Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Binghamton

The beginnings of a Jewish community in Binghamton were evident as far back as 1862 with the arrival of a small group of Jewish immigrants from Germany, who formed the Hebrew Benevolent Society. In 1885, the East European immigrant Jews organized the first formal congregation known as Sons of Israel. Most of the early members were peddlers who covered a wide radius in all directions from Binghamton, carrying in their packs everything from dry goods to eyeglasses. These men would spend all week out of the city peddling, and on Friday, by two's and three's, they would trickle back to Binghamton to settle accounts and bathe and dress for Shabbos. Meeting in a rented house at 145 Susquehanna Street.
