		Blazing the Trail: Denver's Jewish Pioneers Singer Gallery, Robert E Loup Jewish Community Center 350 S Dalia Denver, CO 80246 Hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Sunday 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm The Gold Rush of 1859 brought the first Jewish settlers to Colorao in search of opportunity and adventure. The unpredictability of gold mining and a growing demand for supplies encouraged many of the early Jewish pioneers, most of them of German origin, to open small businesses. Denver's early Jewish pioneers, both men and women, soon founded synagogues, civic and philanthropic institutions, fraternal groups and hospitals, as they developed their own communal organizations and activities which helped foster Jewish continuity. Programs are made possible through a generous grant from the Rose Community Foundation. Sponsors: Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical Society/Beck Archives, Special Collections, Penrose Library; University of Denver Center for Judaic Studies. Co-sponsors: Mizel Museum; MACC at the JCC; Jewish Genealogy Society of Colorado; Allied Jewish Federation [ More Information ]
