{ A Shore Thing 2013 www.thesam.org The Sam Azeez Museum of Woodbine Heritage, located in Cape May County just minutes from the beaches, offers visitors a glimpse of life in this Jewish agricultural community. Woodbine was the largest of the agricultural experimental communities that flourished at the end of the 19th century during the great wave of immigration to America. Built in 1893 and consecrated as an orthodox synagogue in 1896, the majestic building was the largest shul in Woodbine. The community was started by German railroad magnate Maurice DeHirsch, who was devoted to helping Russian Jews escape from pogroms and inscription into the Czar’s army. Woodbine thrived agriculturally and as an industrial town and was documented as the first fully Jewish governed community since the fall of the second temple in Jerusalem. Today, as an extension of The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, the synagogue serves as a museum built upon the rich multicultural heritage of the town and the teaching center for Cape May County of the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education. Individual and group tours of the historic landmark are welcome. Academic credit courses are currently underway for the summer 2013 session.
