Please join us for our AGM and program, 30 Years in 30 Minutes. Current members can contact the office to RSVP by October 19th. A recording of the AGM program is available here.
In 1989, Jay Joffe gathered a small group of dedicated volunteers and formed the Jewish Historical Society of Southern Alberta. JHSSA incorporated in 1990, and within its first year the foundation for our wonderful organization was already well on its way: the first issue of our journal Discovery had been produced and distributed to all local Jewish homes; members of southern Alberta’s Jewish communities were eagerly donating documents and photos; an ambitious display was being undertaken, that would take our story throughout our communities and beyond. We invite you to share with us as we remember the past 30 years, from our earliest meetings to our most recent projects, with the help of several early and founding JHSSA board members and supporters. Please join us as we revisit some of our favourite programs, and take another look at some of our most beloved artifacts and documents. In addition to our program and the business portion of the meeting, our AGM will honour those members of our community who celebrated their 80th birthday within the past year—as we have done for 30 years, now.
