{"product_id":"jewish-milwaukee-martin-hintz-9780738539720","title":"Jewish Milwaukee","description":"The Jewish community has a distinguished heritage in Milwaukee, and Jewish (c)migr(c)s were an integral part of the pioneer fabric of the area. The 1840s saw the first large influx of Jews to Wisconsin, primarily to urban Milwaukee. They quickly became leaders in business, politics, and the arts. Milwaukee's Congregation Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun, founded in 1856, was one of the state's first congregations and is still going strong. Over the years, social clubs, arts\u003cbr\u003eassociations, women's benevolent societies, and political organizations were formed. Milwaukee's distinguished residents have included Victor Louis Berger, who was America's first Socialist congressman, and Golda Meir, who became prime minister of Israel. Today Sen. Herb Kohl, owner of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team, is proud of his city ties. The story of Milwaukee's Jewish community offers a view of an intense group of citizens who cared about their hometown and their ancestral homeland, as well\u003cbr\u003eas civic and social causes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Hintz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738539724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738539720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.94w x 0.34d","brand":"Martin Hintz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925784527103,"sku":"9780738539720","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3d7b0d1f-6cae-480f-81f5-95c8df198287.jpg?v=1681079337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-milwaukee-martin-hintz-9780738539720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
