UPCOMING EVENTS

Sunday, October 14, 10am

Dan Oren, MD
The Wedding Photo

Drawing from his new book, The Wedding Photo, B'nai Jacob member Dan Oren shares discoveries from his extended family that bring genealogy to life. A visit with his wife's cousin unearths a breathtaking photograph of a 1926 Berlin wedding and leads to finding their unimaginable post-wedding lives. An archivist in Prague discovers a secret uncle with a celebrity-filled life. A New York Times article about Philip Roth dramatically uncovers a 90-year-old man's hidden Jewish identity. If you haven't started your own genealogical queries yet, after this talk you will!
