The Last Jewish Town

At the beginning of the 18th century, the "mountain Jews" of north Azerbaijan were given a portion of land to run their lives according to Jewish tradition, without interference. Today, their descendants, numbering around 6000, live according to Sephardic tradition in a town run by both a rabbi and a mayor. The Last Jewish Town lovingly captures a way of life that has remained largely uninterrupted for hundreds of years.  Screening with Adio Kerida and Kosher Friendly.
