September 2023 NEWS:
1) FJHP marks Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, by announcing a joint partnership with The Chesed Fund, FODŻ and the town of Orla in an effort to protect and restore the Great Synagogue of Orla. This project is led by the Light family, descendants of Orla.
2) We are delighted to learn of the generosity of the late US presidential advisor Richard Pipes, whose will endowed protection of the two Jewish cemeteries of his birthplace of Cieszyn. FJHP is available to support both immediate restoration projects as well as permanent endowments for such.
3) FJHP is pleased to celebrate and support with FODŻ the work of Przerośl descendants leading to installation of a historical signboard at the Przerośl Jewish cemetery at a dedication in August. This work was organized and coordinated by descendant Hatte Blejer.
4) This summer we completed two trips in partnership with JewishGen and The Matzevah Foundation, building connections between descendants and Jewish heritage in Poland and thosee who care for that heritage. Our JewishGen "Future Scholars Fellows" and Neshama troups toured Poland and cleaned the Wieniawa (Lublin) Jewish cemetery, Lublin's historic Old Jewish cemetery, and Lublin's New Jewish cemetery.
