Jewish Gauchos
At the turn of the twentieth century, philanthropist Baron Maurice de Hirsch purchased land in Argentina to provide a refuge for Jews fleeing Russia. These Jewish agricultural communities allowed for the first Jewish gauchos- Jewish cowboys. This quaint South American musical film classic, created as a sort of Latin “Fiddler on the Roof” story, is taken from the 1910 novel by Alberto Gerchunoff. It provides a fascinating look at the pioneers of Argentinean Jewry, their town of Moisesville and the origins of what would become a thriving Jewish community. | ![]() |
