Welcome to the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association Website!

Please welcome our new Secretary, Jaime Walden! She is excited to be working with the Association, and looks forward to meeting you. 

The RIJHA website will be undergoing another major remodel over the next few months. Please be sure to check back every so often and give us your opinion on what it looks like, and any suggestions you have to make it more user friendly.

There are lots of changes happening for the RI Jewish Historical Association this year. Make sure to stay up-to-date with all of them by reading our quarterly newsletters, reading our articles and notices published in Jewish Rhode Island, and of course the RIJHA Notes!

The RIJH Notes Volume 17.4 has recently been sent out. If you have not received it, please send me an email at [email protected]
