Discover the rich history and evolution of Jewish names in our workshop with professional genealogist, Rabbi Scott Kalmikoff. This engaging session will delve into the origins and meanings of Jewish given and last names, revealing how they reflect historical migrations, cultural exchanges, and religious traditions.

Rabbi Scott’s hope is to excite you about genealogy & empower you to conduct the research on your own. For Rabbi Scott, genealogy isn't just a hobby or profession. Genealogy is a journey of personal exploration & self discovery. While learning about our ancestors we learn about ourselves. While learning about our history we connect with & deepen our Jewish identities. Jewish history & our families' stories are our story & deeply influence who we are today in ways we may never fully comprehend. Genealogical research provides us with a precious gift we can pass to the next generation, L'Dor VaDor.
