Celebrating Our Own:
A Two-Part Congregational Project
The story of Jews in America is the amalgamated story of every individual family — including yours. Join us in building the AJ archive with two initiatives designed to increase
awareness of our own family history while discovering how it intersected with our fellow congregants’.

The Route to AJ
How did your family find its way to AJ? Where did they make a home when they first came to America? And when they arrived in the Philadelphia area, where did they first live?

In the lobby this year, find two maps, one of the United States, and one of Philadelphia. Place a pin in the locations that represent your family’s journey and exchange stories with a fellow congregant. Let’s share the memories so meaningful to us.

Making an Impact One Family at a Time: The Congregation’s Stories
Every AJ family has a story to tell of their ancestors’ initiative, resilience, and contribution. We want to hear yours! Send in a page describing your family’s immigrant journey, their professions, special skills
and achievements, and the legacy they left to your family and community. Include the funny stories, the trials and tribulations, and a photo or recipe if you like. We’ll compile a book to share in the spring for all to treasure.

      
Have you visited AJ's Space for Families? We have spaces for you to step out of the pews when you need a short break. We've also created a new family space adjacent to the main lobby. This space is designed to give families with young children a place to stretch or take a break without going far from the sanctuary. We welcome your joy and encourage you to come to services with your whole family this year!
