West Rogers Park, officially designated by the city of Chicago as the West Ridge community area, is home to the midwest’s largest Haredi, or strict Orthodox, Jewish community (some members view the term “ultra-Orthodox” as disparaging.) It’s known for the dark suits, fedoras, and beards, or headscarves and long dresses, worn by many adherents. By some estimates, Jews of various stripes make up about one in three of the 77,000-plus residents of West Ridge. The area also includes vibrant Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Assyrian communities.
Nowadays West Rogers Park’s strict Orthodox community is primarily located between Peterson Avenue and Howard Street, and concentrated west of California Avenue. That boundary gave its name to neighborhood native Adam Langer’s 2004 memoir “Crossing California.”

Highlighting: “Mr. Reiss Goes Into Politics” by Marion Reiss. Independently published. 2020. English. Soft covered. 188 pages. ISBN: 978-965-7041-23-9 (paperback) ISBN: 978-965-7041-24-6 (ebook)
There is a great amount of charm in “Mr. Reiss Goes Into Politics,” written by Marion Reiss as a tribute to her late husband Harry, z”l. The author wrote the book with the intention that her children, Wendy Schindler, a Teaneck resident; Linda Wolicki, a resident of Israel; and Rabbi Yona Reiss of Chicago, and grandchildren remember their father and grandfather’s amazing life journey. This journey took him from being an ordinary citizen, teaching as an adjunct professor of political science at Rockland Community College, into the throes of local community politics from a grassroots perspective. His reputation as a soft-spoken, kind and honest man followed him wherever he went.
