Description:
|
| The Boston Jewish Experience: Reconnect to the
Tapestry, is an exhibit that is now open to the public and receiving
acclaimed reviews. The exhibit focuses on Boston Jewish life between
1850 and 1950 when Boston’s Jewish population grew and flourished in
primarily seven neighborhoods that evolved over time. Boston’s Jewish
population reached its height of 115,000 people with over 50 synagogues
in the 1930s. Boston’s Jews defined a new American identity that
balanced older traditions with new world expectations and
opportunities. Together they wove a tapestry of religious, educational,
and community activities based upon historical values, dreams, and
resources of the new world. They left a legacy of education,
philanthropy, and culture that continues to thrive and renew itself
today. |
Exhibit hours are Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday 11 AM - 5 PM and Sunday from 1 - 5 PM. Group tours are welcome
but we ask that you call Maxine Goldberg at 617-859-0796 to make
arrangements. | | 18 Phillips Street Boston MA | 617-523-2324
