JDAYS WORLDWIDE JEWISH EVENT CALENDAR

            Exploring Jewish Genealogy from Your Living Room: A World of Opportunities

As President of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami (JGSGM), I am always looking for ways to connect our members with meaningful learning experiences—and today, those opportunities truly span the globe.

I encourage all of you to explore the Worldwide Jewish Calendar of Events available through the L’Dor V’Dor Foundation website. This remarkable resource brings together a wide range of virtual programs focused on Jewish genealogy, history, and heritage.

Many of these events are free, while others require only a modest fee. The value, however, is extraordinary.

Before COVID, most genealogy lectures and workshops were limited to local society meetings. Today, we have the privilege of attending presentations by world-renowned experts—all from the comfort of our own homes. Whether you are just beginning your family history journey or are an experienced researcher, there is truly something for everyone.

These virtual programs offer:

• Access to international speakers and researchers
• Exposure to new research tools, databases, and methodologies
• Opportunities to connect with the global genealogy community

I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this incredible resource. It is a wonderful way to expand your knowledge, deepen your research, and stay inspired between our JGSGM programs.

As always, I look forward to learning—and discovering—together.

Warm regards,
Paulette Bronstein
President, Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami (JGSGM)
