Excerpt from Western Jewry: An Account of the Achievements of the Jews and Judaism in California, Including Eulogies and Biographies; "The Jews in California"

We now turn our attention to the story of the inner life and activities of the Jews in California. Naturally each locality has its own story to tell of settlement and organization. On some other occa sion it is our hope to tell the detailed story of each Jewish settlement in California. Organized Jewish communities which call for such dis cassion were found or are still to be found in Placerville, Grass Valley, Sacramento, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Santa Rosa, San Jose, Stockton, Fresno, Bakersfield, Sonora, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Cruz and San Francisco. At present we must con tent ourselves with the account of what the Jews did for themselves in the largest city of the State and of the Coast. In very large measure this story is typical of Jewish life elsewhere.
