Preserving Your Congregation’s History

This Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission presentation will feature Barry Rudel, speaking about the partnership between the Beth Sholom Congregation and JAHA to preserve Johnstown’s Jewish history.

Many communities are brought together by shared religious views, beliefs and experiences. Preserving the stories of congregations— whether they are newly formed or have gathered for generations— is critical to understanding that community’s history and the larger history we all share. Join us to learn how Mother Bethel AME Church, Christ Church, Philadelphia, and Beth Sholom Congregation of Johnstown have been working to preserve the records and stories of their congregations and how your worship community might preserve its own history.

Speakers:

Margaret Jerrido, Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church

Carol Smith, Christ Church, Philadelphia

Barry Rudel, Beth Sholom Congregation of Johnstown

The presentation is free and will be presented over Zoom.
