Hidden among South Jersey’s farmlands and deep within the Pine Barrens, faint echoes of a once-thriving Jewish world still whisper in the wind. Follow the old train tracks that cut through the fields and forests, past forgotten stations and beyond the Atlantic City Boardwalk, and you’ll find traces of that world waiting to be rediscovered. The Seventy Shuls: Synagogue Life & Yiddishkeit from the Pine Barrens to the Boardwalk is a journey through time, memory, and faith, an exploration of how Jewish life flourished in the Garden State and what remains today.
