The Hallowed Grounds of Jewish Denver - Jewish Cemeteries with Phil Goodstein

About This Program

From the time of the Pikes Peak gold rush, Jews have been part and parcel of the Mile High City. They have participated in all aspects of the community. Besides business leaders there have been labor agitators. Physicians, musicians, restaurateurs, dreamers, schemers, and scoundrels have all been part of the mix. Phil, author of Denver Jewish Cemeteries, will share his insights into the rich history of Jewish cemeteries. Along with him, we will dive into the fascinating stories and traditions that have shaped these sacred grounds.
