Delta Jews (1998)

The Mississippi Delta -- known for blues, catfish and much more -- may not seem like the most obvious setting for a long-standing Jewish population, but for more than a century, this community has thrived, forging a unique American identity. This engaging documentary explores the Delta Jews, who struggle to hand down age-old Jewish traditions in the heavily Christian stronghold that they call home.
