We are delighted to again have the expertise of Dr. David Katzman, KU Professor Emeritus of American and Jewish Studies, to share with us the fascinating story of the founding, near abandonment, re-dedication and expansion of the Beni Israel Cemetery in Eudora Kansas. Beni Israel is listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. This event was made possible, in part, by the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council.

We strongly encourage participants to bring portable chairs if they anticipate the need to take a seat during Dr. Katzman's talk.

We invite participants to gather at the LJCC in advance of the event at 2:30pm for refreshments and carpooling.
