Description:
In recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month, the Dallas Jewish Historical Society invites the community to gather on Tuesday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Aaron Family JCC for “What My Family Carried: Jewish American Stories of Survival, Memory and Responsibility,” an evening of live storytelling that honors the objects, traditions, values, and memories families carried with them and passed forward across generations.
The 90-minute program will center Jewish American experience as a foundation for understanding history, antisemitism, and the moral imperative of remembrance. Through personal, embodied stories, the event aims to honor Jewish American heritage, connect migration and memory to human rights principles, build empathy across generations, and create archival material for future education.
Community storytellers, selected in advance, will share brief five- to seven-minute reflections inspired by what their families “carried” to Dallas—whether a document, ritual object, recipe, language, song, value, or sense of responsibility. Each story will explore not only what was brought forward, but what that inheritance represents today.
Designed for adults, older teens, and intergenerational families.
Register here.
