Join the Jewish Heritage Center and the Boston Comic Arts Foundation in person for a moderated conversation with Dan Mazur about the life of Will Eisner, one of the most influential artists in the history of comics, and his work to record it through the most appropriate medium: a graphic novel!

As the Jewish Heritage Center continues to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the groundbreaking book, The Jews of Boston, and looks ahead to the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, we are hosting the book's co-editor, historian Ellen Smith, for a webinar about Boston's earliest Jewish history.

Join the JHC and our Historian in Residence, Dr. Hannah Zaves-Greene, as she explores the experiences of Boston’s turn-of-the-century immigrants through materials and stories from collections in the Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center archives. Learn how the U.S. government’s harsh public charge laws targeted immigrants with disabilities, and discover how Jewish advocates, attorneys, and social workers fought these discriminatory policies.
