It Happened Right Here

Our ongoing series of short documentary films explore the early days of Jewish life and activities in the Upper Midwest. Launched in 2020, we hope this will be a continuing exploration of the places we lived, and the things we did. Look forward to more regions and topics explored in 2023.
