The Jewish Metropolis: A Tour of Jewish New York Through Time and Space
Hosted By: Qesher
New York City is the greatest Jewish metropolis of all time, with Jews once constituting nearly 30 percent of the population and influencing the city’s culture, economy, and politics. From the establishment of the first community in 1654 to the present, New York Jews have pioneered religious reform, led the resurgence of traditionalist orthodoxy, and spanned the socio-economic spectrum from wealthy financiers to poor shop workers. This talk will offer a virtual tour of Jewish New York through time and space, from the 17th century to the 21st, and from the tenements of the Lower East Side to leafy Riverdale.
