Opening Doors: The Unlikely Alliance Between the Irish and the Jews in America
Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning
The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning presents a session with renowned historian Dr. Hasia Diner exploring the remarkable relationship that developed between Eastern European Jewish and Irish immigrants in America. Drawing on the research behind her acclaimed book “Opening Doors,” Dr. Diner traces how the two communities forged relationships in neighborhoods, classrooms, workplaces, and political organizations. The session considers how one immigrant community helped another find its footing in America and what this alliance can teach us about immigration, identity, and American Jewish life.
