In 2003, the newly formed Jewish Historical Society of Napa Valley released its first illustrated social history of the Jews of Napa Valley from 1848 to 2003. The success of that book inspired further elaboration. In July, 2012 Arcadia Publishing's America Series published a pictorial history, Napa Valley's Jewish Heritage, composed by Henry Michalski and Donna Mendelsohn. In 126 pages, divided into five periods, 1848 to the present, and illustrated with 200 vintage images, the authors present Napa's Jews, from the firstcomers to today's current population of 1,200. These photographs, generously and colorfully captioned, show, in all its diversity, Napa's 164-year-long history of Jewish life. Families, homes, weddings, religious holidays, schools, farms, stores, store owners, professionals, elected officials (men and, recently, women), and philanthropists are all represented, as is Napa's large and widely recognized wine-making industry.

As the world rushed in to profit from California's gold strike of 1848, many Jews joined the throng, not necessarily to mine but to sell merchandise to prospectors. Some settled in Napa Valley, a basin of rich agricultural land nestled between two mountain ridges. These pioneers conducted business, making significant contributions to the development of the Valley. Participating in cultural life, holding public office, and leading organizations, many also made fine wines, something perfected thousands of years ago as commanded in scripture. They continue to do so, and this is their story told through photographs. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
