Dear IAJGS Leaders,

In early October, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger experienced two outages totaling eight hours. This highlighted the need for alternate services for the ones on which we rely. "Contingency Planning" provides ten tips to consider. It has been published in the November 2021 issue of "Venturing into Our Past", the Newsletter of the Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County (JGSCV). Current and prior newsletters are freely available at the Society's website, http://www.jgscv.org/

All Practicing Safe Computing articles published to date are available in a single searchable PDF. This resource is freely accessible at https://tinyurl.com/SafeComputingArticles. Consider placing a link to it on your society's web site or otherwise sharing it with your members as an ongoing free resource, reminding them when new articles are available. If you have any questions or suggestions for future articles, please contact me.

Best,

Hal

A Slice of our Jewish Heritage Community

 

The Jewish Community in Morocco

 

Keynote speaker: Haim F. Ghiuzeli

 

 A historian and the Director of the Databases of ANU - Museum of the Jewish People, calling live from Israel.

The presentation focuses on the centuries-old history of the family names of the Jews of Morocco.  Surnames may provide an insight into the geographical origins of some families or into the occupations of their ancestors, the role they played in the life of their communities, and the way family members were perceived by their neighbors and friends. Understanding the rich linguistic background of the Jews of Morocco is an essential clue for a correct interpretation of the meaning of their family names. A knowledge of the meaning of these family names may reveal details about past Jewish life in Morocco and could be instrumental for a

successful research of family roots.

Program moderated by Professor Henry Green,  Professor of Religious Studies of Judaic and Sephardi Studies at the University of Miami - founder of Sephardic Voices - whose latest book published through Just in Press is SEPHARDI VOICES:

The Untold Expulsion of Jews from Arab Lands 

 

Sephardi voice participating in the panel – Mrs. Sete Bentata,

a renowned architect born in Tetouan, Morocco, tracing her family story.
