How did the work of northern Jewish philanthropists and activists complicate the lives of southern Jews, a group of women and men who since the eighteenth century found a way to live with the dictates of regional life? Southern Jews prospered and experienced integration, although not without occasional challenges, because they learned to fit into the South's racial etiquette. What happened when northern Jews with different concerns upset the status quo?Speaker: Professor Hasia R.
