As Jefferson Davis’s righthand man, Judah P. Benjamin was the most politically powerful and important Jew of the 19th century – he was also the most widely hated one in the North and portions of the South. Yet, he was a United States Senator; the first Jew nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court; and served in the Confederacy as Attorney General, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State. Learn what happened when General Grant issued Order No. 11 expelling all Jews from the Treasury Department.
Rich Rosenthal is the President of the North Jersey Civil War Round Table and was with the pre-eminent New Jersey historian and author, John T.

This program will be held live at the Parsippany Library, 449 Halsey Road and also on zoom.

Did baseball really originate in Cooperstown, New York? Or did the game as we know it first start in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1846? This presentation will discuss the history of the baseball from its early days up until the current day. The lecture will also cover famous players such as Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Jackie Robinson as well as lesser known players such as Moses Fleetwood Walker, Old Hoss Radbourn, and Eddie Gaedel. We will also talk about the different rule changes throughout the years including the introduction of the pitching clock for the 2023 season. Following the discussion will be a Q & A session. It should be a fun virtual presentation on the traditional history of America’s Pastime along with some quirky baseball facts.
Jason Love has a history degree from West Chester University. He is the author of Slices of Americana: A Road Trip Through American Baseball History with Sunbury Press. He has given presentations on baseball history at libraries throughout New Jersey and has given lectures on the subject at Camden County College, Rosemont College, and Rutgers University.
