No one is ordinary. Every person has a unique story to tell. It is by finding and telling our own family stories that we figure out who we are and where we come from. Our personal stories take us inside history, values, identity, meaning--and Torah. In this genealogy workshop, we will explore methods, tools and resources that we can use to research, preserve, and share our stories.
