Passover begins tonight at sundown. In recognition of this observance, we want to highlight our collection of oral history interviews with members of Johnstown's Jewish community. Conducted with the Cambria County Library and the Beth Sholom Congregation, these interviews provide an insight into the synagogue community and the importance of preserving faith, culture, and heritage.
At this time, our family celebrations and religious and cultural observances have all been impacted by quarantine and social distancing. We must find new ways to preserve and celebrate traditions and stay in touch with friends and families. JAHA wishes you all the best if you are celebrating Passover tonight.
