Dressing America: Tales from the Garment Center

The Jay Joffe Memorial Program was launched by the Jewish Historical Society of Southern Alberta (JHSSA) in 2009 to honour the memory of its long-serving founding president, Jay Joffe (1931-2007).

This program is dedicated to promoting and featuring Jewish culture and history through activities such as lectures, exhibits, films or performances.

The directors of JHSSA are pleased to once again be part of the Beth Tzedec Jewish Film Festival by co-sponsoring Dressing America: Tales from the Garment Center. Jay Joffe z’’l had a passion for bringing the love of Jewish history to the widest possible audience. This film reflects on a century and a half of Jewish presence and contribution in a creative and competitive industry.
