Biographical / Historical

The Jewish communities of the Twin Cities can date back to when Minnesota was first a territory -- the first Jewish congregation was founded in 1856, before Minnesota was a state. The reports and surveys in this collection mostly center around Minnesota, Minneapolis, and Twin Cities Jewish communities and their needs regarding recreation for community centers, location within the Cities, religious beliefs and religious education, and more. The majority of the studies are conducted by local Jewish community organizations.
