Reply to comment by 76vibrochamp in TIL The Jewish mafia was nicknamed the Kosher Nostra by therealbeth

Yes, Jewish American gangsters worked with and for the Italian Mafia. Both groups were treated as "others" and they banded together. The nickname "Kosher Nostra" was given to the Jews who worked with the Italians because it's a funny play on "Cosa Nostra."
