Epstein has said he grew up in south Brooklyn, in Coney Island. But according to records, he grew up in Sea Gate, a private community at the far western edge of Coney Island — New York City’s oldest gated community. With a picturesque wrap-around beach and suburban-seeming avenues, Sea Gate was, during Epstein’s childhood in the ’50s and ’60s, a middle-class haven.

Sea Gate has had a Jewish presence for almost a hundred years; Epstein’s family home appears to have been just across the street from Keneses Israel, Sea Gate’s oldest synagogue. The neighborhood has now become home to a large community of Orthodox Jews, including many Chabad and Satmar Hasidim.

Epstein’s parents were Seymour and Paula (Stolofsky) Epstein, children of immigrants from Europe, much of whose extended families would perish in the Holocaust, according to Patterson’s book. Seymour worked for his father’s house-wrecking company, and then for the New York City Parks Department. Paula worked as well.
