Our popular Southern Jewish Voices program showcases stories about Jewish life in Birmingham and around the South. The program, made possible in part by a grant from the Birmingham Jewish Federation, is presented through a series of interviews conducted in front of a live audience and includes a complimentary lunch. Videos of all sessions are archived online.
Season four will continue into the new year on January 21 with a conversation with Holocaust survivor Jack Schniper, who was born during World War II in a work camp in Ukraine before coming to Birmingham. RSVP here.
