Jewish communities in New York towards the beginning of the 20th century were relatively isolated and insular places. The majority of Jews in New York were relatively poor and lived in slums in the Lower East Side. They also tended to be relatively religious. Non-religious Jews tended to leave the city and go to the Rustbelt. The community also tended to be Yiddish-speaking, with its own Yiddish-language newspapers and labor organizations. Many Jews in this period worked in the apparel industry as seamsters.
