Location: Machzikei Hadas Synagogue

Cost: $10 for Members; $15 for non-members

Join us November 18 at the Machzikei Hadas synagogue for a presentation by author Jerrold Landau on his book The Interconnected Jewish Families of Ottawa, Canada.

His book illustrates that the Jewish Community of Ottawa forms a tight web of interconnections, in which all the main families link to each other within two or three 'jumps'.

Aside from adding to the knowledge base of the history of Jewish Ottawa, this publication presents a novel way of considering a genealogical web of interconnectivity, and can serve as a paradigm for other Jewish communities - and perhaps even other communities of similar size throughout the world.
