Sunday, June 7 | 6-7 PM on Zoom

Join Professor Rebecca Kobrin for a presentation on "How Jewish Immigrants Reshaped America." Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, millions of Jews, along with other Europeans, decided to uproot themselves from their places of birth and seek their fortunes in new homes around the world. This decision created new cultural and demographic centers for world Jewry, particularly in the New World, where by 1920, New York City represented the densest urban concentration of Jews anywhere in the world. How did these Jewish migrants reshape America? This lecture will explore these questions as it considers the role migration played in reshaping Jewish life along with American culture, politics and daily life.

Presented by The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History and 70 Faces Media.
