In 1908, a Yiddish newspaper summoned the Jewish immigrant women of New York's Lower East Side to unite—not to start a revolution but rather to observe the Sabbath. The Shabes Zhurnal, an effort led by Jewish rabbis and communal leaders, was chagrined at the blows immigration and adaptation had imposed on Jewish families and homed in on Jewish women as potential saviors. This illustrated talk, which draws on cookbooks, memoirs, and advice columns, looks at the revolution of immigration and Americanization and how immigrant women creatively grappled with adaptation.

Applications will be accepted through July 31, 2020. Check your eligibility and apply here. - Every year, the JCC serves over 6,000 people in crisis. This year, that number will grow as Staten Islanders experience hardships related to COVID-19. Without the help of the JCC, many people would not have food, legal services, health insurance, mental health services, and other critical services. We want to be able to continue to provide these services to anyone who needs them, but we need your help. Donate to our Families in Need campaign here.
