    The story of Jewish immigration to Tennessee and how they embraced the culture they found here is documented in a new exhibit at the Tennessee State Museum. Bagels & Barbeque: The Jewish Experience in Tennessee begins with the saga of early Jewish settlers emigrating from Europe and continues through the Civil War and Reconstruction, World War II, the Civil Rights Era and up to the recent influence of the Jewish Community in Tennessee. The exhibition is a joint project of the Tennessee State Museum in collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, Jewish Community Federation of Greater Chattanooga, Knoxville Jewish Alliance, and Memphis Jewish Federation, with the participation of other Jewish communities around the state. The exhibit's statewide tour is supported in part by a grant from Humanities Tennessee, an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
