OLLI - The History of Jews in the Ozarks

OLLI - The History of Jews in the Ozarks

This program will cover the
history of Jews in the parts of the four states
that compose the Ozarks. Dr. Mara W. Cohen
Ioannides, emerita faculty at Missouri State University, whose research focus has been on Jewish communities in the Ozarks, will look back to
the purchase of the Louisiana Territory through
the present day and examine how the Jewish
communities were founded and folded, who
they were composed of, and what made them
thrive and fail. It is an interesting journey that’s
worth knowing to better understand Ozark’s
history.
