The Rambler

The Rambler is the newsletter of the Southern Jewish Historical Society. It seeks to create community among students, scholars, and residents of the Jewish South, encompassing the diversity of our backgrounds and interests.  Features include columns on travel, archives, genealogy, and research grants.  It publicizes SJHS publications and activities with a special focus on the annual meeting. A calendar alerts readers to events at regional Southern Jewish museums and societies. The Rambler invites you to contribute news from your community.
