Upcoming Events | The Breman Museum in Atlanta

On Sunday, December 5th at 6:30 p.m., the Atlanta Israel Coalition in partnership with the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta is hosting “Shine a Light on Antisemitism”, a community-wide interfaith family Hanukkah celebration. On this 8th night of Hanukkah, we will shine a light on the recent rise in antisemitism and delegitimization of Israel. We will explore community and individual responses to antisemitism in all its mutations and modern forms.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Georgia presents this exclusive author talk with Professor Laura Leibman author of Once We Were Slaves: The Extraordinary Journey of a Multi-Racial Jewish Family. Professor Leibman will share the extraordinary story of a Jewish genealogist from a prominent American family with a Jewish American pedigree going back before the Revolutionary War. She was searching for her grandmother's maternal line, and expected to find wealthy Sephardic Jews. Instead, she found poor, enslaved ancestors whose life stories will upend many of the ideas that we have about ourselves.
