A History of Jewish People in Scarsdale
Tuesday, June 23, 2:00–3:30 PM
Free for All!
Why did Scarsdale become an attractive destination for Jewish families? How did its development differ from that of neighboring communities? What social and institutional barriers did Jewish residents face along the way?
In this FREE lecture, Scarsdale Village historian Jordan Copeland will trace 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, this talk will present a nuanced account of both achievement and adversity, illuminating how Jews have become an integral part of Scarsdale’s history.
