Help us match a grant that will open up our growing collection of oral history interviews and bring remarkable Jewish stories to homes and classrooms around the world.

It’s a tribute to the ingenuity and scholarly significance of our plan that the National Endowment for the Humanities has committed $270,000 to support it. Now it’s up to us to match that support with an additional $270,000 of our own. We’ve already raised $150,000 toward that goal, and we have $120,000 to go. Any funds raised in excess of the match will be used to support ongoing collection and processing of oral histories.

The National Endowment for the Humanities has shown its faith in us; now it’s up to us to show that we believe in ourselves. Please, won’t you make your generous, tax-deductible contribution today?
