Mochel and David Schloff in their store Meeting the Neighbors

Whether home was a farm, a small town, or the Twin Cities, Jews in the Upper Midwest often found themselves living alongside non-Jewish neighbors. Read about how some Jewish people remembered their neighbors.

You can help fill in the map. Email us with your family’s stories of trying to lead a Jewish life in a small town or rural area in Minnesota or the Dakotas. Or email us with stories that you remember about Jewish neighbors in this three-state region. We will post some of the stories.
