JGSGB General Meeting - Aug 16th 2020 2pm – with JGSGB Mentors – “BWBU: Brick Walls and Brush Up Workshop”

Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is a General Meeting by Zoom.

Date: August 16th 2020
Time: 14:00 London
Title: BWBU: The JGSGB Brick Walls and Brush Up Workshop
Experts: JGSGB Mentors will be on hand
Description: We will hold our well-received workshop under the title ‘BRICK WALLS & BRUSH UP’.

BW = where you feel that you can’t go any further ... but more than likely, you can.

BU = for those who may have lapsed with their researches in recent times, thus feel that they need a boost. We will supply the jump leads.

The Society’s mentors – and on occasions other well clued up members – will endeavour to point one and all in the right direction. All regions covered.

If you have any specific questions regarding your brick walls, please send a brief summary to Raymond Montanjees at eesig@jgsgb.org.uk and he will brief the relevant expert before the meeting. But it is fine to just turn up on the day and we will answer with the best advice we can muster.

The invitation to register is below, but please keep it to yourself! Please note that we are continuing with registration for our Zoom meetings in August to see if the automated emails generated are better than manually sending out Zoom invitations.

If you have problems joining please email chairman@jgsgb.org.uk, preferably in the 15 minutes before the meeting proper starts.

Free online history festival: Jewish life in small communities 15–25 March

From Hilary Thomas: "Connecting Small Histories” takes the bold step of drawing the footprint of Jewish life in what are now small or former communities across the United Kingdom. Through stories and memories, we identify the Jewish legacy in the local economies and culture, beginning with six very different locations, Eastbourne, St Annes, Bradford, Sunderland, Cumbria and Somerset. After almost twelve months of work, our History Festival begins the telling of these “Small Histories”, bringing both them and a wide selection of projects from our Heritage Hub to a wider public.   Over a series of daytime and evening events, our programme brings together storytellers, academics, Jewish heritage project teams, and volunteers to paint a picture of Jewish life and heritage spread wide across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We are inviting you to join us! Simply, click here to view the festival programme and to register your attendance. Best wishes, The Connecting Small Histories...
