The Jewish Traveler By Maxine Silverstein Baltimore, Maryland Larry Horowitz, CLU, ChFC Financial 5950 Fairview Road, Suite 608 Charlotte, NC 28210 (704) 556-9982. Fax (704) 369-2918 Helping in the CREATION, PRESERVATION & DISTRIBUTION of your Estate It’s been about ten years since I’ve visited Baltimore, but the recent release of the movie Hairspray made me want to say, “Good Morning, Baltimore.” We had planned a weekend trip to Washington, DC to visit our daughter Kara and decided to spend the day in Baltimore. It was a fun-filled, busy day, complete with lots of great Jewish sites. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our visit to this amazing city. Baltimore is the home of the Orioles, the Ravens, the Pimlico Race Course and the Social Security Administration; birth place of Henrietta Szold, Babe Ruth, Edgar Allen Poe, Eubie Blake and “The Star Spangled Banner.” Whether Baltimore is your destination, or just a stopover cn route to our nation’s capital just an hour away, “Charm City” offers a lot to its 13 million visi tors each year. Today, the city is best known for its urban renais sance - a jazzy revival for a restrained and genteel city proud of its distinctive ethnic neighbor hoods. Baltimore’s potpourri of syna gogues serves the city’s almost 100,000 Jews. Reminders of a Jewish presence in the city’s core are the Lloyd Street and B’nai Israel synagogues, which, togeth er with the Jewish Historical Society of Maryland, comprise the Jewish Heritage Center in the heart of Baltimore’s old Jewish neighborhood. We enjoyed our visit to this wonderful historic area full of Jewish history. The Lloyd Street Synagogue is a Greek Revival building with some of its features intact since 1845 and others reconstructed. This synagogue is the third oldest in the United States. Lloyd Street Synagogue served the many German-speaking Jewish immi grants in Baltimore. The three Torah scrolls in the Ark there sur vived the Holocaust. The syna gogue has an early mikveh and a tum-of-the-century matzah oven. It also has a stained-glass window believed to be the first in the United States that incorporated a Star of David as a motif. Right * down the street, B’nai Israel is a Moorish-Gothic building dating to 1875. One of the synagogue’s most striking features is its hand- carved wooden ark. Unlike the Gary and Maxine Silverstein visit Stuart Attman’s Famous Kibbitz Room Lloyd Street Synagogue, B’nai Israel is a functioning synagogue that holds Shabbat and holiday services. We were invited to par take in services by many members entering the synagogue. Lloyd Street, by the way, runs into Lombard Street, whose unof ficial, and perhaps equally known, name is “Corned Beef Row.” We discovered Attman’s Delicatessen voted “Baltimore’s Best,” and experienced the best corned beef sandwiches that we’ve eaten in quite a while. It definitely rivals The Carnegie in New York City. Attman’s Deli has a long history in Baltimore and a great reputa tion for serving good food to the area for over 90 years. We loved all the wonderful old neighborhoods in Baltimore and spent time in Federal Hill. This is one of the city’s best-preserved neighborhoods filled with build ings that date to the 19th and early 20th centuries. A network of streets waits, lined with residential row-houses and reminders that Federal Hill participated in the growth industries that made the city a bustling international mar itime port, industrial leader and destination for hundreds of thou sands of immigrants. Allow about two hours for a walking tour of this historic area. We didn’t have too much free time but we did discover some fabulous places to dine. Regi’s American Bistro on Light Street serves eclectic American cuisine and was great. Don’t miss the homemade muffins quite a special treat. Dangerously Delicious Pies, also on Light Street, is amazing. A pie bakery that ships fresh pies all over the United States, this place has over 25 types of pies. It’s been written up in Bon Appetit and is definitely a force to reckon with. For a reasonable shipping fee, a fresh pie can be sent directly to your home. At the very heart of Federal Hill is the Cross Street Market. This old-fashioned fresh food market first opened in 1846. Tradition lives on as generation after generation work together selling everything from fresh pro duce to live blue crabs, from gour met foods to fresh-cut flowers. We loved our busy Baltimore experience and can’t wait to go back and spend more time in this great town.
