Bruchim Haba'im Le Meriden (ברוכים הבאים למרידן) The History of Meriden’s Jewish Population

Continuing our series on immigration to Meriden, this lecture by Ruth Borsuk explores the history of Jewish immigration to Meriden, tracing the journey of families who arrived primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from Eastern Europe in search of religious freedom and economic opportunity and the ways they contributed to the city’s cultural and economic growth and highlights how the Jewish community shaped Meriden’s identity while preserving their traditions in a rapidly changing America.
