BUZZ | HISTORY Jewish History in Charleston Celebrating Francis Salvador, martyr of the American Revolution By TIM LOWRY » Photos by JENNY PETERSON The ancient Festival of Lights, known as Hanukkah, commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. The eight days of Hanukkah take place in the month of Kislev (December) and commemorate the cleansing of the ancient Jewish holy site after its desecration by the Syrians around 165 BC. Among other stories and traditions, Jewish people all over the world retell the great exploits of the Maccabees who fought to defend Jewish religion and culture during a time of great oppression. Hanukkah celebrations have been a part of the cultural fabric of Charleston from nearly the very beginning with the first Jewish citizens arriving in the colonial city about 1695. With religious tolerance as a guiding principal in the founding documents, Jewish immigrants found the Colony of Carolina to be a haven from persecution in Europe. The growing indigo industry was one of several economic opportunities for Jewish entrepreneurs. One such indigo planter was Francis Salvador. Born in England, he immigrated to South Carolina in the 1770s to cultivate indigo on about 7,000 acres of backcountry land. Arriving in the colony just as political winds were whipping into a frenzy, Salvador would be caught up in a fight for freedom that might have reminded some of the ancient struggle of the Maccabees. By this time, the Jewish community of Charleston was prominent enough to have established the synagogue Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim (KKBE) and a Jewish burial ground of note in the city of Charleston. Jewish merchants enjoyed a vibrant religious life, a unique cultural identity and were regarded as productive citizens playing an important role in the life of the City of A memorial plaque in Washington Square on Broad and Meetings Streets honors Francis Salvador, a Jewish South Carolinian and American Revolution martyr. It reads in part: “Born an aristocrat, he became a democrat; an Englishman, he cast his lot with America; true to his ancient faith, he gave his life for new hopes of human liberty and understanding.” 28 | CharlestonLivingMag.com
