Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of the Executive Committee's activities and the reports of various sub committees within the first year after the establishment of the Kehillah, the Jewish communal organization of New York City. The Kehillah sought to bring together a Jewish community that, as a product of immigration and disaggregated across New York, lacked unity. This book provides a snapshot of the Kehillah's efforts to effect that unity through organizing religious activities, social and philanthropic work, educational programs, and advocacy. It also includes the keynote speech delivered by the Executive Committee chair at the Kehillah's first annual convention. Together, these reports provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives, concerns, and aspirations of the Jewish community in New York at the turn of the 20th century, and touches on the challenges and opportunities for a diverse group of people striving to define and maintain their identity as both Jews and New Yorkers.
