Jewish history and photographs: [January 2009] Orthodox congregation in Dermott in 1905, never officially chartered, drew worshippers from surrounding towns like Lake Village, McGehee, and Arkansas City among others. The congregation had about 17 families as members and as many as 75 people on the high holidays. In the 1940s, a Reform congregation, Meir Chayim, was founded in nearby McGehee. Jews in Dermott joined the new congregation. Orthodox Jews held an early minyan followed by a Reform service. Dermott Jews continue to be active in Meir Chayim; the congregation’s current president lives in Dermott. Temple history. [January 2009]
