A sentimental journey to historic Jewish sites and neighborhoods - from downtown to Maxwell Street, Lawndale, Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, and Wicker Park. We will stop in for a visit at the former KINS synagogue on Independence Blvd. (now an African American church) and the Garfield Park Conservatory. We will take a short walk through the new Maxwell Street Market (on Desplaines). Along the way we will pass the former Jewish People's Institute (JPI), Mount Sinai Hospital, theaters, schools such as Marshall and Manley, and places associated with famous Jewish residents. Tour guide - Dr. Irving Cutler is the author of The Jews of Chicago: From Shtetl to Suburb and Chicago's Jewish West Side.
