The Immigrant Jewish
Experience in America
7:45 p.m., June 13.
Three million Jews migrated
to the United States
from the 1820s to 1920s,
giving rise to one of the
largest Jewish communities
in the world. Although
that number dwindled
after restrictive immigration
laws hit the books
early in the 20th century,
Jewish (and other) immigrants
continued to come
— some legally, some not.
Today, America is home
to Jews from around the
world. Join historn Dr.
Tony Michels to explore
the odyssey of American
Jews through the immigrant
experience in this
