Join us for the second session in our series when we will visit the Jewish community of Alaska.

Alaska was purchased from the Russian empire only 154 years ago but the Jewish contribution for the development of Anchorage and Alaska in general is remarkable. In fact, the first mayor of Anchorage was Jewish and more so the idea to purchase Alaska was a Jewish idea.

About our guide:

Rabbi Levi Glitsenstein was born in the warm and beautiful city of Eilat, Israel. He received his education in Israel and at a rabbinical college of New York. Nine years ago, Rabbi Levi joined the team of the Alaska Jewish Campus and Museum in Anchorage, a home for Jewish life, history and culture in Alaska that serves the growing Jewish community.

This series is made possible by a grant from the Congregation Ahabat Shalom Religious Fund and other generous donors.
