Brookline
Surrounded by Boston on three sides, Brookline is almost an island, more of a neighborhood than a separate city. Only the fact that Brookline won’t allow Boston to annex it allows it to remain a separate legal entity.
Brookline is a sleepy community. It’s neither where people go to party nor is it hip. It is, for the most part, a quiet residential area with a good park system and lots of green space. Many professors from the local schools call Brookline home, and the age of the average Brookline resident hovers around the low 40s.
Since the exodus from Mattapan at the end of the ’60s, Brookline has become the main Jewish neighborhood in the Boston area. A solitary but highly respected Theurgist-rabbi lives in Brookline. He keeps largely to himself and his community of Sleeper Jews, playing little part in the Awakened politics of Boston.
