Dear colleagues, If you have ever wondered about the passion Jewish genealogists have for tracing our families and why we do it, here's a great video on Jewish genealogy. It explains - in only 8 minutes - why we genealogists do what we do, what drives our passion, along with some getting-started tips - produced by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Colorado. It is moving and inspiring.
It has also been submitted for a grass-roots video competition. If it places within the first five spots it will be shown at a major student and youth-focused conference in southern California. Please help by voting for the video so that this important youth audience will learn about why ancestor-hunting and Jewish history is so important. Perhaps it will inspire more of the younger generations to get involved. Here's the link for the video and voting. It takes about 8 minutes to see the video and only a few seconds to vote for it. http://www.leadel.net/jews-that-do-contest/videos/connecting-your-roots And here is the blog post explaining more from Tracing the Tribe: The Jewish Genealogy Blog: http://tracingthetribe.blogspot.com/2010/02/inspiration-vote-for-this-jewish.html orhttp://tinyurl.com/ya5x6tu Best wishes and thank you!
