SUMMARY:Paulette Bronstein: What Our Genealogical Research Can Reveal
DESCRIPTION:What Our Genealogical Research Can Reveal\n\n\n\nMy great grandfather was a horse thief and brothel owner! \n\n\n\nZoom meeting Sunday\, September 18th\, 2022 10:30 A.M.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker – Paulette Bronstein – President Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami \n\n\n\nSince 1995 Paulette has been able to trace her paternal ancestry back to the 17 th century. She attended her first IAJGS Conference in 2010 in Los Angeles and an additional seven of the yearly IAJGS conferences (International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies). Since then\, she has used Jewishgen.org and Litvak SIG to trace her Jewish ancestors. She had success tracing her maternal grandfather’s family\, but her maternal grandmother’s family remained a mystery until two months ago. Nikita\, a 25-year-old Moscow researcher\, contacted Paulette using Jewishgen.org’s Family Finder on May 20\, 2022. He found court documents in the Moscow Police Archives accusing Lieb Gamus\, Paulette’s great grandfather\, of being a horse thief and brothel owner!

SUMMARY:The Second Exodus: The Clandestine Jewish Immigrants to Palestine Prior to Israel Independence (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:The following events are done in collaboration with Temple Beth Am Library’s Sunday Salon & Sephardi Voices \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Second Exodus: The Clandestine Jewish Immigrants to Palestine Prior to Israel Independence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, May 15 at 10:30 am (Part 2) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLyn Julius \n\n\n\nFounder of Harif\, UK Associationof Jews from Middle east and North Africa \n\n\n\nLyn Julius is a journalist\, blogger\, and speaker. The British-born daughter of Iraqi – Jewish refugees\, her work has appeared in JNS News\, Times of Israel\, Jewish Chronicle\, Haaretz\, Fathom\, The Guardian\, etc. Her book Uprooted: How 3\,000 years of Jewish civilisation in the Arab world vanished overnight (Vallentine Mitchell\, 2018) has been translated to Norwegian\, Portuguese and Arabic. \n\n\n\nAliya Bet was the illegal immigration of Jewish refugees during WWII\, desperate to run the British shipping blockade in order to reach Palestine. Jewish communities in Egypt and Iran played their part in helping refugees escape. At the time\, the overwhelming majority of immigrants to Eretz Israel were Ashkenazim from Europe\, but a trickle of Jews entered Palestine from Arab countries\, either as individuals or in small groups. The great aliyot of entire communities\, such as those of Yemen and Iraq\, were not to take place until after 1948 when Israel flung its gates open. But clandestine immigration continued\, for example from Morocco: the problem was no longer the British refusing to let Jews in\, but Arab countries refusing to let them out. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Henry A Green \n\n\n\nFounder of Sephardi Voices\, Moderator       \n\n\n\nHenry Alan Green is a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Miami and has taught there since 1984. After completing postgraduate work at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, the University of Oxford\, and the Sorbonne\, he received his Ph.D. in Religion from St. Andrew’s University in 1982. He is the published author or co-author of four books and numerous articles\, and has received recognition for his work on documenting the exodus of Jews from Arab countries after the Second World War. \n\n\n\nGreen is very active as a voice for Sephardi Jews\, both in the United States and abroad. \n\n\n\nDr. Green testified before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus in Washington D.C. in 2007\, on the topic of truth\, justice\, and reconciliation for Jewish refugees from Arab countries\, and serves on a number of boards for Sephardi-related organizations. In particular\, he is a member of the Executive Committee for Justice for Jews from Arab Countries (JJAC) and was a former member of the Academic Advisory Board of the American Sephardi Federation (ASF).

SUMMARY:The Second Exodus: The Clandestine Jewish Immigrants to Palestine Prior to Israel Independence (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:The following events are done in collaboration with Temple Beth Am Library’s Sunday Salon & Sephardi Voices \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Second Exodus: The Clandestine Jewish Immigrants to Palestine Prior to Israel Independence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, April 3 at 10:30 am (Part 1) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGemma R. Birnbaum \n\n\n\nExecutive director of American Jewish Historical Society (AJHS) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation will focus on clandestine immigration immediately before\, during\, and after World War II\, as persecuted Jews in Europe tried to make their way into the British Mandate of Palestine\, often deemed illegally by the British authorities who controlled the region. This journey was dangerous and failed more often than it succeeded. These immigration restrictions\, many of which were laid out in 1939’s British White Paper\, became the subject of international debate after images of Jewish refugees being forced off ships at gunpoint and incarcerated in camps in Cyprus emerged in the media. Conspiracy theories around whether the Jews were truly refugees began to emerge\, and Jewish leaders around the globe\, members of the United Nations\, and the Truman administration found themselves embroiled in a fight to have these restrictions lifted and the prisoners in Cyprus released. By 1948\, increased Jewish immigration to Palestine increased regional tensions\, and as the state of Israel was established\, the situation exploded into a continued refugee crisis and all-out war. \n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, May 15 at 10:30 am (Part 2) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLyn Julius \n\n\n\nFounder of Harif\, UK Associationof Jews from Middle east and North Africa \n\n\n\nLyn Julius is a journalist\, blogger\, and speaker.

SUMMARY:Professor Miriam Hoffman: Curious Rabbinic Tales: The Shortest Tall Stories
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Salons\n\n\n\nPresented monthly by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Miriam Hoffman is a retired professor of Yiddish language\, literature and film\, Jewish culture\, Yiddish humor\, and classical and minor Yiddish writers. She is also a known Yiddish journalist and worked as a feature writer for the Yiddish Forward from 1982 to today. Now\, with her latest book\, she brings us the magic of storytelling. Folktales belong to the earliest folk literature\, predating Jewish sources. Once they were adapted into the Jewish setting\, the tales were integrated into our own mythology. Folktales were told as parables with a moral undercurrent to expose human frailty and strength\, vanity\, and heroism. Anything that was not said openly was disguised as a parable or a folktale. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo join us by Zoom or Live Streaming\, contact JGSGM to get your link: jgsgm.vpprogramming@gmail.com  \n\n\n\n\nMore Info

SUMMARY:Professor Hal Bookbinder: Practicing Safe Computing
DESCRIPTION:The Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami (JGSGM) is collaborating with the Jewish Genealogy SIG (Special Interest Group) of Naples/Lee Co FL mentored by Mr. Arthur Sissman. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom presentation: \n\n\n\nPracticing Safe Computing by Professor Hal Bookbinder\n\n\n\nAlong with malware infecting your computer and hackers attempting to con you\, your data on the Web is also at risk from breaches beyond your control. Facebook (March 2021)\, Microsoft (January 2020)\, Capital One (July 2019)\, Marriott (November 2018)\, Twitter (May 2018)\, Yahoo (September 2016) and even MyHeritage (June 2018) have experienced massive breaches in which millions of customer records were exposed. Even in the absence of bad actors\, computers become corrupted and storage devices fail resulting in the potential loss of years of genealogical research. This talk discusses the risks\, the myths\, ways to reduce the likelihood of being hacked and how to minimize the impact of hacks and breaches that do occur. For a road map of issues and solutions\, see Hal’s monthly series of Safe Computing articles\, published in the JGSCV Newsletter\, at https://www.tinyurl.com/SafeComputingArticles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHal is a retired information systems professional who continues to instruct business courses at the university level. \n\n\n\nHe has been actively researching his genealogy for more than three decades\, identifying over 4\,000 relatives and tracing two lines to the mid-1700s in modern Ukraine. Hal has written and spoken on border changes\, migration\, citizenship\, safe computing unique research techniques. \n\n\n\nHal is a past president of the JGS of Los Angeles and of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies. Hal publishes a series of monthly articles on safe computing which are freely available at https://www.tinyurl.com/SafeComputingArticles. He and his wife\, Marci\, were raised in the Catskills of New York State and now live in the Los Angeles area.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register with jgsgm.vpprogramming@gmail.com if you did not attend the previous classes with the mentor.

SUMMARY:Janice Masur: Shalom Uganda
DESCRIPTION:December Sunday Salons\n\n\n\nPresented monthly by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanice Masur grew up in a tiny\, remote European Jewish community in Kampala\, Uganda\, under British Imperial rule\, with no rabbi or Jewish infrastructure. And yet\, this community of only twenty-three families formed a cohesive group that celebrated all Jewish festivals together and upheld their Jewish identity. Sadly\, while Kampala Jewry made every effort to survive\, it eventually failed and withered under the hot African sun. \n\n\n\nIn Shalom Uganda: A Jewish Community on the Equator\, Masur tells her story of living in this little-known Ashkenazi Jewish community from 1949 to 1961. Because so many Jewish communities were obliterated in the last century\, she documents\, remembers\, and preserves Kampala European Jewry with all the respect that it deserves. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobert Jacobvitz\, who serves on the Advisory Board of the Sousa Mendez Foundation\, brings us this fascinating author as part of his foundation’s programs. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo join us by Zoom or Live Streaming\, contact JGSGM to get your link: jgsgm.vpprogramming@gmail.com  \n\n\n\n\nMore Info

SUMMARY:Horia Haim F. Ghiuzeli: Centuries-old history of the family names of the Jews of Morocco
DESCRIPTION:Temple Beth Am Sunday Salons via Zoom and live streaming \n\n\n\nSlice of Jewish Life + The Morocco Community\, presenting: \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHoria Haim F. Ghiuzeli\n\n\n\nHoria Haim F. Ghiuzeli\, a historian\, is the Director of the Databases of ANU – Museum of the Jewish People. The presentation focuses on the centuries-old history of the family names of the Jews of Morocco.  Surnames may provide an insight into the geographical origins of some families or into the occupations of their ancestors\, the role they played in the life of their communities and the way family members were perceived by their neighbors and friends. Understanding the rich linguistic background of the Jews of Morocco is an essential clue for a correct interpretation of the meaning of their family names. A knowledge of the meaning of these family names may reveal details about past Jewish life in Morocco and could be instrumental for a successful research of family roots. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerated by Professor Henry Green\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor of Religious Studies of Judaic and Sephardi Studies at the University of Miami – founder of Sephardic Voices – whose latest book published through Just in Press is SEPHARDI VOICES: The Untold Expulsion of Jews from Arab Lands   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipant Sete Bentata\, a renowned architect born in Tetouan\, Morocco\, tracing her family story. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP online for the event with jgsgm.vpprogramming@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\nMore Info

SUMMARY:Libby Copeland: The Cultural Phenomenon of Home DNA Testing
DESCRIPTION:The following event is done in collaboration with Temple Beth Am Library’s Sunday Salon: \n\n\n\nThe Cultural Phenomenon of Home DNA Testing\n\n\n\n\n\nLibby Copeland: is an award-winning journalist who has written for the Washington Post\, New York magazine\, the New York Times\, the Atlantic\, and many other publications. She specializes in the intersection of science and culture and will explore with us the extraordinary cultural phenomenon of home DNA testing\, which is redefining family history. It will draw on Libby Copeland’s years of research for her new book The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are (Abrams\, 2020)\, which The Wall Street Journal calls “a fascinating account of lives dramatically affected by genetic sleuthing.” With more than 37 million people having been tested\, a tipping point has been reached. Virtually all Americans are affected whether they have been tested or not\, and millions have been impacted by significant revelations in their immediate families.  The presentation will discuss the implications of home DNA testing for Jewish genealogy\, as well as the unique challenges of genetic genealogy for Ashkenazim. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo join us by Zoom\, contact to get a link \n\n\n\njgsgm.vpprogramming@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\nMore Info
