The nation's thirty-first state emerged early as one of its most
diverse as people immigrated to the west. California's indigenous
tribes were forced off their lands first by Spanish settlers, then
by the arrival of gold miners from every corner of the world.
Because of its Catholic missionary history, Gold Rush California
did not experience a more exclusive eastern-style Protestantism.
This permitted more rapid and inclusive acculturation. California
Jews, unlike their eastern counterparts whose arrival often
followed that of European Protestants, were often among the first
settlers to establish a west coast community.
Jewish immigrants to California took advantage of its physical
environment, ethnic diversity, and cultural distinctiveness to
fashion a form of Judaism unique in the American experience.
California Jews enjoyed unprecedented access to political power a
generation earlier than their New York counterparts. They thrived
in the multicultural mix, redefining the classic black-white racial
binary by forging relations with a variety of religious and ethnic
groups in both San Francisco and Los Angeles.
