Memory register · custodian, not owner
Shortly after the founding of the Georgia colony in 1733, a group of Jews, mostly Sephardim who had arrived from London, landed in Savannah, making it one of the oldest centers of American Judaism. The community formed around the congregation Mickve Israel, one of the first organized Jewish congregations in North America. Its members took part in the commerce and life of the colony and then the state. Over time, Ashkenazim joined the Sephardim, and the congregation evolved toward Reform Judaism. Savannah remains a notable historical center of Southern Judaism.
