Topic: 

The Jews of Long Island 1705-1918

Speaker: Brad Kolodny

The Jews of Long Island 1705-1918 tells the story of how Jewish communities were established and developed east of New York City, from Great Neck to Greenport and Cedarhurst to Sag Harbor. Archival material including census records, newspaper accounts, never-before-published photos, and personal family histories illuminate Jewish life and experiences during these formative years. Come learn about the fascinating history of those who laid the foundation for what has become the fourth largest Jewish community in the United States today.
