The Jews of Long Island 1705-1918 by Brad Kolodny tells how Jewish communities were established and developed east of New York City. It includes stories of peddlers, farmers, and factory workers as well as successful merchants and wealthy industrialists like the Guggenheims. Archival material, including census records, newspaper accounts, never before published photos, and personal family histories illuminate Jewish life and experiences during these formative years. With over 4400 names of people who lived in Nassau and Suffolk counties prior to the end of World War 1, The Jews of Long Island is an exciting read on the foundation of what has become the fourth largest Jewish community in the United States.

Reading to culminate with a hands-on food preparation class as well as a book discussion with Mr. Kolodny.

Rumrunners in Suffolk County: Tales from Liquor Island by noted Southold historian Amy Folk takes us on quite the journey. Nicknamed Liquor Island, Long Island was a rumrunners paradise during Prohibition. With its proximity to major markets and coastal communities, Suffolk County was full up on illegal liquor. Smugglers would bring cases from offshore and would secretly hide the liquor in local sheds and garages. Coded messages often arranged sales and logistics. Quiet towns experienced violence as locals became entangled in dangerous liaisons with bootleggers.
