On the evening of Tuesday, February 21st, Bowdoin’s Jewish community was lucky enough to experience a brief presentation by Dr. Harris Gleckman, the Director of the Documenting Maine Jewry Project. Having spent a number of years studying Maine’s unique Jewish history, Dr. Gleckman spoke specifically about the Summit Springs Hotel, a Jewish resort alternative to the Poland Springs Hotel, as well as the region’s larger Jewish history. An enthusiastic Q&A session with students, faculty, and members of the greater community followed. Many thanks again to Dr. Gleckman for presenting!
