Jews have been living in Maine, a state in the northeastern United States, for 200 years, with significant Jewish communities in Bangor as early as the 1840s and in Portland since the 1880s. The arrival of Susman Abrams in 1785 was followed by a history of immigration and settlement that parallels the history of Jewish immigration to the United States. As of 2012, the Jewish population in Maine is nearly 14,000 and spread out over several communities.

  • Jews have been living in Maine, a state in the northeastern United States, for 200 years, with significant Jewish communities in Bangor as early as the 1840s and in Portland since the 1880s. The arrival of Susman Abrams in 1785 was followed by a history of immigration and settlement that parallels the history of Jewish immigration to the United States. The first recorded Jew in Maine was Susman Abrams, who arrived in the area in 1785. Abrams, originally from Hamburg, Germany, first settled in the town of Waldoboro and worked as a peddler. Abrams would later move to Thomaston and then Union, where he opened a tannery. In 1810, he married widow Mary Jones of the town of Friendship, a Christian. Abrams died on October 6, 1830 at about 87 years old. Small Jewish communities began forming across the state, with German Jews settling in Bangor by 1829. The Jewish community in the city of Bangor would be the first to found a synagogue when they founded Congregation Ahawas Achim in 1849. Ahawas Achim would close seven years later, and its members left the state for other Jewish communities. As of 2012, the Jewish population in Maine is nearly 14,000 and spread out over several communities. (en)
