From Brunswick: 100 Years of Memories (1990)

BETH ISRAEL CONGREGATION


The Jewish community in Brunswick was never large enough to have a weekly service, which requires a minyan (ten or more male Jews, age 13 and over). Even so, fewer than ten could pray together omitting some part of the ritual.

Sometimes the local congregation would go to Baltimore for religious services at the home of a friend. Sometimes they would travel to (or have guests from) neighboring Jewish communities such as Frederick, Hagerstown, Baltimore, and Charles Town, W.Va., for a regular service or special celebration such as a Bar Mitzvah (the ceremony at which a 13-year old Jewish boy reaches religious adulthood).
