s Michigan joins the nation in
celebrating the 350th anniversary
of Jewish life in America, the
Detroit Jewish News presents this special
timeline of Jewish history in Michigan.
Marking the arrival of the first 23 Jews
in North America in 1654, the 350th
celebration pays tribute not only to what
America — with its ideals of freedom —
has meant to the Jewish people but what
the Jews have meant to America.

For the Jewish history of Michigan to
assume its rightful place of importance in
the national overview of American Jewish
history, this timeline will focus on how
Jewish history in Michigan is different from
all other histories, how it is similar and what
makes it important.
This chronology highlights the promise of
Michigan, originally the wilderness of two
peninsulas, to Jews arriving by voyageur canoe
in the 1700s and continuing today, and how
Michigan Jews have responded to that promise.

As stated in the mission of the Jewish
Historical Society of Michigan, let us
"educate, celebrate and promote the
contributions of the Jews of Michigan
to our state, our nation and the world."
Let both newcomers and those with
long roots in the state, our neighbors
across the state and the nation, and
especially our children know and take
pride in this special story.
May we continue to grow from
strength to strength.
