Washington, DC +	The first jew settled here at the end of the 18th century. However the city flourished in the post world war 2 era and there is not much here for the jewish history buff. The Adas Israel was dedicated in 1876. It is now a conservative synagouge. The original structure hosts Lillian & Albert Small Jewish Museum. The Musuem is run by the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington, which gives building tours and walking tours. ==Jewish Geography== Nor will one find much pertaining to modern Jewish life, like kosher restaurants or shuls. The Jewish communities are mostly in the suburbs; Silver Springs, Rockville. There is one orthodox minyan in town Kesher Israel (Georgetown Synagogue - Washington D.C.). There are many hotels within walking distance. However some prefer to stay across the river to get cheaper rates.  +
