An affectionate portrait of the Jewish North Side - a bridge that carried a community from the shtetls of the Old World to the suburbs of the New World.

"They say if there's a little bit of the North Side in you, you're OK."

Between the 1890s and the 1960s, the North Side of Minneapolis, MN was home to a large and vibrant Jewish community. In this DVD, through recollections of several generations of North Siders, we hear how they gained economic security, established an American Jewish way of life in an often hostile environment, and created the foundation for a better life - not only for themselves, but for their children, future generations, and the community at large.
