This Sunday, 10:00 a.m. January 29th – Adult Education Sunday Speaker: What happened to the Jews of Trenton?

Join us on January 29, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.

7,000 Jews lived in Trenton in the 1930′s. Many were concentrated in a small area, bounded by Broad, Market and Warren Street; an area that is now a low income housing complex and the Hughes Justice Center.
Last March, Adath Israel hosted an Adult Education meeting on the Jews of New Jersey. It resulted in an overflow crowd and gave birth to a blog, the Trenton Jewish Project. Now, less than a year and more than 12,000 page views later, Ed Alpern will give us an update on this endeavor. With readers from New Zealand to Israel and across the country, the Trenton Jewish Project is bringing the dispersed members of a once vibrant community together again. It is rekindling warm memories, opening a dialogue between generations and helping to preserve the history of a pocket of Jewish population that thrived in its time and spread its seeds throughout Central New Jersey and beyond. By combining archival photographs, interviews and social media, the Trenton Jewish Project is an opportunity to add your voice and create a living history of a time and place worth remembering.

Bring your memories, memorabilia and ideas and become part of this exciting project.
Location: Adath Israel 1958 Lawerenceville Rd Lawrenceville, NJ 08648
