The Jewish Historical Society of Lower 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.
