Synopsis

“The Jewish Metropolis gives readers a fascinating whirlwind tour of Jewish New York from the 1620s to the 2020s. Every essay is enlightening, erudite, and thoroughly enjoyable.” —Tyler Anbinder, author of City of Dreams: The 400-Year Epic History of Immigrant New York

The Jewish Metropolis: New York City from the 17th to the 21st Century covers the entire sweep of the history of the largest Jewish community of all time. It provides an introduction to many facets of that history, including: 

• The ways in which waves of immigration shaped New York’s Jewish community
• Jewish cultural production in English, Yiddish, Ladino, and German
• New York’s contribution to the development of American Judaism
• Jewish interaction with other ethnic and religious groups
• And Jewish participation in the politics and culture of the city as a whole

 Each chapter is written by an expert in the field, and includes a bibliography for further reading. The Jewish Metropolis captures the diversity of the Jewish experience in New York.
