You know I had to give props to the King of Swing himself—Benny Goodman.

Jewish kid from Chicago, son of immigrants, picking up the clarinet at age 10—and by his 20s, he wasn’t just playing jazz… he was changing it.

Lillian Wald - #JAHM
Born in 1867 to a Jewish family, she didn’t just talk the talk — she went to the frontlines. She founded the Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side of NYC, bringing healthcare, schooling, and support to poor immigrant communities (a lot of them Jewish like us).
