Jacob A. Levy's store and residence was at 15 West Main, Richmond, Virginia. He and his father, Abraham, were the prime movers in the successful petition of 1846 to the Richmond city council requesting exemptions for Jews from Sunday closing laws. Like all Orthodox Jews, retail merchants such as the Levys made great financial sacrifices to observe both the Jewish Sabbath and Christian Sunday.
