The Jewish Heritage Museum resumes joint programming at the new Jewish Community Center in Deal with a talk by Joseph Grabas on Jewish landowners in the Victorian Long Branch area. His talk, “Do Not Be Wise In Words – Be Wise In Deeds: Jewish Landholdings At The Jersey Shore” is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. Admission is free.  

Long Branch was one of the world's best known resorts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, attracting the famous and the notorious, from presidents to entertainers. Using his expertise in land records and the history they reveal, Mr. Grabas, Director of the Grabas Institute for Continuing Education and author of the book Owning New Jersey: Historic Tales of War, Property, Disputes and the Pursuit of Happiness, will talk about the lives of some of the more fascinating wealthy Jewish vacationers who frequented the Jersey Shore.
