ResearchingFamily Roots – A Thousand Years of History of a family
In2013, the last suitcase of Helene (née Einstein) was discovered by chance inthe attic of an apartment in Germany. Helene, who was fleeing persecution, wasdeported to Auschwitz and murdered there. The suitcase contained genealogicaltreasures that led to in-depth research and to unique historical discoveries. Thelong chain of generations was uncovered primarily thanks to letters ofprotection granted to the family’s ancestors, who served as "court Jews" andbankers in the Tyrol region and in northern Italy. The documentation reaches asfar back as a rabbinical lineage to Rabbi Isaac ben Eliezer ha-Levi, theteacher of Rashi, who lived about a thousand years ago in the Rhine region ofGermany.
Yair Kam, Helene’s great-grandson, who lives in Tel Aviv and has pursuedgenealogy as a hobby since the family discovery described above came to light.
Gathering and light refreshments from 7:00 PM The lecture will begin at 7:30. Advance registration required. No charge for IGRA members. Entrance fee for guests is NIS 20. For a seat at the venue send an e-mail to [email protected] The lecture will NOT be broadcast on Zoom.

Webinar: Hungarian Citizenship by Descent Explained: The Expert Guide for International Applicants in English by Lidia Körmöndi & Ethan CohenTime: 19:00 - 20:00
Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/_UIQNXGCST6pQjHNy9TH5w
Do you have Hungarian descent — or roots from regions like Serbia, Romania, or even Ukraine that were once part of historic Hungary? If so, you may be eligible to become a Hungarian citizen and obtain an EU passport. For those interested, this session is a concise, experience-based walkthrough of the process, focused on the questions and parts people wonder about and struggle with most. You’ll see how this pathway can reshape your life and get a sense of what it’s like to live as an EU citizen, and have your real concerns answered. You’ll leave with clarity, direction, and the confidence to move forward if you have Hungarian ancestry and want to reclaim EU citizenship.
Ethan & Lídia built Learn Hungarian Anywhere on the belief that freedom is earned through knowledge, cultural connection, and self-reliance. Their program transforms Hungarian ancestry into EU citizenship — and the ability to build a new life, from Berlin to Budapest to the beaches of Croatia.

Webinar: Sephardim in Eastern Europe (Romania and Moldova [former Bessarabia]) in English by Felicia WaldmanTime: 19:00 - 20:00
Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ptsKnPozQkW8MZbtkUpK7A We shall look at the 500 year history of Spanish Jews in the Romanian lands (the Principalities of Wallachia, Moldova (which at times included Bessarabia) and Transylvania until 1859 and respectively Romania afterwards) through the lens of their economic, financial, social, educational, and cultural contributions to the development of their home- (or in some instances adoptive) country. As a particular case study, starting from the genealogical trees of the two most important Sephardic families of 19th century Bucharest, we shall see how instrumental personal connections, which often doubled business links, proved to be in the success of their patriotic efforts Assoc. Prof. of Hebrew Studies at the Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest, Felicia coordinates the Center for Hebrew Studies and the MA program in Hebrew Culture and Civilization. She is also Deputy Head of the Romanian Delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. She has authored and co-authored 4 books [“Stories and Images of Jewish Bucharest” (NMP, Bucharest, 2011), “Tales and Traces of Sephardic Bucharest” (NMP, Bucharest, 2016), “Trailing in the Footsteps of Jacques Elias. Documents, images and testimonies of a lost history” (Romanian Academy of Sciences, Bucharest, 2023) and “Halfon Saga: A Story about the Rise and Decline of Sephardic Aristocracy in Romania” (Integral, Bucharest, 2024)] as well as 20 articles on topics related to the Romanian Jewish history and heritage
