MARGATE - The Lost Shuls of Atlantic City explores the once thriving Jewish community of Absecon Island, where over two dozen synagogues stood over the past century. While a few have endured, many were short-lived in serving niche Jewish communities before fading into obscurity. These forgotten synagogues represent a unique and overlooked chapter in Atlantic City's history.
