Becoming Home: To Everything There is a Season (Story 1)

Retired chromatography professor and researcher Leo Mark Horovitz, who escaped Nazi Germany as a young boy, and New York-born monologist, Josh Kornbluth, eventually made the Bay Area their home. Though both men did not practice Judaism in their early adult lives, this segment examines how both Horovitz and Kornbuth individually found meaningful ways to reconcile, reconnect, and re-imagine their connection to Judaism in the Bay Area.

The decision to live in the Bay Area is personal and encompasses a wide range of experiences and motivations—some have moved here because of love, others to attend university, to seek a new job, to escape persecution, to establish new rituals, or just to dream a little.

In this documentary commissioned for the exhibition "California Dreaming: Jewish Life in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to the Present", filmmaker Pam Rorke Levy interviewed a wide range of individuals who call the Bay Area home and identify in some way with being Jewish.
