Created by Zalmen Mlotek and Moishe Rosenfeld, and directed by Bryna Wasserman, The Golden Land uses period music and other source material to create "a richly textured evocation of New York as it absorbed wave upon wave of Jewish immigrants from the 1880s into the 1910s, and again, in a second starkly different phase immediately before and after World War II."
