These activities flourished during Prohibition, as many became deeply entrenched in bootlegging, gambling, and murder. Learn about the so-called “Kosher Nostra” with Robert Rockaway, author of But He Was Good to His Mother: The Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters and Joe Kraus, author of The Kosher Capones: A History of Chicago’s Jewish Gangsters. Moderated by Geoff Schumacher, Vice President of Exhibits and Programs at The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement in Las Vegas. This is a virtual event.

A suggested $10 donation enables the Museum to present programs like this one. InterestedShareMore Upcoming EventsAdd an eventPostFeatured EventDec8Fine Art Auctions Dec 7 & 8 | Jewelry | Art | Silver | Décor | Furniture Friday, 10:00 amNew York City, NYInterested (1)ShareFeatured EventDec9Advent Hope: Singing a Loving, Thriving World into Being with Ana HernándezSaturday, 10:00 amEast Village, NYInterestedShareLocal EventDec10Holiday FestivalSunday, 4:00 pmLower East Side-Chinatown, NYInterestedShareLocal EventDec12Buying Into Brooklyn | December 2023Tuesday, 5:00 pmGowanus-Red Hook, NYInterestedShareLocal EventDec12Pilates Mat at Abrons Arts CenterTuesday, 7:00 pmLower East Side-Chinatown, NYInterestedShareLocal EventDec172023 Red Hook Holiday MarketSunday, 1:00 pmGowanus-Red Hook, NYInterested (1)ShareShow MoreFeatured EventsDec 8, 2023 Fine Art Auctions Dec 7 & 8 | Jewelry | Art | Silver | Décor | Furniture Dec 9, 2023 Advent Hope: Singing a Loving, Thriving World into Being with Ana Hernández+ Add your eventFeatured Classifieds+ Add your classified Find out what’s happening in yourcommunity on the Patch appCorporate InfoAbout PatchCareersPartnershipsAdvertise on PatchSupportFAQsContact PatchCommunity GuidelinesPosting InstructionsTerms of UsePrivacy Policy© 2023 Patch Media.
