Synopsis

The Torah. The family. The kiddush. The joy. In Jewish Neighborhoods in California: History and Development, Keith Warwick amplifies the essence of Judaism as experienced in California s historic Jewish neighborhoods. Both memory and history, this book contains facts, images, inspiration and a little of what the author calls poetry. There have been, are, and will be Jewish neighborhoods in California, which is home to over a million Jews. These range from Oakland's Jewish Community Center, which was active in West Oakland until the 1960s, to several Jewish enclaves in San Francisco. Los Angeles is a national Center of Judaism. Warwick traces its development over time. The city's Fairfax District contains only a sliver of the Jewry that it held in the early 1900s, while the Pico Robertson Jewish neighborhood is actively growing and is currently home to a growing community of Orthodox Jews. This book captures their vibrant history and changing present.
