Author Talk: Scott Seligman, The Great Kosher Meat War of 1902 
Tuesday, March 9, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM

On May 15, 1902, 3,000 Jewish women quietly took up positions on the Lower East Side. Convinced by the latest jump in kosher meat prices that they were being gouged, they assembled, intent on shutting down every kosher butcher shop in their neighborhood. Join us to learn little-known details about the twin stories of female immigrants who discovered their collective consumer power, and of the Beef Trust, the midwestern cartel that conspired to keep kosher meat prices high despite efforts to curtail its nefarious practices. Led by Scott Seligman, Author and Historian
