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.

Join local author Jennifer Manocherian in conversation with Jimin Han for a discussion of her new mystery novel featuring the smart, endearing, occasionally crabby older protagonist Gertrude Sidenstricker on Wednesday July 1 at 7 pm at Scarsdale Library.

Gertrude Sidenstricker is a loner whose quiet, carefully controlled life is disrupted by the discovery of a long-buried secret from her past. Drawn into an unexpected journey, she is forced to step far outside her comfort zone and confront truths that challenge her sense of identity and belonging. As she navigates unfamiliar places and encounters new people, Gertrude must decide how much of her world she is willing to upend in pursuit of answers—and whether the truth will set her free or change her forever.

Copies of And No One Knew will be available for sale courtesy of Bronx River Books and for signing by the author during this event.

Light refreshments will be served.
