Family History Today: Wimpels - Textiles as Windows into the Lives of our Ancestors – Live on Zoom


In August 2023 Yeshiva University Museum (YUM) and the Center for Jewish History completed the digitization, translation and transcription of over 60 wimpels in the Museum’s collections, which can be viewed online here. In this panel discussion, Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek, a Vienna-based freelance curator, author, and professor specializing in Jewish cultural history, will provide an overview of the history and significance of these objects and showcase a few illustrative examples from different regions.Bonni-Dara Michaels, YUM Collections Curator, will discuss how the Museum acquired its wimpels and completed the digitization as part of the IMLS-funded project, and then highlight selected examples from the Museum’s collections. Karen S. Franklin, Director of Family Research at the Leo Baeck Institute, will elaborate on how genealogy researchers can analyze and research wimpels they inherited or those in museum collections to learn more about their family histories.

Co-presented by Yeshiva University Museum, the Leo Baeck Institute, and the Center for Jewish History

The First Europeans
Habsburg and Other Jews - A Wolrd Before 1914


The idea of Europe was anticipated from the early modern period onward by the reality-oriented life situation of Jews in Europe. Because of particular and varying legal conditions, their existence was dependent on a proto-European network system. The planned exhibition and the accompanying comprehensive event and educational program starts out with Central Europe as point of departure to shed light on that approach toward a European community.
