{"product_id":"jewish-life-in-akron-arlene-cohen-rossen-9781531623654","title":"Jewish Life in Akron","description":"In the mid-1800s, many Jewish families joined the western expansion and emigrated from Germany to Akron, a canal town that also had an inviting countryside. They sought economic security and religious freedom--a new start in a new town. But it was not an easy life. They organized their Jewish community into cultural and religious groups, and by the 20th century, their efforts attracted Central and Eastern European Jews with differing lifestyles. In 1929, the Akron Jewish Center opened and provided a place for all of the diverse Jewish groups in Akron to gather. It also played an enormous role in raising awareness of the richness of Jewish life in the Akron community. Jewish Life in Akron celebrates 150 years of Jewish culture, family, business, and organizational life through vintage images, many never before published, and supporting history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arlene Cohen Rossen, Beverly Magilavy Rose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531623654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531623654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Arlene Cohen Rossen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985529503999,"sku":"9781531623654","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebdca3b0-61f2-46a1-a78c-5974f6f9c834.jpg?v=1683278065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-life-in-akron-arlene-cohen-rossen-9781531623654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
