Last week, we at the Museum of Jewish Heritage — A
Living Memorial to the Holocaust celebrated our 25th Anniversary.
We are delighted to celebrate this milestone all year
long. Our programs, educational initiatives, exhibitions, and
community are robust, growing, and essential to remembrance and
Jewish heritage.
 Here at the
Museum, we are dedicated to remembrance of
the 6 million, resistance in the face of incredible
circumstances, resilience of the 3 million who survived
and rebuilt, and the renewal of the Jewish
people. For the next 25 years, and
many anniversaries to come, the Museum of Jewish Heritage will
continue to learn, teach, and inspire future generations by these
principles. Thank you for joining us, and for all your support.

Kliger

JewishGen's HIGH HOLIDAY COMPANION
|
|
|
|
As we approach Rosh Hashanah, which
begins next Sunday night, we are ever mindful of JewishGen's
vital and important role in preserving Jewish family history and
heritage. Please download and enjoy reading this year's JewishGen High Holiday
Companion 2022/5783, which contains
inspirational vignettes about how Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
were observed in various communities. This year's collection
includes towns in Poland, Ukraine and Belarus, and includes the
account of Holocaust Survivors observing Rosh Hashanah in their
hometown after the war - a town which did not have even one
standing synagogue for them to pray in. Particularly during
this troubling time throughout the world, we hope that this
companion will inspire you to connect with previous generations,
and to help preserve and perpetuate the values which they held most
dear.
