June 2: Jewish East Boston
Discover East Boston’s rich history and dynamic present by exploring the neighborhood of Maverick Square, East Boston’s oldest commercial center. Trace its roots back to Noddle’s Island and learn how the East Boston Company created a planned community for immigrants that became today’s vibrant and diverse East Boston.
July 14: Jewish North End
Few Jews lived in Boston in the 17th and 18th centuries, and a permanent Jewish community didn’t establish itself here until the 1840s. The wave of migration from Eastern Europe of the late 19th century greatly enlarged the city’s Jewish community, and many of the new immigrants of this period moved to the North End. This tour will explore some of the stories of Boston’s Jewish experience from the 17th century through the early 20th century.
