- Yaazor (Hebrew: יעזור, "He will help"), also known as the Yiddishe Kolonye (Yiddish: יידישע קאלאניע) was a 351-acre agricultural settlement created by Russian-Jewish immigrants to Maryland, supported by the Hebrew Colonial Society of Maryland. Residents of the commune spoke Yiddish and Russian. The colony was located in what is now the Pickall Area of the Patapsco Valley State Park, downstream from the Daniels ghost town and upstream from Ellicott City, in the Woodlawn census-designated place of Baltimore County. The settlement was located between Johnnycake Road and the Patapsco River. Rabbi Tobias Goodman founded the community is 1903 as a Utopian refuge for Russian Jews escaping from the antisemitism and pogroms of the Russian Empire. By 1940, the community was mostly abandoned and the last land was sold by 1968. At its peak, 200 people lived at Yaazor. There were houses, farms, and a one-room school. After school, religious classes were held in the schoolhouse and the community's rabbi taught on Sundays. Benjamin Szold Levin of the Jewish Historical Society described Yaazor as "a kind of Fiddler on the Roof shtetl in America." (en)
