The Moses Family were one of the most prominent New York Jewish merchant families of the late 18th and 19th century. Dr. Laura Leibman recently uncovered a fascinating story behind the immigration and migration that contributed to their multiracial identity, using collections from the AJHS archives. Join the American Jewish Historical Society on August 25 as they take a close look at two ivory miniatures, engage in conversation with Professor Leibman, and learn about life in early 19th century Barbadoes, London, and New York City. Melanie Meyers, Director of Collections will then share how AJHS acquired the objects---its own story that sheds light on turn-of-the- twentieth century New York Jews and the Society's early days. Join us next week!
