The Jews of 'S-Gravendeel/Puttershoek built a synagogue of their
own in 1811. Nonetheless, they were not recognized as
an independant local community or Bijkerk until 1867.
Prior to then, they had officially belonged to the Jewish community
at Oud-Beijerland.
The Jewish community of 'S-Gravendeel/Puttershoek maintained its
own burial society but, after 1893, buried its dead in the Jewish
cemetery in nearby Strijen. Despite the connection
between the two locales, 'S-Gravendeel/Puttershoek was placed
within the jurisdiction of the Jewish community at Dordrecht
rather than that at Strijen, following the formal disbanding of the
'S-Gravendeel/Puttershoek community in 1920.
