Details

Youse wise guys wanna learn some history about the fascinating world of the American Jewish Gangster? Never heard of a Jewish Gangster? Hop on to our meet and after a brief Shabbat ceremony from the comfort of your home, Rabbi Barry Fineman will moderate a presentation and discussion on the American Jewish Mafia with author Harriet Grayson.

Learn how an ordinary man became involved in a criminal network. Familiar names from the era are part of the story. There’s the Lower East Side contingent of Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel and Lucky Luciano. Goldy’s old pals, The Brownsville Boys, are in the novel, as well as the mentor to Lansky and Luciano, Arnold Rothstein, the notorious gambler who fixed the 1919 World Series.
