ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER'S

"MONET IN THE '90s"
CHICAGO

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA•
TORONTO

From

from Europe landed directly
at Portland harbor, carrying
many Jews along with other
immigrants. Most Jews,
however, have come by land
from other cities where they
first settled.
And they're still coming;
some Portlanders say the
Jewish population is larger
than its official estimates.
And everyone agrees Portland
Jews are highly active.
"This is the most active
Jewish town in all of Maine;'
says Sky, who came here in
the early 1960s when he sens-
ed there was a renaissance in
Portland not only in the
cultural life of the city but in
its Jewish life, too. He wasn't
disappointed.
"We have everything you
could hope for in a Jewish
community," he says. "I think
there was a feeling among the
Jews who moved here that if
they couldn't have a large
Jewish community, they
would carry the community
within themselves. And they
have done that."
Beth El, the conservative
synagogue where Sky served
for 25 years (he has just
retired) is a spacious modern
temple in the Brighton area
where many Jews live. It's a
low-lying bulding shaded by
trees. Its membership is now
550 households, making it
the largest of Portland's four
congregations.
Nearby is Shaarey Tphiloh,
the Orthodox synagogue at 76
Noyes Street, which also is
large and modern.
Closer to the center of town
is Etz Haim, a brick building
enclosed by a garden. It's
located on lower Congress
Street, the area where the
early Jewish residents first
clustered. Nov that most
have moved further out, the
synagogue membership is
small, but there are still dia-
ly minyans.
Across the street from Etz
Haim is Levinsky's, a large
corner building and longtime
landmark in Portland. This
Jewish-owned general store is
just one evidence of the strong
Jewish presence in the
business life of Portland.
A two-story brick bulding
set into a hill in South
Portland is headqurters for
the city's first Reform con-
gregation. At first, the
Westcott Medical Center at
111 Westcott Road seems an
unlikely place for a Jewish
congregation to meet. But it's
also evidence of how rapidly
this fledgling congregation
has grown.

Today, membership has
jumped to 200 households and
it's still growing.11
