Two-part Virtual Series on December 14 & 16 at 3:00 PM ET
ONCE UPON A SHTETL
Inside the Jewish World of Eastern Europe — Work, Wit, and Wonder
The meeting is organized on Zoom.
We meet at 3:00PM ET (USA East Coast and Canada)
We meet at 3:00PM ET (USA East Coast and Canada)
A shtetl — the small market town of Eastern Europe, yet a world of its own.
Tight-knit, practical, and endlessly inventive, it followed its own rhythm and rules. From Poland and Lithuania to Ukraine and Belarus, here Jewish life took its shape — through labor, laughter, study, and daily struggle.
In the shtetl the survival often depended on wit as much as on luck. Talk and rumor could build or break a reputation, and a good name might carry more weight than money. Ingenuity was a daily habit, especially when it came to putting food on the table for Shabbat.
This two-part talk we open a window into that world: its homes and marketplaces, its humor and struggles, the ordinary mix of effort, hope, and endurance that made the shtetl what it was.

Here's what people say:
- Dear Jane,
You did an amazingly good job yesterday!!! It was very very interesting, even after having been to the Hermitage on two different tours, once many years ago on a music trip, and then, of course, with your guiding with the JHS. Not only did you show us the beauty that is the Hermitage, you gave a very good insight in the process of restoration. As a volunteer at the Israel Museum I have had the privilege to attend lectures on the subject, and I have to compliment you on a job very well done!Irene Coster - Thank you for organizing this wonderful experience. Jane was fantastic and shared such specific and educational information for each piece of art which made it very meaningful for me. I very much look forward to further lectures with her. This virtual tour had that extraordinary visual benefit that no people were present to interrupt the beauty of each room we entered. It was fantastic.Sharon Jacobs
- This was one of the most wonderful, extraordinary presentations (all 3 days) I have ever watched! Evgenia's vast knowledge, her clear, informative, most pleasant and enthusiastic way of presenting, the wonderful photos and all the visual materials she used which so helped with my understanding, made this a truly outstanding experience! I so look forward to any future presentations she may do.Laura Kurtzman
