Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Clarkstown

Early Jewish settlers came in the late 1890s as peddlers and small retail shopkeepers. Congregation Sons of Israel was established in Nyack in 1891 and was the first synagogue in the county. The rise in the Orthodox population has created several political changes and challenges including the issue of density/own zoning and affordable housing, and the delicate situation in the East Ramapo school district, in which only 9,200 of the close to 25,000 students attend public schools.
