Pioneer Jews: Resilience and Reinvention in the Old West Lunch & Learn
- Date: Saturday, November 9, 2024
- Time: 11:30am–1:30pm
Part II: Jewish Communal Leaders with Cantor Jonathan Friedmann
Learn what happened when European Jews escaped economic despair and social immobility to start new lives in the American Wild West. Free from systemic antisemitism, Jewish immigrants peddled their wares, traded with Native Americans, established multi-generational businesses, founded hospitals and civic institutions, held public office, founded cities, and gave us a woman cantor and “lady rabbi”—all during the nineteenth century!
Cost: $15
