New York City has one of the world's largest Jewish communities. Many of these people attained fame in various aspects of life, including the arts, politics, entertainment, and difference makers. Learn about the Jewish baseball player who was an American spy, the boy from a Bronx High School who changed his name and started a fashion empire, the crime boss who could have been head of General Motors, and many more.
