Description

Long Island has probably the most vibrant Jewish communities within the nation. After World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jewish soldiers returned from war in search of a life within the suburbs and synagogues to sign up for. In 1946, Rabbi Elias Solomon known as a meeting of Conservative rabbis from the area in Manhattan to map out a plan for a synagogue at each and every South Shore Long Island Railroad stop from Valley Stream to Patchogue. Central Synagogue of Nassau County and Beth El in Great Neck both grew to multiple thousand families as Reform Judaism took hold. The expansion of the Chabad movement in contemporary decades has spurred an increase of Orthodox Judaism. Writer Ira Poliakoff catalogues the history of synagogues and congregations that have shaped Long Island past and present.
