2025 Annual Awards Celebration

Honoring Chapel Haven

Thank you to everyone who joined us on October 19 to honor Chapel Haven for its incredible impact on our community. This award-winning, nationally accredited school and transition program was founded by the hard work and persistence of two Jewish families who wanted a better future for their children. Since then, it has grown into a vibrant community that continues to enrich lives every single day.

We are grateful to all the Chapel Haven students and families who made this program the success that it was! If you weren’t able to make it, you can watch the recording here or on our YouTube page.

Marvin S. Bargar Audiovisual Collections: Oral History

We’re excited to share that the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven is preparing to start recording oral history interviews again! With over 300 interviews in our collection—capturing the stories, traditions, and experiences of our community—we are eager to add new voices and ensure these invaluable histories are accessible for generations to come.

Ways to get involved:

• Be an Interviewer – Help record the memories of community members. 
• Be a Narrator – Have a history to tell? We’d love to hear it!
• Transcribe Interviews – Turn spoken stories into written records.

If you’re interested in volunteering in any capacity, please fill out this form, or contact us at info@jewishhistorynh.org
