Thank you, Adrian. I couldn't have put it better myself. I might also point out that the history of Jewish immigration to the Central Plains is very poorly documented and is often only discovered in the remains of material culture. I'm trying to find the actual reference in my extensive non-electronic "database", but there's an excellent historic archeological report on Jews in the Far West (primarily Colorado and New Mexico).
