Monday April 6 from 7 - 8:45pm at Scarsdale Library

In A History of Jewish People in Scarsdale, Village Historian Jordan Copeland traces the evolution of Jewish life in Scarsdale from a small, localized presence with limited civic participation to full integration and leadership within the community’s social, civic, and cultural institutions. Placing Scarsdale within the broader historical experience of Jews in America, the presentation examines how national and global forces shaped local outcomes.

The program explores why Scarsdale became an attractive destination for Jewish families, how its development differed from that of neighboring communities, and the social and institutional barriers Jewish residents faced along the way. Drawing on original research, the talk offers a nuanced account of both achievement and adversity, illuminating how Jews have become an integral part of Scarsdale’s history.
