and that
the fate or Divine Providence which has preserved us for thousands of
years brought us here to participate under new circumstances in the
advancement to a higher civilization in which the injustices of the
older one may never reappear.

Footnotes.
1 ‒ A remarkable work by Werner Sombart, _Die Juden and das
Wirtschaftsleben_ (Leipsic 1911), which appeared after the
above was written, deals exhaustively with the important
part which the Jews played in the development of business
and finance in medieval as well as in modern times. While
it is avowedly a partisan work written for a special
purpose, it is a notable contribution to social-economic
Jewish history which no student of the subject can afford
to neglect.
2 ‒ A fac-simile of this map is found in the “Jewish
Encyclopedia,” vol. III., opp. p. 678.
3 ‒ There is a record that it was not Columbus himself but a
sailor from Lepe who first saw a distant light and cried
“land!” and who, when he found that he had been defrauded
of the gratuity, obtained his discharge, went to Africa
and there discarded Christianity for his old faith. But
the chronicler does not inform us whether the sailor’s old
faith was Judaism or Islam.
4 ‒ This subject is treated extensively in the chapter headed
“Services rendered by the Jews to the Dutch, 1623–44,”
in Mr. Simon Wolf’s valuable work “_The American Jew as
Patriot, Soldier and Citizen_,” p. 443 ff., and in the
monogram “Damage done to Spanish Interests in America
by Jews of Holland,” which is incorporated in the
“Publications,” vol. XVII.
5 ‒ Rabbi P. A. Hilfman of Paramaribo, Surinam, in
“Publications” XVI, p. 7 ff., supplementing the chronology
made by Prof. Richard Gottheil in the same Publications at
the beginning of Vol. IV. See also Rev. J. S. Roos of the
Dutch Congreg. in Paramaribo, Ibid. Vol. XIII, pp. 126 ff.
6 ‒ Daly, “The Settlement of the Jews in North America,” p.
7 ff. The names of those early immigrants (some of them
coming from Holland about the same time) as far as can
be gathered from the records, are as follows: Abraham
d’Lucena, David Israel, Moses Ambrosius, Abraham de la
Simon, Salvatore d’Andrade, Joseph da Costa, David Frera,
Jacob Barsimson, Jacob C. Henrique (or Jacob Cohen), Isaac
Mesa and Asser Levy.
7 ‒ Judge Daly himself, however, sees no ground for inferring
that the decision proceeded from aversion. He thinks it
was simply a question of law. The law of New York colony
was especially modeled upon that of the mother country.
New York was a conquered province, and when it was taken
from the Dutch, the English mode of procedure in all
matters of law and government was introduced bodily; and
from this circumstance English forms, precedents and modes
of proceeding came into use to an extent that did not
prevail in other colonies where the people themselves
had been left to originate and frame such a system of
government and laws as was suggested by their wants
and most conducive to their interests. The Legislative
Assembly was therefore simply declaring the law as it
existed in England at that time. (l. c.)
8 ‒ Oscar S. Straus, “The Origin of the Republican Form of
Government in the United States,” p. 48.
9 ‒ See Oppenheim, “The Jews and Masonry,” in “Publications”
XIX, pp. 9 ff., for an interesting treatment of the
discussion about the authenticity of this statement.
10 ‒ For a list of their names see “Publications” XVII,
pp. 168–69.
11 ‒ Lecky, _Rationalism in Europe_, vol. II, 168, quoted in
Straus, _Origin of Republican Form of Government in the
United States_, pp. 19 _ff._, which see for an extensive
treatment of this subject.
12 ‒ Another great American clergyman, Dr. Henry M. Field
(1822–1907), who wrote about a century later, also found
in the Jewish polity much that was later adopted in the
Constitution of the United States. In his work _On the
Desert_ (New York, 1883), he says: “Perhaps it does not
often occur to readers of the Old Testament that there is
much likeness between the Hebrew Commonwealth and the
American Republic.... At the bottom there is one radical
principle that divides a republic from a monarchy or an
aristocracy; it is the natural equality of men――that “all
men are born free and equal”――which is fully recognized in
the laws of Moses as in the Declaration of Independence.
Indeed, the principle is carried further in the Hebrew
Commonwealth than in ours; for not only was there equality
before the laws, but the laws aimed to produce equality of
condition in one point, and that a vital one――the tenure
of land, of which even the poorest could not be deprived,
so that in this respect the Hebrew Commonwealth approached
more nearly to a pure democracy.” See a more extensive
quotation in Simon Wolf’s _The American Jew as Patriot,
Soldier and Citizen_, pp. 494–98.
13 ‒ A drawing of this design is printed as the frontispiece of
Mr. Straus’s above-named work.
14 ‒ See Dr. M. Kayserling. _A Memorial Sent by German
Jews to the President of the Continental Congress_, in
“Publications” VI, pp. 5–8, where it is also stated that
the letter was wrongly attributed to Moses Mendelssohn
(1729–86).
15 ‒ _The American Jew as Patriot, Soldier and Citizen_, by
Simon Wolf, edited by Louis Edward Levy, Philadelphia,
1895.
16 ‒ Aaron Levy (b. in Amsterdam, 1742; d. in Philadelphia,
1815), who was also of great assistance to the colonies in
their struggle for independence, was a partner of Robert
Morris in various enterprises in Pennsylvania. The town
of Aaronsburg, Center County, Pa., was founded by Levy
and is named after him. (See “Jew. Encyclopedia,” s. v.,
Aaronsburg and Levy, Aaron.)

Encyclopedia,” vol. IX, between pp. 294–95.

Governor of one of the United States_ in “Publications,”

29 ‒ The lines read as follows:
Amos and Judah――venerated names!
Patriarch and prophet, press their equal claims.
Like generous coursers running neck and neck,
Each aids the work by giving it a check.
Christian and Jew, they carry out a plan――
For though of different faith, each is in heart a man.
