very good relations with their
non-Jewish neighbors.
Church groups often visit the
synagogue; the Masons and
the Girl Scouts have come to
Seders; and Kass has been a
guest speaker at Flagler Col-
lege, where a course in Old
Testament is offered.
Like the city itself, this con-
gregation has quite a history.
Though it can't claim to be
the oldest in the nation, or
even in Florida, it is believed
to be the third oldest in the
state — after Pensacola and
Jacksonville.
The earliest Jewish settlers
were Eastern European im-
migrants who found their
way to this small town near
Jacksonville in varied — and
sometimes unexpected ways.
Jacob Tarlinsky, the
founder of the congregation,
came to St. Augustine for
health reasons. Kass' own
father came because he liked
this quiet town in north-
eastern Florida better than
other cities in Florida.
After living in Jacksonville.
Kass' father thought he'd
prefer the south. But when he
got to Miami, he headed right
back up north.
Others came to help make
a minyan.
At the time, in the late
1800s, there were just eight
Jewish men living in St.
Augustine. "Somebody told
those men about two Jews in
Fernandina," says Kass," and
they sent for them — got them
places to stay, even found jobs
for them — so they'd have a
minyan. And that's how my
father-in-law got to St.
Augustine." In time, Snyder
became not only a loyal
member of the congregation
but a successful cattleman
and organizer of the Florida
Cattlemen's Association.
By 1898, the Jewish
residents were praying
regularly in Jacob Tarlinsky's
house on Bridge Street. And
by 1923, they had built their
synagogue — the same one
the members still use today.
But there have been
changes since the early days.
The congregation, once Or-
thodox, is now Conservative.
Three years ago, the members
had a new addition built to
the synagogue. Kass points
out the kosher kitchen, the
classrooms for Hebrew school,
and the social hall where the
Friday evening Oneg Shabbat
is held. Iburists are always
welcome to join in, says Kass.
"We just love St.
Augustine," Kass says. "It's a
good place to raise a Jewish
family. In fact, it's a good
place for everything." ❑
