Jewish Agriculture Society

The Jewish Agricultural Society, founded in 1895, was an organization dedicated to promoting agricultural development among Jewish communities, particularly recent immigrants to the United States. It aimed to help Jewish workers and farmers improve farming techniques, acquire land, and establish sustainable agricultural livelihoods. The Society provided educational programs, resources, and support to foster self-sufficiency and economic stability within Jewish agricultural endeavors. Its efforts contributed to a broader movement encouraging rural settlement and economic growth for Jewish immigrants during a period of significant migration and social change.
