The Fall Conference will focus on the business, professional, and community institutions that supported the development of Jewish life in New Mexico in the twentieth century, including the scientific and scholarly institutions that hired Jewish professionals to come to the state (i.e. University of New Mexico, Medical School, Los Alamos, Sandia Labs, etc.) and the community institutions that supported Jewish life here (synagogues, the Federation, the Link, the Holocaust Museum, ADL, NMJHS and others), and businesses (Service clubs, Chamber of Commerce, etc.).
What is the Jewish history in the professional organizations? What has been the role of the Jewish institutions in supporting community and Jewish life? Who have been the Jewish leaders in these institutions? What have been major institutional events that have shaped Jewish life in New Mexico?
