    Would you be interested in a paper on the history of the Jewish community of Troy from the 1840s to the 1940s. The paper would focus on the creation of Jewish religious institutions (synagogues), like Berith Sholom; community institutions, like YMHA, efforts of Troy Jews to show their solidarity with Jews abroad—the 1930s with Jews in Germany; and efforts of Jews to show their acceptance as Americans. I may briefly mention that there were two other Jewish communities in Rensselaer County—Jewish farmers who created three synagogues in the southern part of the county—only the one in Nassau is still in use. There was also a Jewish community from 1880s to 1930s in Hoosick Falls with the last Jewish owned business apparently shutting down in the 1960s—no active community today following the pattern of the disappearance of small Jewish communities around the country. My focus will be on Troy.
