Take a walk back in time to Detroit’s first Jewish enclave, 1880-1930, where tradition and innovation rubbed shoulders in surprising ways… “Authentic Jewish lifestyles, between the years 1880 and 1930, are at the center of an upcoming exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum. The display follows two years of collecting and planning for the presentation of the storied past of all that is on view.” – The Detroit Jewish News.
