Volunteer Needed-The JGSGB is looking for a volunteer to manage the JGSGB Google calendar. Training will be provided, but experience using Google calendar would be useful. Minimal time commitment. If interested, please send an email to presidents@jgsgb.org.
Are you a native New Englander? Mass-Pocha would like to have a write-up of YOUR town or region of origin, to be placed in the “The Way We Were” column. The purpose is to record an impression of the Jewish history of your local town and what it was like growing up in it (see past issues for examples). Just as we look for information about our foreign towns of origin, those who do not live in this area want to know about the places from which their New England ancestors came. In addition, the piece will be a record for future generations so that they can get a feel for late 19th and 20th century New England Jewish life. If you have a story to suggest (we are happy to edit the piece) or would like a sample, please contact the editors at editor@jgsgb.org.
