Little Jerusalem (Burlington, Vermont)
Little Jerusalem is the historic Jewish quarter in Burlington, Vermont. The neighborhood was located in Burlington's North End, particularly along North Street. The community was vibrant between the 1880s and the 1930s. The religious and secular practices in Little Jerusalem resembled the shtetl life of Eastern Europe, due to the Eastern European origins of the community. As the North End was rural at the time, Little Jerusalem's Yiddishkeit strongly paralleled the characteristics of rural Eastern European village life. Due to assimilation, intermarriage, secularization, and other developments, Little Jerusalem had largely faded as a distinct community by the time of the Second World War.
