[BCMA] Join the Jewish Museum & Archives of BC for a Special Book Launch

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the JMABC and over 160 years of Jewish community life in BC with the release of a very special book.
The Jewish Museum & Archives of BC is pleased to invite you to the launch of Looking Back, Moving Forward: 160 Years of Jewish Life in BC
With contributions from over 200 community members, this once-in-a-generation publication will be one you'll treasure for years to come. Through stunning photographs and compelling articles - including many community contributions - this book conveys a detailed portrait of our community history throughout the province.
In celebration of this special event, we're pleased to welcome Keynote Speaker Dr. Morton Weinfeld, Chair of Canadian Ethnic Studies at McGill University and the author of Like Everyone Else But Different: The Paradoxical Success of Canadian Jews, and numerous other works on the history of Jews in Canada.
