From the author: The Jews from the island of Rhodes and the other Sephardic Jews that followed them to Montgomery, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia, formed unique independent communities while retaining strong ties to traditions and coreligionists from their place of origin. Strong Sephardic identity complemented by strong social and familial ties with lansmen brought and kept these Jews together. Although some ties have loosened with the passing of the generations, common ancestry has bound the descendents of the founding generation together in a united communal and synagogual structure.
