A group from Temple Israel of Minneapolis, Minn. recently visited the Delta Center for Culture and Learning.

Temple Israel, located in Minneapolis, Minn., recently stopped in Cleveland for an introduction to the Delta at the Delta Center for Culture and Learning at Delta State University.

The Delta Center’s Lee Aylward spoke with the group and led them to historical sites. The group ended its day at Temple Adath Israel in Cleveland, where members of the congregation spoke on the history of Judaism in the area and treated the group to refreshments.

The Temple Israel group was led by Barbara Glaser and Rabbi, and they began their trip in Memphis. The group will be traveling Highway 61 to New Orleans with stops in Greenwood and Vicksburg.
