Los Gauchos Judios/Jewish Gauchos (1975)

Congregation Or Hadash, in conjunction with the Consulate General of Argentina, is delighted to present the first Atlanta Jewish-Latino Film Series (Cine Latino Judio) the week of April 8-14. The series, open to the general public, showcases five fantastic films made available by the Consulate General of Argentina. Special guest speakers will introduce each film, with Or Hadash’s husband-and-wife (and native Argentinian) team of Rabbi Mario Karpuj and Rabbi Dr. Analia Bortz on hand to provide additional historical context and their personal reflections.

Film Description: A musical “dramedy” concerning Jewish immigrants who end up in an Argentinian farming colony after fleeing Russia in 1889.
