Film Blurb

The directors of JHSSA are pleased to once again be part of the Beth Tzedec Jewish Film Festival by co-sponsoring this film/event as its inaugural Jay Joffe Memorial Program. Jay Joffe^z”l had a passion for bringing the love of Jewish history to the widest possible audience. He would certainly have been delighted to see the intersection of cowboy and Jewish farming culture at this Jewish Film Festival event.
