Temple Mishkan Israel: Being Jewish in a Small & Historic Community in Selma, Alabama

With only three active members, it would be easy to overlook Temple Mishkan Israel. Nestled just steps away from the historic bridge in downtown Selma, Alabama, the synagogue is more than a building – it is a legacy. Join ethnographer and folklorist Dr. Amy Milligan, as she paints a picture of spending the last five years working alongside the remaining members of the congregation, capturing their stories, learning their history, and building towards a future for the congregation and their important historic building.

Dr. Amy K. Milligan is the Batten Endowed Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and Women’s Studies and the director of the Institute for Jewish Studies and Interfaith Understanding at Old Dominion University.
