    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Jewish People and History - Ancient and Modern, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Does anyone know what a "Jewish New Year Parade" is? As far as I know there is no such thing, and a google search got me nowhere (except back here)! Maybe they mean Tashlikh or maybe Jews at a parade on 1 January!?

    i have never heard of this before, either... very curious... i will do some hunting when i can, too...
  • Ari Hahn said:
    Probably a misnomer. The photographer or person cataloging it noted many people dressed up and walking in the same direction (to the synagogue) and called it a parade.

    Building is too windowed for a warehouse - maybe a factory or even a school. There's a wall plaque just before the right border; maybe with sufficient resolution it could be read. Agree that 'parade' is misnomer/misinterpretation, but Sept 12, 1912 was indeed the beginning of Rosh Hashonah. They must have been on the way to services..

    Guests at a New York City costume party, January, 1914. In 1914, Rea Irvin already had a reputation as a New York bon vivant. A comic artist for Red Book magazine, in that year he illustrated numerous Red Book stories written by the humorist Ellis Parker Butler (who is now best remembered for his story, "Pigs Is Pigs.) Before WWI, Irvin also contributed a steady stream of illustrations to the old "Life" magazine, a humor weekly. Irvin in 1925 became the first art editor of a new magazine, "The New Yorker," for which he designed the first cover, a portrait of Eustace Tilley, the supercilious Regency fop who became the magazine's symbol. Tilley's pose is parodied here: Rea Irvin's Wikipedia bio: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rea_Irvin
