They built its clothing industry and constructed huge swaths of apartment buildings. New York Jews helped to make the city the center of the nation's publishing industry and shaped popular culture in music, theater, and the arts. With a strong sense of social justice, a dedication to civil rights and civil liberties, and a belief in the duty of government to provide social welfare for all its citizens, New York Jews influenced the city, state, and nation with a new wave of social activism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn turn, New York transformed Judaism and stimulated religious pluralism, Jewish denominationalism, and contemporary feminism.
