Be a Part of History
 
The Arizona Jewish Historical Society is the ONLY organization dedicated to preserving our Jewish history in Arizona now before it is lost forever.
 
To achieve our goal, the Society collects, preserves, exhibits, and publishes, relevant materials such as photographs, letters, diaries, oral histories, scrapbooks, and artifacts having reference to the settlement and history of Jews in Arizona and the Southwest. 
 
We are also restoring Phoenix's first synagogue as the CutlerPlotkin Jewish Heritage Center.  Originally built in 1922, it will provide a place where people of all faiths can come to learn about our Jewish history and culture as well as the tremendous diversity of our state.
 
Finally, we sponsor a variety of lectures and family history workshops free to the public.  Be sure to check our Coming Events section for the latest dates and times.
