very once in a while, you
come across a very pleasant
surprise as you travel the
vast world. My most recent
surprise was a tiny but vibrant Jewish
community in Saint John, a small
town of 35 families in the Canadian
province of New Brunswick:
The roots of this Jewish gem go
back to 1858, when Alice and
Solomon Hart emigrated from Eng-
land and settled in this Maritime
province. Other Maritime provinces
of Canada are Newfoundland, Nova
Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
The Harts started a successful fac-
tory in Saint John and also helped
found the first synagogue, Ahavith
Achim or Brotherly Love, in 1898.
Their daughter was the first Jewish
bride there.
Also in the 1890s, a wave of Jewish
immigrants came to Saint John from
Dorbian, Lithuania. Many of today's
families can trace their roots to the
Lithuanian shtetl.
In 1899, a second
synagogue was estab-
lished. Right after
World War I, in
1918, the two con-
gregations joined
together and pur-
chased the present
