Eric Lidji Presents: Jewish Pittsburgh in Five Roads
Sunday, September 18 at 10 a.m.
In-Person and On Zoom at www.templedavid.org/athome
The collapse of the Fern Hollow Bridge has highlighted the way a single piece of infrastructure can impact daily life. This presentation will examine the way local transportation corridors have influenced Jewish migration throughout Allegheny County. We’ll look at five pieces of infrastructure: the Pennsylvania Canal, Bigelow Boulevard, the Boulevard of the Allies, the Liberty Tunnel, and the Parkway East.
Eric Lidji is Director of the Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center and curates its website “The Jewish Encyclopedia of Western Pennsylvania,” and hosts its podcast “The Cornerstone.” He writes extensively about the Jewish history of Western Pennsylvania for local publications. He is the author of The Seventeenth Generation: The Lifework of Rabbi Walter Jacob and is a co-editor of the anthologies Her Deeds Sing Her Praise and Bound In The Bond Of Life.
