With 90 days of virtual festivities, and AMAZING Donors, who knows what we can accomplish?
You’re invited to Cyber Soiree 2020!
In response to increasing concerns about the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), Dallas Jewish Historical Society has made the difficult decision to postpone our annual fundraising event, “One Story at a Time” ¡Viva Shalom!, Jim Schwartz Annual Lecture Series, DJF Partner Series, and other scheduled programs until the Fall.
While the health and safety of our community is foremost in our mind, we still need your support for ongoing expenses: including rent, maintaining staff, preserving and processing valuable archival materials, and more. To that end, DJHS has created “Cyber Soiree: Keep history alive from the comfort of your own home.” – An online fundraiser which will provide 90 days of virtual activities, ways to connect with DJHS, an online raffle, and other inspiring giving opportunities!
