That’s Entertainment: Jewish Stars of the Lower East Side

Hosted By: The Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy (LESJC)

The Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy presents a tour of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, once home to more than a million Jews between 1881 and 1924 and historically the most crowded and most Jewish area on earth. The route traces the neighborhood roots of the actors, singers, comedians, and tummlers who started out in the tenements before achieving fame on Broadway and in Hollywood.
