ABSTRACT
Young Jews move into productive citizenship during early adulthood was a constant of Jewish youth club activity in East London from the mid-1890s to the late 1970s. To create a club in the St George's district of the East End the area is referred to as the Hooligan District of the Jews. Sub-Committee set up to review the present state of the Brady Clubs and Settlement for consideration at a special Executive Meeting to be held on 4th March, 1958. A majority of histories examining Jewish settlement in East London point to an unfaltering decline in Jewish associational bodies after the Second World War. Youth seen as a substance of potential malleability, particular emphasis was placed on anglicizing Jewish children and adolescents, and a plethora of Jewish youth clubs were founded in the East End. The first boys' club was the Brady Street Club for Working Lads and this was quickly followed by Stepney Jewish Lads' Club.
