Membership

The Indiana Jewish Historical Society is a privately funded, 501c3 not-for-profit organization. The society hosts an annual program and the Hoosier Jewish Legends Awards. Produces a Podcast IN-Jewish History and The IJHS also publishes a quarterly newsletter, The Historical News, and the journal Indiana Jewish History.

An endowment was established in January 2002 to sustain the IJHS. Our success weighs on your support. Interest on this endowment may be used for operating expenses; the principal can only be used for major expenditures approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. Therefore, we continually encourage further donations to the endowment account.

Lifetime $ 1800 and above
