This is the story of America’s disappearing Jewish communities.

Roughly one million Jews are scattered across far-flung communities. For them, Jewish identity is a daily urgent challenge to personally uphold their communities and live Jewish lives.

• In the Mexican-American city of Laredo, Texas we follow a young, interfaith couple trying to reignite their community’s Jewish life amid a dominant Catholic culture.
• In Montana we immerse in the beauty of the mountains where a spiritually committed woman lay leader tries to keep her community afloat even as she struggles with personal health.
• We go to Latrobe, Pennsylvania where the synagogue’s leaders hold on to keep their doors open just long enough to host the bat mitzvah of the congregation’s oldest member’s granddaughter.
