About this talk
Join us as we explore the unique and rich history of the Jewish community of the Upper West Side in New York. The neighborhood is a "powerhouse" of iconic Synagogues, renowned Jewish schools, multiple cultural and educational institutions and, of course, great Jewish eateries. We will visit many of these sites and review the patterns of migration that brought Jews to this special neighborhood from the Lower East Side and in later years from Europe as Jewish refugees began fleeing the war. We will also discuss how this special community continues to shape the identity of American Jewry to this day.
