History

History

In 1882, forty-three families escaped Russia’s pogroms and settled in this rural Southern New Jersey community as the “first successful Jewish agricultural colony in the United States. They belonged to the Am Olam Movement that believed in a “return to the soil.” They organized a Jewish Burial Society, the Chevra Kadisha and built a synagogue. In 1891, they founded the Alliance Jewish Cemetery.
