We hope you will celebrate Hanukkah and Giving Tuesday with us this year with a gift of support!

Dear Friends, Old and New,

Happy Hanukkah and Happy Giving Tuesday!

This year, Giving Tuesday is especially meaningful to us at the American Jewish Historical Society as it falls during the festival of Hanukkah; the festival of lights. There is great meaning for us now in the concept of “From Darkness into Light,” as we begin our new campaign to digitize AJHS collections and create expanded access to the history they represent through increased onsite and virtual programming, education curricula, teacher training and enhanced web presence. Please join us this Giving Tuesday in shining light and illuminating the long, remarkable and influential history of Jewish Americans—our history is your history—so all may find their way here to learn and enjoy. There has never been a more important time to contribute to our mission preserving and sharing the rich stories, traditions, service and cultural contributions of Jews in America.

We hope you will celebrate Hanukkah and Giving Tuesday with us this year with a gift of support.

Your gift to the American Jewish Historical Society will provide important resources as we work to bring more of our history to more of you. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for lighting our way. With gratitude and warm wishes for a wonderful holiday season,

Gemma Birnbaum, Executive Director
