One-Day Workshop to Benefit Ukrainians/Jewish Roots in Ukraine: Context and Connection

I'm thrilled to partner with Tammy Hepps, Brooke Schreier Ganz and Jennifer Mendelsohn to offer a workshop on Jewish roots in Ukraine, with all proceeds going to Razom for Ukraine and the American Joint Distribution Committee, who are assisting Ukrainian refugees.

This workshop is designed for newer researchers, but there will be content for people with all levels of genealogy experience, taught by leading Jewish genealogists.  So tell your friends who have expressed interest in their Ukrainian Jewish ancestry!  You can learn all of the details, including how to register, at this link

And a special thank you to the NY Genealogical and Biographical Society for hosting this so Tammy, Brooke, Jennifer & I can concentrate on the genealogy, not the logistics.

  4. Is the goal of this to reimagine Jewish history to make Ukrainians seem less anti-Semitic?

    1. There is no reimagination of Jewish history here. We will teach how to research your Jewish ancestry in Ukraine, in the context of history--both good and bad. But thanks for making that assumption.

  5. Is the One-Day Workshop to Benefit Ukrainians/Jewish Roots in Ukraine: Context and Connection live? Will it be on Zoom? Will there be anytime for Q and A? thank you.

    1. It is live. It's via NYB&G's platform, which I believe is zoom (but I'm not confident). There should be Q&A time at the end of each lecture.
