Inside the story of Nik Jakobs, an Illinois cattle farmer salvaging relics from closing synagogues to build a new one — and a Holocaust museum — on a two-acre cornfield in rural Illinois.

Presented by Benyamin Cohen, a senior writer at the Forward, America’s oldest Jewish newspaper. He is the author of two books, “My Jesus Year” and “The Einstein Effect,” and is at work on a third.
