Prohibition and Maryland with Rabbi Harry Karp

The Volstead Act created more problems than solutions-fueling crime and costly enforcement. How did Prohibition affect Maryland? Did local hotels and speakeasies operate in secret? How did Jewish communities obtain wine for ritual use, and what happened to churches and brewers whose livelihoods depended on alcohol? Join us as we explore gangsters, workarounds, and the real local impact of Prohibition in our state and city.
