The Jewish Historical Society of Fairfield County (formerly the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Stamford) which celebrated its 25th anniversary in May of 2009, is an organization whose mission is: To be our communities' resource for discovering, explaining, preserving, developing interest in, and enjoying Jewish history of our region and elsewhere.

We envision ourselves as a link in the continuity of Jewish life—yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Join with us to achieve a richer Jewish experience.  Details and a form to join.
