[quote=Anonymous]It's sort of a historical accident. Baltimore was a port of entry for many Jewish immigrants in the early 20th century. Since then, there has been a large Jewish population, both Orthodox and non-Orthodox. Once institutions were founded to cater to this population, they stayed put. Since the Orthodox are more dependent on the infrastructure of Jewish life, they tend to be less transient. The non-Orthodox part of our family that originated in Baltimore has largely spread out across the U.S. at this point as they pursued jobs, etc. The Orthodox part of the family is still in Baltimore and it would be hard for them to leave.
