Brith Sholom Beth Israel (Charleston, S.C.)
Variant namesBrith Sholom Beth Israel was formed in Charleston, South Carolina, from the merger of two Orthodox Jewish congregations -- Brith Sholom (est. 1854) and Beth Israel (est. 1911). Originally spelled Berith Shalome (Covenant of Peace), Brith Sholom was the first Ashkenazic congregation in South Carolina and one of the first in the South. Its membership swelled in the late 19th century with a wave of East European Jewish immigrants. In 1911, some of the newcomers split from their Americanized co-religionists and chartered a separate Orthodox synagogue, Beth Israel (House of Israel). In 1955, the two congregations merged and moved into Beth Israel's larger building at 181 Rutledge Avenue, where Brith Sholom Beth Israel (BSBI) is currently located.
