Between the two, Boro Park\u2019s young males do not go wanting for intensive Jewish education. Our two girls\u2019 schools\u2014the Shulamith School for Girls and the Beth Jacob of Boro Park are both doing a tremendous job for the distaff side of our younger generation . . .<\/p>\n<p>The study of Torah is not limited to our Torah institutions, however. Our synagogues are not merely Houses of Worship; they are veritable Houses of Study. The Young Israel of Boro Park is one of the few synagogues in the country which sponsors the \u201cDaf Yomi\u201d\u2014the daily study of a \u201cblat Gemorah\u201d instituted by the late Lubliner Rav . . . .<\/p>\n<p>Most of the Jewish inhabitants of Boro Park have been in this country for many years. A large proportion of them were born here. All of the synagogues feature sermons or classes in English. The Jewish institutions sponsor ball games, picnics and card games. The fine ultra-modern dress shops, beauty parlors and haberdasheries on 13<sup>th<\/sup> Avenue do a thriving business. Boro Park is, indeed, as fine a representation of an American-Jewish community as you can find on these shores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look back at Jewish life in Boro Park in the mid-twentieth century<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":18639,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[188,16],"tags":[464,466,463,465],"class_list":["post-18590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-our-archives","category-history","tag-1950s","tag-archives","tag-boro-park","tag-jewish-life","issues-summer-20205780"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
