Location
Sheboygan,
Wisconsin
Sheboygan, Wisconsin is
located on the western shore of Lake Michigan, 50 miles North of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin and 140 miles North of Chicago, Illinois. It is a city of about
50,000 people today (1997) and was about that size for at least the past 50
years. It was settled in the 1800s primarily by Dutch and German immigrants. In
the 1880s, the first Jews arrived from an area about 100 miles east of Vilna,
Lithuania. Over the next 30 years, or more, the word spread back to that part
of "Russia" that there was relative freedom and good opportunities in
this small town, and a number of Jewish families immigrated to Sheboygan. These
were religious Jews, who brought their Orthodox ways with them, established at
least three synagogues, religious schools, etc. In a sense they reestablished
their Eastern European shtetl life in this town in the upper Midwest. Most of
the Jewish families came from a small area to East of Vilnius (Vilna), North of
Minsk, and West of Vitebsk around the towns of Lepel, Boriosov, Kamen, Krasnoluki, Karalina, Beshenkovichi, Kublichi, Polotsk, Ulla, Vitebsk
and Dokshitz in the region that today is Belorus. (Sallyann Amdur Sack, co-editor of the Jewish Genealogy quarterly Avotaynu, wrote in March 1999 that "most
of the [Sheboygan] settlers were from Vitebsk guberniya [now Belarus] from Polotsk, Disna, Drissa, Kublichi.")
Interestingly it was recently discovered that a group of Jews from the same
region went to and helped form the Jewish community London, England, so there
are many relatives in the two communities.
The community prospered,
with the immigrant generation becoming workers in the towns factories, and also
trades people. The first American generation became shop owners, many becoming
grocers, and spreading out into the Wisconsin countryside. They prospered and
had families. Their numbers grew to several hundred families, and supported a
vigorous communal life. Their children, those who grew up in the 1940s and
1950s, became more Americanized and sought higher education. Many eventually
moved to the nearby larger city of Milwaukee and beyond. Many of us who have
fond memories of our youth in Sheboygan and trace our roots there, are active
citizens in cities both close to and far removed from that quiet clean little
city on the shores of Lake Michigan. Today, there remains only one conservative
synagogue, Beth El, with a small and shrinking older Jewish community with an
average age of about 70. This seems to be the fate of many of the Jewish
communities in smaller towns, and is repeated all over the United States.
Today, as the Milwaukee
Jewish community moves into Northern suburbs of Milwaukee including Mequon,
Sheboygan does not seem so far away anymore (less than a 40
minute drive). There are a few young Jewish couples moving to Sheboygan,
and so the future looks brighter for the Jewish community of Sheboygan.

ADAS ISRAEL (The White Shul)
At 13th and
Carl Avenue
Built in
1910
"This congregation was
organized about thirty years ago, with A. Aaronis,
Rabbi. The first services were conducted in the synagogue then located on North
Eighth Sreet between Superior and Lincoln Avenues. In
1910, this house of worship was moved to its present location on the corner of
Carl Avenue and N. Thirteenth street." (from an
article in The Sheboygan Press - date unknown)
From Historic Sheboygan County by
Gustave Buchen page 307-309, published in 1944, and
updated and revised in 1975.
Aaron Zion, probably
the first Jew to settle in Sheboygan, opened a millinery shop on North 8th
street. Shortly afterward Sol Rosenbaum, a clothes peddler and Joseph Buntmann, a fruit merchant were the next Jews to settle in
the town. Nearly all the Jewish immigrants to Sheboygan came from a region of
Russia that is today part of Belorus, where they
lived in small towns and were merchants, tailors, shoemakers, money lenders,
and dealers in grain, cattle , furs and hides. They
came mainly to improve their opportunities and economic conditions. Usually the man of the family came first by himself, and
then earned enough money to bring the rest of his family. Many started their
lives in Sheboygan as itinerant peddlers with packs on their backs and
ultimately opened small businesses.
Herman J. Holman who
came to Sheboygan in 1890, together with his uncles Nachsun
and Michael, who immigrated in 1889, first worked as tailors. Herman opened his
own shop for tailoring, cleaning and pressing in a building on North 8th
Street. Several years later he opened a junk peddling business on the south
side. Ultimately he had a building erected at South 14th
Street and Broadway and started a dry goods business, with his wife operating
the store, and he continued with the junk business. In a small shed next to the
store he opened a small factory and installed a
cutting table and a number of sewing machines to make pants that he sold to
local retail stores. In 1902 he and his brothers Aaron and Harry started an
overall manufacturing factory on Michigan Avenue,
however the venture was closed after a year. In 1906 he opened a factory on
Calumet Drive, which he named H. J. Holman & Sons. In 1925 the business was
moved to a large factory at South 14th Street and Alabama Avenue and renamed
the Lakeland Manufacturing Company. Aaron Holman founded the Reliable Shirt
& Overall Company on North 15th Street and Harry Holman started the Holman
Manufacturing Company on N. 13th Street.
Sheboygan Jews
remained strictly orthodox in terms of their religious practice, in compliance
with the practices that they brought from Russia. This was in contrast to the
reform Judiasm practiced by some Jews of German
descent in nearby Milwaukee (50 miles south of Sheboygan). There were three synagoges, Adas Israel, Ahavas Sholem and Ohel Moshe. Adas Israel, the oldest congregation, which was started in
the home of Nachsun Holman on North 8th street near
Bluff Avenue in about 1890. The first synagogue building was a small house, and
then moved to a larger building both located on North 8th street. The building
was moved to North 13th street and Carl Avenue in 1907 and was used by the
congregation until about 1975. Ahavas Sholem was first located in a wooden building on Michigan
Avenue just east of North 8th street and in 1903 was moved to 13th street and Geele Avenue, where it remained until 1975 (see photo
above). Ohel Moshe, founded in 1920 had its synagogue located at North 15th
street and Marie Court.
The Jews of
Sheboygan created an amazing number of social and fraternal organizations. The
oldest was a mutual benefit society, called the Western Star. The Jewish
Workman's Circle (Arbeiter Ring) was founded in
1914(?) (30 years before this publication) There also is a chapter of the B'nai
B'rith, one of the largest Jewish organizations in the US and the world. This
chapter is called the Davis Lodge, after Herman Davis, one of it founding fathers, and was created in 1919. In 1925 a
junior Jewish organization for young men, called A.Z.A., was formed.
From the founding of
the Jewish community until the 1960s most of the Jews lived in a neighborhood
ion the north-west side of Sheboygan in the vicinity of Geele
Avenue (see map above). This was because William Schaetzer,
the original owner of the subdivision, who encouraged them to settle there and
offered them favorable terms of purchase. There were about 175 Jewish families
in Sheboygan at the peak there were about 150 familes.
Within the decade before this publication, many have started to move to Milwauk ee and some to northern
Wisconsin.

Subject: "The White Shul"
Dear Mr. Alpert,
I just discovered the Sheboygan
website and enjoyed it thoroughly. I live on North 13th street in the heart of
what was once the Jewish neighborhood. I'm writing about the section entitled
'Synagogues of Sheboygan." There is a picture of a synagogue on 13th and
Carl called Adas Israel (The White Shul) with the
legend "built in 1910,raised in?" I believe
that the building currently on that site, now a church, is the original
synagogue, at least in part. It may have been remodeled or built on to. I say
this for the following reason, I notice that their is a large circular window on the building in
the picture. The church still has a large circular window with a nondescript,
nonreligious stained glass window. However
on the west side of the church facing the neighborhood and 15th street is a
stained glass window containing a Star of David. The room upstairs in the
church that has the Star of David window was being used as storage,and in that room is a large circular stained
glass window with another Star of David on it that I was told used to be in the
front of the church. I was also told by a former minister from that church that
the building was originally a synagogue. I hope this information is useful to
you.
God bless.

Researchers should note that they
have a rare opportunity to research their own family histories by going into
the Registrar of Deeds at the Sheboygan County Building in downtown Sheboygan.
You will have direct access to the doucments of
Birth, Death, Marriage records of your ancestors and can make copies of the
original materials. The clerks in the office are most helpful and courteous (as
we would expect from Sheboygan folk). Next time you are in Sheboygan, make this
stop and take advantage of a great opportunity to do original genealogical research
on your family.

Subject: List of Lepel Jews Killed
by Nazis
From: Rav
Eliyahu Tavger <eliyahu@tekhelet.co.il>
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000
I received from Leonid Guryevitch, a citizen of Lepel (tel. +375-213248293) a list
of the Jews of Lepel who were killed by the Nazis. The Germans took over Lepel
July 3, 1941. A ghetto was made on the outskirts of the town for all the Jews
who were left. On February 28, 1942 the ghetto was liquidated.
A memorial stone was put up at the
site, next to the town of Chernorutchye, 8 km. south
of Lepel, on the right side of the road Vitebsk/Minsk.

Subject: Nazi Victims from Kamen
From: Rav
Eliyahu Tavger <eliyahu@tekhelet.co.il>
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000
The
following is a list of Jewish victims of the Nazis from the shtetl, Kamen
(distance of 18 km. from Lepel), which I received from Leonid Guryevitch, a citizen of Lepel (tel. +375-213248293). They
were shot on October 17, 1941 on the outskirts of the town of Borki. A monument was erected on the site.
Sincerely,
Eliyahu Tavger
Jewish
victims of the Nazis from Kamen, Beelorussia
(distance of 18 km. from Lepel)
