[Renee Stern Steinig genmaven@gmail.com]

X-No-archive: yes
Andrew Zalewski, a Gesher Galicia board member and editor of our
research journal, "The Galitzianer," will be the featured speaker at
this lunch-and-learn program:

"Jewish Trailblazers and Rebels"
Gratz College, Elkins Park, PA
Wednesday, May 30, 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

We encourage those who live in the Philadelphia area to take advantage
of this opportunity to enjoy Andrew's enlightening and entertaining
presentation.

The story of the Jewish people is replete with tales of perseverance.
Andrew will describe the Galician medical globetrotters, men and
women, who challenged the norms of society in search of education --
often provoking heated debates within their communities. The audience
will travel the world with these trailblazing Galician Jews and unlock
surprising secrets from archival records and maps. The information
will be of value to everyone interested in Jewish genealogy.

Andrew Zalewski is a physician and former professor of medicine at
Jefferson University, Philadelphia. The author of two books, "Galician
Trails: The Forgotten Story of One Family" and "Galician Portraits: In
Search of Jewish Roots," he is a frequent speaker at IAJGS
conferences, JGS meetings, and cultural and academic institutions in
the U.S. and abroad.

Registration (required) is $18 (by May 21), $20 (May 22 on), including
lunch. To learn more and to register go to
