There Are Jews Here takes you on a journey to places where most never imagined Jews existed, following the untold stories of four once-thriving American Jewish communities that can now barely hold a minyan. Most American Jews live in large cities where they are free to define themselves in any way they wish. But almost invisible to most of the country are roughly one million Jews scattered across far-flung communities where they are barely hanging on. For them, Jewish identity is a daily urgent challenge; if they don’t personally uphold their communities and live affirmative Jewish lives, they and their legacies could fade away forever.
