Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Augusta

The first recorded Jew in Augusta was Isaac Hendricks, who left Charleston and settled in the Georgia town in 1802 to trade with Indians in the area. An organized Jewish community didn’t develop in Augusta until the 1840s, when German immigrants began to arrive. Over time two Orthodox minyanim have developed. The Jewish population was mainly engaged in trade until the mid 1970s when more professionals arrived. The popluation is now around 1000, Chabad added a minyan when one of the synagogues became conservative in the 1990s.
