Become Involved
We invite you to sponsor our Czech Memorial Scroll for one month in honor or memory of someone or something dear to you. The minimum contribution is $360. Months may have multiple sponsors. The sponsors and their honorees will be listed on our website and displayed prominently in the Center.
We encourage communities with Czech Memorial Scrolls to contact us, so we may build on this foundation and create a multisite, digital exhibition. Center director, Dr. Jacob Ari Labendz, is a scholar of Czech-Jewish history and will gladly assist you in researching the history of your scroll鈥檚 community of origin.
