Forced to flee the brutal pogroms of Europe; Jewish immigrants sought refuge in the beauty of Bostons North Shore. Drawing on their artisan skills; many found work in the tanneries of Peabody and the shoe factories of Lynn; while other enterprising Jews established their own businesses in Salem and Beverly- from butcher shops and groceries to newspapers. Alongside fellow members of the Jewish Historical Society of the North Shore; Alan Pierce has carefully assembled a collection of personal histories from generations of Jewish families. Celebrating the rich flavors of Jewish culture; these accounts capture familiar faces; such as renowned athlete Herb Brenner; and recognizable landmarks like the Kernwood Country Club and the Dolphin Yacht Club; innovative establishments open to all regardless of race or religion. With entrepreneurial spirit; a little determination and plenty of faith; the North Shores storied Jewish communities have etched enduring marks on its streets and in its synagogues.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Kindle Version for SchoolBy Ms. HazardI was required to get this book as a part of my college songwriting class. It is an easy read and is well-written. It is pretty straightforward and specific to the music business industry. I think it is a great beginners guide; as well as intermediate. I used this on my Kindle phone version because it was more cost-effective and the paperback is fairly large and I hate lugging around books all day! I wouldnt have bought it unless it were required.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
