Welcome to our new Office Manager!

The Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association would like to welcome Kate-Lynne Laroche as their newly hired Office Manager. Kate-Lynne is a Rhode Island native who has her bachelor’s degree in Renaissance and Reformation History from Rhode Island College, with a minor in Art History and Certification in Public History. Her interests include, but are not limited to: travel, building her personal library, and exploring new places in and around Rhode Island. Kate-Lynne looks forward to using her expertise in organization, customer service, and avid enthusiasm for all things historically related, to be an asset to our organization.

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.

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!
