History of Jews on the East End with Karl Grossman

Karl Grossman of Sag Harbor whose paternal grandparents settled there more than a century ago, will examine the historical Jewish populations on the East End and their places of worship. Karl will recount the diversity of these communities – including the oldest congregation on Long Island, Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor, and Norman Jaffe’s architectural vision for the Jewish Center of the Hamptons – and discuss how their distinct characteristics influenced history.
