Gifts to the Maine Jewish History Project have enabled us to create
the largest repository of Maine Jewry data ever in one locale.
Donors may choose have their contributions
honor their own Maine immigrant family
or
to be dedicated to the inspiration of a future generation of Maine Jews.

Donations are welcome using the Tzedakah box below or by sending a gift to the JCA, 57 Ashmont St. Portland, Maine 04103 (marked Documenting Old Maine Jewry) 207-772-1959.
