The Chief Rabbi’s Funeral: The Untold Story of America’s Largest Antisemitic Riot

On July 30, 1902, tens of thousands of mourners lined the streets of New York’s Lower East Side to bid farewell to the city’s chief rabbi, Jacob Joseph. All went well until the procession reached Grand and Sheriff Streets, where scraps of steel, iron bolts, and scalding water rained down and injured hundreds of mourners, becoming the single largest antisemitic incident in American history.
