" Big " Jack Zelig ( May 13, 1888 – October 5, 1912 ) was a Jewish American New York City gangster and one of the last leaders of the Monk Eastman Gang.

Men before him – like Kid Twist, Monk Eastman, and others – were as pygmies to a giant.

The gang was allied to the Eastman Gang who were at almost constant war with the Five Points and Humpty Jackson Gangs between the late 1890s and early 1900s as they were incorporated into the Squab Wheelmen, an ally of Monk Eastman's organization.

Many Cherry Hillers such as Yakey-Yakes Brady, Monk Eastman, and Bill " The Brute " Sanger, formed sub-gangs of their own and feuded constantly over turf and power.

Ethnic Irish gangs, such as the Whyos, replaced the Chichesters, and fought against the newer, predominantly Jewish gangs, such as Monk Eastman's Eastman Coin Collectors.

The last of the Whyos would eventually be broken up by the Monk Eastman Gang, who would maintain control over Manhattan for the next decade.
