Jewish Neighborhood Voices
New at the JHC! Explore “Jewish Neighborhood Voices,” an online exhibit based on oral histories with individuals growing up in three historically Jewish neighborhoods of Greater Boston in the 1920s through the 1950s.
The holiday of Passover is often referred to as a “festival of freedom,” but what do American Jews mean by freedom? Dr. Jessica Cooperman uses materials from the JHC collections to explore some of the many ways that American Jews have interpreted the meaning of Passover in the 20th century.
