  The Jazz Age of the 1920s is remembered for illegal liquor, innovative music and dance styles, and burgeoning ideas of social equality. It was also the period during which second-generation Jews began to emerge as a significant demographic in New York. This book examines the growing cultural visibility of Jewish life amid this vibrant scene.
