JEWISH HISTORY TIMELINE PROJECT

THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 8, 2012

Please pick a country with a strong Jewish community either now or in the past and report back to our class about the following items: 
  • The year Jews arrived and when they left 
  • Why they left
  • Is there still a strong Jewish community
  • Culture, food, recreation
  • Education, Observance and Celebrations
  • Hardships, Anti-Semitism
  • synagogue life
  • family life
If possible, pick a country where your family is from, and interview a family member.  We would love to have guests visit us and share their story.  This all helps us to better understand our Jewish heritage, nurtures our Jewish identity, and demonstrates the importance of showing solidarity with Jews around the world.  

Feel free to add anything else you think might help us understand why these Jewish communities are still vibrant, or why the population was displaced.  This may be presented in a mini-poster, bullet points, or any other way you can share the information in an interesting and engaging way.
