The stunning work combines illuminating essays by distinguished Jewish historians with 110 rare photographs to trace the community from its tentative beginnings in colonial Boston through its emergence in the twentieth century as one of the most influential and successful Jewish communities in America. The volume also presents fascinating information about Bostons synagogues and Jewish neighborhoods as well as the evolution of Jewish culture in Boston and the United States.Praise for the previous edition:The writing is engaging and lucid  and the superb  profuse illustrations enhance the text. While numerous community histories have been published  this volume is in a class by itself--and will set the standard for all future works of this kind.Library JournalFor those of us who grew up with anecdotes of what being a Jew was like in  say  the South End in 1910  or in Roxbury or Chelsea in 1920  this history  collected in one place for the first time  fills in the blanks. It gives us the context for our inherited folk tales.Alan Lupo  Boston Globe  Published in collaboration with the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Boston\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968067825717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300107870","price":76.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300107876.jpg?v=1770645707","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-jews-of-boston","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
