Biographical / Historical
Norman “Norm” Henry Finkelstein was born in 1941 in Chelsea, MA, where he also grew up. His mother was Mollie (née Fox, of present-day Moldova) and Sydney Finkelstein (of Kilikiyev, Ukraine). After his Chelsea start, Norm was a teacher, librarian, and writer. He had three children, Jeffrey, Robert, and Risa, with his wife Rosalind, and today, lives in Framingham, Mass. In his “Jewish Neighborhood Voices'' oral history, Norm discusses his close-knit, religiously observant family; how the Jewish character of Chelsea impacted Jews and non-Jews alike; his long affiliation with Hebrew College’s Prozdor program; and how Chelsea has changed from his childhood.
