Traveling in a vintage Cadillac, filmmaker Brian Bain, a
third-generation Jew from New Orleans, takes a 4,200-mile road trip through the American South. Bain discovers a
vibrant regional culture and history infused with both Jewish and Southern roots. This film helps set the stage for our second One Book I One Community selection. Guests enjoyed the film, refreshments, and heard more about One More River and Jewish life below the Mason Dixon Line.

Post-screening discussion was led by Rabbi Capers C. Funnye, Jr. of Beth Shalom B'nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation in Chicago.
