The first synagogue was build in in 1730 in the colony of New York. During the colonial era the Jewish population grew to 2,000 and at least seven synagogues were built from New York to Savannah. In about 1830, 250,000 Jewish immigrants fled persecution in Bavaria to the United States, entering through Ellis Island.  In 1881, a massive migration of 2 million began to flee [[pogroms]] in Russia to immigrate to the United States.
