The Congregation Beth Jacob was founded in 1900 by Jewish immigrants in Plymouth, Massachusetts who wanted a central place of worship. After overcoming conflicts between factions, they purchased land in 1910 and began construction of a synagogue building in 1911. The cornerstone was laid in 1912 and the synagogue was consecrated in 1913, allowing the whole Jewish community to worship together. While the building was modest, it fulfilled the goal of having their own house of worship. Education of children was also important, first through individual tutoring and then a Talmud Torah school. The congregation supported its members during World War I and a family paid off the synagogue's second mortgage after their son returned safely.

4. Message from President Sheila Finer
All members of Congregation Beth Jacob, past and present, should be
very proud of this momentous milestone we celebrate together. One hundred
years is quite an accomplishment and we appreciate all the insight, sacrifices,
perseverance and dedication our founders had to bring us to this day. Current
and future members should reflect on that commitment and desire to be a part
of this legacy and strive to keep CBJ and our Judaism alive and well in Plymouth
and its surroundings.
I thank all of you who joined us for this special weekend of festivities and
wonderful memories as well as those who supported our tribute book and
continue to support us in all of our endeavors. It has been such a pleasure to
reconnect with people who have moved away, but still consider Plymouth their
home. Their stories are filled with warmth and love. The “hamish” town and
synagogue I fell in love with more than thirty years ago are even more so now.
Sheila Finer, President

5. Message from Rabbi Lawrence M. Silverman
When I arrived in Plymouth for my interview with
the leaders of CBJ, in the spring of 1973,
Jack Minsky, of blessed memory,
then president of the Congregation,
took me under his wing.
Knowing that my experience was mostly with big-city
synagogues, Jack said that CBJ didn’t have many of
the advantages that I had been used to; and he said:
“We have something more important.
We have good people here.
I think you’ll like it here.”
From that day to this, Jack was right.
It has been an honor for me to be, with you,
a vital part of Congregation Beth Jacob.
Thank you for supporting Jack’s dream,
and mine, and Sheila Finer’s, and the dream
of our Founders and of our members and
friends representing CBJ’s first hundred years:
To be a voice for living Judaism in our Towns;
to be a community of Jewish learning;
to stand for and teach Jewish values;
to instill knowledge, pride, and confidence
in our children; and to celebrate the promise
of our new century.
— “Rabbi Lawrence” —

13. A Brief History of Congregation Beth Jacob
By Rose Sherman Geller
As written for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the building of the Synagogue
In 1880, the very first Jewish family arrived in Plymouth. The year 1900,
5660 of the Hebrew calendar, found the Jews of Plymouth
worshipping God in the orthodox fashion, with a Sefer Torah that the common funds
of the “Minion” had purchased. Daily and Sabbath prayers were held in homes, but at
the High Holy Days a hall was hired to accommodate the Jewish Community which
consisted of forty families.
The early minutes of the meetings held by this group, written in pencil, in
Yiddish, in a large ledger, disclosed many conflicts. The larger number of the then
forty families were recent immigrants in poor financial circumstances. Although, at
times, they separated into two and prayed separately for High Holydays, a small group
of courageous men were dedicated to the idea that one synagogue, where all Jews of
Plymouth could come to pray, must be built. They formed the Beis Jacob Society and
began to work for the erection of a Synagogue. With nothing but hope, these men
started a drive for money to purchase a lot from the small dues of $6.00 per year, helped
by a contribution from the Hebrew Ladies Aid Society.
The March 7, 1910, minutes show that the property had been purchased, a
mortgage secured, and the deed given to the Treasurer. Thus, the two main groups had
reconciled their differences, and become one in their efforts to build a Synagogue.
On July 24, 1910, full power was given to the President to have the cellar dug.
On March 12, 1911, the minutes show a motion to pay $75.00 for the “PLAN” and
instructions to find out how to go about building a Synagogue.
The spirit of the original founders began to bear fruit. In 1911, all of the Jews of
Plymouth were members of the same society and actual construction of the Beth Jacob
Synagogue was very near. Many ideas for the building were studied and rejected. The
final plans that met with the committee’s approval were those that called for a “building,
complete with seats, three rooms, a Mikvah, and steam heat.”

14. In the latter part of 1912, with a celebration in which the whole community
participated, the cornerstone was laid for the beautiful house of worship that was to
add so much to the spirit of Judaism in the community. Although the building was not
complete for the following Rosh Hashonah, services were conducted for the first time
in the Beth Jacob Synagogue by Rabbi Nathanson and Rabbi Steinberg. Despite the fact
that the interior was not yet beautifully decorated, these holiday services were the most
impressive they had ever attended.
It is 1913. The whole Congregation stands out in the street eagerly awaiting the
arrival of horse drawn carriages—men in their derby hats and topcoats, women in
the most elegant finery and large feathered hats, the children in their polished high
buttoned shoes. A carriage, drawn by two white horses, pulls up in front of the
Synagogue, followed by a second carriage with a team of black horses. Two men dressed
in top hats, morning coats, and striped pants descend from the first carriage, tenderly
carrying two precious Torahs. Beth Jacob is finally ready to be consecrated as a House
of Worship. Opening services are conducted by Rabbi Friederman of Boston, and
proudly attended by Jews from many miles around.
The building was now complete, a simple exterior with a very modest interior. Our
Plymouth pioneers had achieved their goal—Plymouth had a Synagogue—their own
House of Worship! With a debt of approximately $14,000 it was necessary to raise two
mortgages to assist in the payment, but it was worth it for the congregation faced the
future with renewed hope.
The education of their children was foremost in the minds of these staunch men
and women. Children were taught individually in their homes by such able men as
Michel Toabe until a Talmud Torah was founded and conducted by Rev. Krinsky. A
succession of Rabbis and teachers followed. They included old “Melamed” Nathanson,
“Sheched” Steinberg, Rabbi Lippins, Rabbi Barras, and others.
World War I found Plymouth Jewry ready to help and fight for their country. The
congregation gave its youth to fight the enemy, and assisted the Red Cross in their
humanitarian work. In 1919, a mother and father, happy that their son had been spared,
paid off the second mortgage of the Synagogue as their expression of thanks. Other
individuals and the Ladies Society had paid off part of the first mortgage. Only a small
balance remained.
The Hebrew Ladies Aid Society met in homes, sitting around a kitchen table,
paying dues of 10¢ a month. These original Social Workers began a Gameles Chesed
(charitable fund) supporting the needy—giving out small loans without interest to tide a
man over for short periods in business. Their funds proudly purchased the first mantles

15. (brocade and velvet covers) for the Torahs. Then their funds bought the silver crowns
and breastplate to dress and adorn the Torahs, and polished them constantly with their
loving hands.
Giving Tzedokeh (charity) was our first teaching. As a group they supported
national funds and sent their few dollars to Eretz Yisrael, and we continue their teaching
today. Individually every home had its own charity box in which to deposit coins in
honor of the Sabbath, holidays, and other happy or sad occasions. Giving was a first
consideration.
The late nineteen twenties was a sad time in the history of the Congregation and
the country as well, depressed both financially and spiritually. Interest lagged with the
loss of so many of the founding members, and community activity was at a standstill.
Many families left the area. At this time our Chedur consisted of approximately
fourteen students, and Rabbi Goldberg’s efforts were appreciated.
In 1933, the Young Men’s Club was formed. Under the vision and leadership of
Katherine Toabe, a Women’s Club was organized one year later. This was a very historic
event, since the woman’s organization evolved into our present day Sisterhood, which
remains a vital part of our Synagogue.
The 25th Anniversary of the Synagogue was observed on October 15, 16, and 17,
1937, under the able leadership of Rabbi Samuel A. Friedman. Better days were upon our
Congregation with a formal Talmud Torah and Sunday School now well organized, and
regular religious services being held.
At this time also, our Rabbi was invited to join the Plymouth Council of Churches,
an important step for the comparatively young Congregation. We had become an
increasingly important part of Plymouth life, accepted as an equal and integral part of
the town’s religious community.
The next ten years found Plymouth Jewry slowly adding to their numbers,
gradually organizing their Sisterhood and Hadassah, and further formalizing religious
education under the direction of such worthy Rabbis as Rabbi Friedman and Rabbi
Gerber, still remembered fondly by so many of our families.
World War II found twenty-one of our young Jewish men serving their country.
They answered the call, bringing them to action both in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres.
Our Congregation was blessed and protected, and their were no casualties amongst
them.
Our young men returned to start their careers and enthusiastically helped us start
the beautification of the Beth Jacob Synagogue. Our membership consisted of only

16. thirty-five families in the early 1950’s. New families were moving into the Plymouth area,
and children were being born in that post-war period. The Hebrew and Sunday Schools
were growing and expanding slowly. The younger membership represented diverse
shadings in thought from Traditional to Liberal Judaism, and once again a precious few
held the Synagogue together. Capable spiritual leaders, Rabbi Wise, Rabbi Schwartz,
Rabbi Elephant, Rabbi Moseson, and Rabbi Green led the Community forward. Each
crisis was met and passed on, only to be confronted with another of greater consequence
as we drifted along.
A Parish House was purchased in 1959. Members were personally solicited, and
enough money was pledged. Once again, the precious few made this important addition
possible.
1963 still found the Congregation in financial difficulties, divided as to beliefs, yet
ready and united in celebrating three memorable days—May 24, 25, and 26—the 50th
Anniversary of Congregation Beth Jacob, under the leadership of Rabbi Sidney A. Green.
It was a very special time of love, pride, accomplishment, and reunion—shared by all.
The Congregation gradually turned Reform about eighteen years ago to attract and
accommodate younger members coming into our area. However, it remains traditional in
every respect, so that any worshiper entering our services would feel at home among our
men praying in Tallit (prayer shawls) and yamulkehs.
Rosh Hashonah finds our band of Pilgrims still crossing the street and walking to
the banks of Town Brook, as did our Forefathers in this beautiful setting, carrying on the
tradition of Tashlich—Casting our bread upon the waters!
Our Congregation grew rapidly under Rabbi Lawrence Silverman. We purchased
the United Methodist Church in 1979 for the purpose of having a Community Center to
accommodate our expanded membership for High Holyday Services. Significantly, the
Bema faces East to make us feel at home during Services. The building was renovated
to include a beautiful large auditorium and kitchen to meet the needs of our groups for
meetings and functions. It also has six classrooms plus various other rooms used for our
Sunday School, with fluctuating enrollment of approximately 65 students in Hebrew and
Bible study. We surely have grown from our earliest Chedur Class of five or six young
men.
Our Community was now well established. We provided a place for prayer, we had
our religious schools well established, and yet one thing was missing. All the preceding
years we had to travel to other cities to bury our dead. When a portion of the Vine Hills

17. Cemetery was set aside here in Plymouth, Rabbi Silverman brought earth from Israel, and
we held services consecrating our own Beth Jacob Cemetery.
As time went along, certain few members realized how precious our original small
Synagogue had become. It was now the oldest synagogue in continuous operation in
the State of Massachusetts. Once again our ladies took action, and with a substantial
endowment from a friend, the Estelle Pokross Sherman Fund was established for the
express purpose of preservation of our beloved Beth Jacob Synagogue at 8 Pleasant Street.
This fund maintains and preserves the building. Once again, Beth Jacob Synagogue was
saved!
Rabbi Lawrence Silverman served our community well for a period of eleven years
and was followed by Rabbi Yosef Zylberberg as our spiritual leader. On August 1, 1988, we
welcomed back Rabbi Silverman to once again lead our Community in this very special
year of celebration.
Once again the future is promising. People are turning from city living to the
coastline of the greater Plymouth area. We look forward to an active increased
membership and GOLDEN YEARS!
Now upon the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of Beth Jacob Synagogue, the family
of Abraham and Sarah Sherman turn over their original pictures of the dedication of the
Synagogue in 1913 for display there. It is the Congregation’s hope that the year 2013 will
find Beth Jacob Synagogue still growing and prospering, and that the grandchildren and
great grandchildren of the Founding Fathers will proudly look forward with joy to taking
charge of the 100th Anniversary with the same enthusiasm with which it all began.
