SHALOM!

**Due to the moving of our office, we will not have phone or internet access from Monday 9/18 to Wednesday 9/20. The office and library will be closed from 9/18 to 9/22 for Rosh Hashanah.**

It’s Happening!

We’re finally moving.

The RIJHA will be moving THIS summer

to a beautiful, brand-new space.

Are you interested in learning about our ongoing Capital Campaign to fund the construction and move?

General donations and naming opportunities are available.

Contact the Treasurer (David Bazar), the President (Ruth Breindel) or the RIJHA Office for more details.

Check out our Facebook page for construction updates!

We will still be located within the Dwares JCC building, but after the construction and the move we will be on the bottom floor just to the right of the new back entrance to the JCC building (it’s where the RI Holocaust Museum used to be located).

After the move is over, details about a celebratory open-house/party in the new space will be forthcoming. Stay tuned for updates!
