Stephen Tobolowsky Narrates Doc on Jews in Dallas Featuring My Great-Uncle Eli

• Brooke is there...just not in my man crush catagory, and with the way Kinsler played tonight(7/20) Bob needs to step it up.

• JILF? Brooke Burke

• I'm always interested in your preservation posts, Robert. This one is fascinating because it's so personal to you. How cool it must have been for you to find this.

• The race for my man crush is heating up. Big Bob Vs Ian Kinsler for my JILF catagory. They both hit home runs tonight.

• My dream in my next life is to be an affluent Cuban/Colombian Jew born in Buenos Aires but raised in Mexico City and Madrid. Disfruta Shalom. LOVE this.......always love the real Dallas past you help me connect to since I grew up here between you and these guys. Here's to Forest Avenue.

• Note that one sign says "Cobbel" and the other says "Cobble."

• Hi, Robert, The majority of the images used in the video come from the holdings of the Dallas Jewish Historical Society's archives, a repository for the records of many Jewish agencies in the Greater Dallas area. The archives also house the personal papers of many active and prominent Jewish families and individuals who have made a difference in Dallas.

• very nice. would love to buy the video but at $20 it's a little steep for a 17 minute item

• Very cool indeed, and thanks for posting this! The original owner of our 1923 house was Pauline B. Frank Wolff (1854-1942), who worshipped at Temple Emanu-El. She has no living decendents, so I've wondered where to go to try to get additional information about her life. I'm embarrassed to say that I did not know there was a Dallas Jewish Historical Society. Now I have a new avenue to pursue.

• Jerome, Big Hersch figures early '20s, since Eli joined my grandfather Harry, his brother, at the auto parts store upon its opening in Deep Ellum in 1932.

• Ah, 2008 Elm, the current site of the lovely Elm Street Garage. So what's the date of the shot?

• Fantastic
