CJHS Genealogy Super Sunday

The 9th annual Genealogy Super Sunday is Sunday, December 11 at Congregation Beth Tikvah, Temple Beth Shalom and Tifereth Israel.

Jewish middle schoolers will be challenged to think about where they came from and who they are today.

This year, Columbus Jewish Historical Society (CJHS) facilitators will be inviting seventh grade students to join a session with their parents and/or grandparents. Facilitators will encourage students to share family photos, keepsakes, documents, and other family memorabilia, and explain what they learned from these items. As pre-work, students will design a “Coat of Arms” that represents their families of origin to share with their class.
