Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Richmond

There has been a Jewish presence in British Columbia since the 19th Century. Most of the early Jewish immigrants came from the United States and Britain. In the late 19th and early 20th century Eastern European Jews fleeing the pogroms of that time found their way to British Columbia. Being just south of Vancouver many of the synagogues grew up as a result of the spill over from the city.
