"Roots & History" club is the community project for the exploration, celebration and preservation of our family stories. It was launched in Fall 07 by Young Leaders -- a group of young professionals who volonteer at HIAS (Hebrew Immigration Aid Society) in New York.
As the leader in rescuing, reuniting, and resettling Jewish refugees since the 19th century, HIAS has developed a unique knowledge of the history of Jewish immigration. YOU have a chance to tap into this wealth of knowledge and discover your own family story. To learn more about HIAS, visit www.hias.org.
Join Valery Bazarov, the HIAS Family History expert, and a group of other young enthusiasts for monthly club meetings, where in a friendly setting you will learn about Jewish genealogy and gain hands-on experience in conducting your own genealogical research.
Club Membership Fee: $18 annually (HIAS Young Leaders membership)
