How did Jews Get to Europe? - Part 2


   Avraham will give us Part II of his fascinating presentation about how and why our ancestors moved around the diaspora.  He will focus on the European Jewish communities that existed in parallel with those located in Israel and then Babylonia. He will discuss how they were first established and why they did not become major centers until the 10th century. Understanding Jewish migration patterns, and the circumstances under which they operated, will grant us a deeper understanding of our own collective Jewish history, and a greater appreciation for our Jewish family history.

Avraham Groll is the Director of Business Operations for JewishGen. After studying in Israel at Yeshivat Ohr Yerushalayim, he received a BS from Ramapo College, and an MBA from Montclair State University. He is currently pursuing an MA in Judaic Studies at Touro College. He is married to Dina, and has three children, Chaim,  Miriam and Shifra.
