Dear Friend, The Jewish Womens Archive is pleased to announce the launch of This Day of American Jewish Heritage, a special daily online feature created in honor of the 2nd annual celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month this May. This Day of American Jewish Heritage will connect every day in May to significant moments in American Jewish history. The dates and accompanying descriptions included in this online feature encompass the range of achievements of American Jewish women including: 19th century stage performer Adah Isaacs Menken, Beverly Sills, Ayn Rand, Susan Sontag, labor activist Bessie Abramowitz Hillman, pioneering political advisor Belle Moskowitz, and U.S. Representative Elizabeth Holtzman. This Day of American Jewish Heritage also highlights significant developments in American Jewish life including a speech by outspoken 19th century Orthodox woman Esther Ruskay, the ordination of women rabbis, and the creation of a 21st century progressive mikveh (ritual bath). What better daily reminder to celebrate the vitality and scope of Jewish American heritage? This Day of Jewish American Heritage will be prominently featured on JWAs own website -- <http://www.jwa.org/>www.jwa.org -- but we are pleased to offer its content to you as a feed that can be posted on any website. Sites will be able to offer daily headlines that would link back to JWAs website for the full exposition of each entry, or to host the entire content for This Day of Jewish American Heritage. JWA is providing code (iFrame) for displaying this feature. It is designed for a column as narrow as 200 pixels. A sample headline will be available tomorrow, Wednesday, April 25. For code or other tools, please contact Ari Davidow: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED], 617-383-6766. We hope you will take advantage of this new online resource to enrich your celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month!
