Who is the Jewish Historical Society of Fairfield County?

JHSFC strives to build community through sharing and preserving Jewish history, heritage, and culture. We tell the story of the human experience through Jewish eyes.

We are a resource for educating, discovering, explaining, preserving, and generating interest in Jewish heritage and history within our community, the greater area and around the world. We strive to partner with local organizations to amplify our efforts in telling these stories to a broader audience.
