Service Description

The most famous Jewish neighborhood ever was probably the Lower East Side of Manhattan.  From 1881 to 1924 more than a million Jews piled into this section of NYC making it historically the most crowded and most Jewish area on earth. MANY noted people were born and lived here - politicians, writers, radical thinkers, reformers and religious leaders.  The ones we probably remember most however are the entertainers.  The actors, singers, comedians and tummlers who started out in the tenements, but became famous in Hollywood, on television, on the stage and in the concert halls.
