From the beginning of Shalom Magazine, I’ve been excited
about collaborating our community and sharing the
voices ~‘ our community, especially younger writers, within
the community at large. Much of the work in this issue is
produced as a collaboration with the Jewish Kentucky Oral
History Project at The University of Kentucky. lt has been very
exciting to learn about the Jewish History of the Bluegrass
Region from the eyes of students, community members, and
faculty and staff at UK. Before relocating here, I was skeptical
of what my Jewish life would look like. I asked myself, would
there be enough community, and what would it be like to raise
a Jewish family here?

Luckily when I arrived, I found such warmth and depth and
found it very easy to find Jewish life socially, religiously, and
in my career. Through partnering with Drs. Janice Fernheimer
and Beth Goldstein, l have learned what gems we have right
here in our community -- innovators, and torch bearers. | feel
a new sense of pride, and just like many of the students who
had encountered neither Jews nor oral history, I have also
found how deeply enriching and life changing it is to discover
the world through new eyes. That is my hope for all of us, that
you will feel a greater connection to the past and the present
of Jewish History in the Bluegrass, and also to know that the
small or daily things you do Jewishly will shape the future and
indeed become our history and legacy. I sincerely hope you
will explore the archives of the Jewish Kentucky Oral History
Project online at https://kentuckyoralhistory.org/ark:/16417/

This issue would not be possible without the unwavering
creativity, diligence, and support of our co-editors Dr. Janice W.
Fernheimer and Dr. Beth L. Goldstein. This issue is an extension
of their five year work with the Jewish Heritage Fund for
Excellence in the creation of the Jewish Kentucky Oral History
Project at The University of Kentucky.

B’Shalom,
