This book was a dream of the Editor since the inception of the Tours and Talks Program at the 92nd Street Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association in 1978. The Editor was the Director of the Tours and Talk Program at the 92nd Street Y. Batia Plotch is a community organizer with an MSW. Batia is a true world traveler who was fluent in French, Hebrew, Spanish and English. As the head of the travel program at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y for 23 years, Batia led trips to virtually everywhere in the world and in 1999 when the Cuban government opened the country to tourism, Batia took groups to Cuba, a key to her success was knowing the best and most interesting sights, hotels, restaurants, artists, experts and finding the absolute best guides! Six intimate walking tours of New York's most historic neighborhoods, with maps, photos, and a select list of restaurants, hotels, and more. 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY) is a cultural and community center located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, at the corner of East 92nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Founded in 1874 as the Young Men's Hebrew Association, the 92nd Street Y (often simply called "the Y") transformed from a secular social club to a large arts and cultural center in the 20th century. In 1874, a group of German-Jewish professionals established the New York Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA). The founders were predominantly members of the Temple Shaaray Tefila, or synagogue, and New York's YMHA and others across the country grew out of existing Jewish congregations. The YMHA itself was a secular organization intended to serve as a social and literary fraternity. Officially incorporated on September 10, 1874, the YMHA would initially operate out of rented premises on 112 West 21st Street. A few years later, the organization would move to larger accommodations on 110 West 42nd Street; the Y also operated a downtown branch, where Emma Lazarus taught English to immigrants. This branch would later merge with other organizations to become the Educational Alliance. The YMHA primarily catered to Jews until the mid-1930s. The Y's director, William Kolodney, argued that the arts were central to the Jewish religious tradition of learning for learning's sake. While the board was concerned that this shift would transform the Y into a secular institution and harm its finances, Kolodney argued for not catering to the lowest common denominator in pursuit of crowds, and to keep charges minimal so that activities were within reach of salaried workers. Kolodney opened the Y's concert hall and events to nonmembers; its excellent acoustics helped land the Y on the map as a performing arts venue. The Y opened an arts center, jewelry center, dance center, poetry center, and nursery school throughout the 1930s. 75% of revenue was spent on 25% of programs. In 1945, the YMHA merged with the Young Women's Hebrew Association and became the YM-YWHA. In the 1960s, the Clara de Hirsch Home for Working Girls merged with the Y, and a new building on the southern part of the block was constructed to house it and new spaces for programming and the arts. In 1972 the YM-YWHA rebrand. Glenn Wright (Photographer) (illustratore).
