Experience the Difference

Emery/Weiner students visit South Texas Jewish Archives

Recently, the Joan and Stanford Alexander South Texas Jewish Archives had the pleasure of hosting students from The Emery/Weiner School. They were accompanied by their teachers Rabbi Laura Sheinkopf and Judaic studies teacher Rachel Silton. It was delightful to witness the students’ curiosity as they explored our historical treasures and gained firsthand knowledge of the research process.

A highlight of their visit was the hands-on activity we organized. I prepared mock archival boxes containing copies of real historical materials, offering the students a tangible connection to the past. This interactive experience allowed them to engage with primary source documents, deepening their appreciation for the importance of preservation efforts.
