Details:	We meet at the strictly kosher Milk Street Café, where you can choose to come early to have lunch or a snack before our tour. Ascend Beacon Hill’s “back side”, where Jews and blacks resided during the nineteenth century. Visit the historic Vilna Shul in the center of Beacon Hill and pass by some typical Jewish homes. See the West End House, a settlement house where West End Jews were provided social services and the Puffer House Cigar-Rolling Factory, typical of the work locales of Boston’s Jews. We’ll go through Boston’s impressive and impactful Holocaust Memorial in one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods and then conclude our tour at the entrance to the North End, which was a Jewish immigrant enclave before the arrival of newly arrived Italians transformed the area into a “Little Italy” around the turn of the century.
