  • Archive

In Argentina JCA assisted Jewish settlers who had founded the settlement of Moisesville. JCA subsequently created a number of new settlements in the provinces of Santa Fé, Entre Rios, La Pampa and Buenos Aires. The settlement reached its peak in 1930, but the difficult life coupled with the attractions of town living caused a decline in the number of Jews in the colonies. By 1966 only about 8,000 Jews remained in the JCA colonies. The papers of JCA’s Argentinean office include correspondence files, ledgers and 7,000 personal files of individual colonists. The material dates from 1890 to about 1970.

Let’s Raise a Glass for Miriam the Prophetess

As opposed to the Passover Haggadah, the Jewish Midrash tells us of the significant role played by Miriam the Prophetess in the Exodus from Egypt.
