Russian Jewish New York: Traveling Back in Time on the Lower East Side with Yigal Kotler
We embark on a walking tour of the Lower East Side of 100 years ago, the period of Jewish emigration from Russia in the late 19th/early 20th century. We will visit historical sights, discuss old documents and photographs, meet Rabbis and gangsters, tailors and revolutionaries, intellectuals and beggars. Together we will attempt to recreate the atmosphere of that time, and learn about the everyday life of the immigrants, their hardships and hopes, their failures and achievements.

Мы отправляемся в пешеходное путешествие во времени в Нижний Истсайд на сто лет назад, в эпоху еврейской эмиграции из России конца 19, начала 20 вв. В этом путешествии мы будем посещать исторические места, обсуждать старые документы и фотографии, встречаться с раввинами и гангстерами, портными и революционерами, интеллектуалами и нищими. Мы вместе постараемся воссоздать атмосферу того времени и узнать о повседневной жизни эмигрантов, их страданиях и надеждах, провалах и достижениях.
