Because of the attack on Israelis by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and alarming incidents of antisemitism worldwide, the topic of Jewish people and culture in America is at the top of minds.
One avenue to study Jewish heritage and recent history is the Jewish Film Festival in Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
The festival kicked off with the new year and runs through Sunday. It is held at different venues in Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
