As the world rushed in to profit from California’s gold strike of 1848; many Jews joined the throng; not necessarily to mine but to sell merchandise to prospectors. Some settled in Napa Valley; a basin of rich agricultural land nestled between two mountain ridges. These pioneers conducted business; making significant contributions to the development of the Valley.

They continue to do so; and this is their story told through photographs.
