evolving. Rabbi Bearman will share more resources, techniques, and ideas for preserving and sharing your family's history. Building on her class last year, Rabbi Bearman will share more of her personal experiences as a family historian and address specific questions and techniques that could be helpful for anyone who is interested in the general topic as well as those who are currently researching their family's history.
