Fred Rosenbaum on the Fabulous Fillmore, 1907-1955

Fred Rosenbaum, founding director of Lehrhaus Judaica, and author of Cosmopolitans: A Social and Cultural History of the Jews of the San Francisco Bay Area, discusses the Fillmore as a hub of Yiddish-speaking Jewish culture in Northern California for almost half a century—not only as a center of Orthodox religious life, but also of Zionism, socialism, and the Yiddish theater.
