History of the Jews in the American West

The 19th century saw Jews, like many other people, moving to the American West. Today, California has one of the largest Jewish-American populations at about 1 million, and the state's main Jewish communities are found in Los Angeles (esp. the western side like Westwood and the city of Beverly Hills) and the San Francisco Bay Area (i.e. San Francisco and Berkeley near Oakland). Also recent Russian Jewish immigration are settling in urban Jewish communities, such as the state capital of Sacramento and a smaller yet well-known Jewish community in Palm Springs.
