It's not the first time Gershenowitz has set out in search of long-gone Jewish settlements. And he's convinced others to help him in his quest to uncover clues to the Jewish history in southern New Jersey. One of those friends is Jim Hoopes of Glassboro, who recalls helping Gershenowitz discover a small Jewish settlement in Salem County. Gershenowitz has meticulously kept detailed notes on the lost hamlet of Ziontown. It was just another disappointment.
Life is filled with disappointments.
