We are thrilled to announce that the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History has become a silver sponsor of the 44th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy. This meaningful sponsorship underscores the Museum’s dedication to preserving, exploring, and celebrating the history of Jews in America.
Joan Nathan to Deliver Keynote Address
As part of this sponsorship, The Weitzman is sponsoring the opening keynote address of the conference on Sunday evening, August 18th. We are honored to welcome acclaimed author and Jewish cuisine expert Joan Nathan as this year’s keynote speaker. Ms. Nathan’s work has profoundly influenced the appreciation and understanding of Jewish culinary traditions and history, making her a perfect fit for the conference theme of exploring Jewish heritage.
She is renowned for her extensive research and engaging storytelling that bring Jewish recipes and traditions to life. Her keynote address promises to be an enlightening and inspiring experience for all attendees.
