"The Big Chill" Documentary Screening

Join Sholom and the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest for a special documentary screening of "The Big Chill: Joe Numero & the Story of Thermo King."

This meaningful film explores the life and legacy of Joe Numero — visionary entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the namesake of Joe and Blanche Numero Sholom Home West. As the owner of Thermo King, Numero helped transform everyday life through innovation and leadership.

The documentary traces Joe Numero’s early years, his service in World War I, and his groundbreaking partnership with Frederick McKinley Jones, a self-taught engineer and one of the most prolific inventors of the 20th century. Together, they revolutionized how food is transported through the creation of refrigerated transportation.

This screening offers the opportunity to learn about a remarkable legacy that continues to shape both global industry and our Sholom community.
