Join us as Brad discusses his book, Seeking Sanctuary: 125 Years of Synagogues on Long Island.

Brad Kolodny provides an important history, inventory, and photo archive of the synagogues of Long Island. He has identified 219 active synagogues on Long Island (not counting Brooklyn and Queens), of which 166 are in Nassau County and 53 in Suffolk County. Additionally, there are 67 still-standing former synagogue buildings, 44 in Nassau and 23 in Suffolk. This volume offers a look at all these synagogues and in so doing traces the history of Long Island’s Jewish religious life.

Books will be available for purchase and signing following the presentation.
