During Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933), many Jewish immigrants, particularly those involved in the brewing and distilling industries, faced significant economic challenges as their businesses were forced to close or go underground. Additionally, some Jewish organized crime figures capitalized on the illegal alcohol trade, leading to a complex association between Jewish communities and the crime syndicates that flourished during this time. While Prohibition aimed to curb alcohol consumption, it inadvertently created opportunities for some Jewish individuals to gain wealth and influence in the shadow economy. Nonetheless, the overall impact was mixed, with both economic hardship and illicit opportunities shaping the experience of Jews during this era.
