The Jewish Presence on the North Side
Beginning in the 1880's, the North Side of Minneapolis was home to a vibrant and vital Jewish community. Like most of the millions of immigrants who arrived in this country, they were seeking freedom and opportunity, and in this neighborhood, they found it. The pushcart peddler became a grocer, a junkman opened a scrap metal business, a
tailor started a clothing store. Quickly, they established synagogues, social service agencies, and
educational and cultural institutions to serve the needs of their community.
