SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: "Shalom Y'all: The History of Jews in Mississippi"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stuart Rockoff presents: “Shalom Y’all: The History of Jews in Mississippi” \nIn the early 19th century\, Jewish immigrants from Europe began to arrive in the Magnolia State\, settling initially in towns along the Mississippi River. Concentrating in retail trade\, these Jews became visible symbols of economic modernity and market capitalism in Mississippi. Throughout much of their history\, Mississippi Jews have worked to lessen the cultural differences between themselves and their neighbors. In recent decades\, due to region-wide economic and demographic trends\, the Jewish population of Mississippi has declined and become concentrated in the state’s population centers.
