Chapter 16Sag HarborIncluding Amagansett, East Hampton, Shelter Island, and Southampton261The history of the Jewish people is fraught with examples of infighting. On Long Island in the post–World War II era, when synagogues were sprouting up all over Nassau and Suffolk counties, it was not uncommon to find individuals from within organizing under a different agenda who ultimately split off and formed their own congregation. The earliest example of a rivalry between Jewish factions in the same town occurred in Sag Harbor beginning in the latter part of the nineteenth century between immigrants from Russia and those from Hungary.
