Mondays at JPEF

This Monday, the JPEF staff and crew gathered thoughts and ideas and began to map out our e-Learning, Pictures of Resistance and Educational workshop development.

'Pictures of Resistance' Opening Reception in Palo Alto - Exhibit runs through August 12

The opening reception of "Pictures of Resistance", the Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman, at the Oshman Family JCC Taube Koret Center for Jewish Life was a great success with a mixture of teens, educators, seniors, and the general public in attendance.
