Join WSJHS for an immersive community event celebrating the launch of our newly revamped Oral History Program. Enjoy food and drinks while we celebrate, connect, and ensure these stories live on for generations.
This is your opportunity to experience our work in real life, connect with fellow community members, and discover how you can be part of preserving Jewish history in Washington. At the event we will also unveil our brand-new website, which will serve as a hub for sharing and engaging with oral histories for years to come. We can't wait to see you there!
Tickets are available starting at $36. The first 50 people to RSVP will get a special gift at the event with a value of over $150! Registration will close June 15th.
Why your story matters: Every voice holds a piece of history. Whether you have been here your whole life or moved to WA recently, you are an important part of the Jewish community here. In a time of rising hate and division, preserving personal stories is an act of resistance and connection. And with our Hear O’Washington Program, we can help you do just that. Oral histories strengthen our collective memory, and remind us that history is not only what happened but how we tell it.
What to expect at the event:
- Interactive Exhibits: Explore curated oral histories and personal artifacts from our collection
- New Website Unveiling: Be among the first to explore our new digital platform for Jewish storytelling
- Community Conversation: Join a live storytelling game and connect with others through shared experiences
- Storybooth Experience: Record your own story and become part of the WSJHS archive
- Oral-History How To Guide: Learn how to conduct your own oral history and preserve your families story forever
