Worshippers gathered for the Jewish New Year in 1907 are the subject of this New York City view, taken by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that sold pictures to newspapers and magazines. Rosh Hashanah falls in early autumn and opens the High Holy Days, a season of prayer and reflection. By 1907, New York had one of the largest Jewish populations in the world, many of them recent immigrants from Eastern Europe, and holiday services were a visible part of city life. The caption details come from older card records that were never independently verified.
