Communist Jewish Chicken Ranchers of Petaluma

In the early part of the 20th century, Eastern European Jews flocked to the Northern California town of Petaluma to become chicken farmers. It was a unique community that thrived for decades. In this episode of Jewish Thought Leaders, we hear a panel discussion featuring Ken Kahn, author of Comrades and Chicken Ranchers: The Story of a California Jewish Community; Bonnie Burt and Judy Montell, co-director/producers of the documentary A Home on the Range; and three members of the original community – Lily Krulevitch, Sylvia Schwartz and Barry Nitchberg.
