The influence of the Jewish community on Charm City is undeniable with numerous synagogues, the Baltimore Jewish Times, and The Jewish Museum of Maryland as evidence. Experienced columnist Gilbert Sandler has brought together a collection of some of his most memorable articles from the Baltimore Jewish Times on the culture and history of Jewish Baltimore. From the Flu Epidemic of 1918 and the corner drug store to Jewish judges and a Rabbis' protest, these vignettes capture both a sense of nostalgia for times gone by and the struggle of a community.
