It is the custom in many older Jewish communities for people to write an "ethical will," which is their story and the lessons learned from it that they want passed down to future generations.
The Nosher is partnering with My Jewish Learning on a short online class series to help people collect and integrate the stories of their relatives - and dear friends,too. Not everyone has the luxury of remaining part of their family of origin due to many, many issues. Don't let that stop you from building your family of choice!
I would point out that food and recipes are very large part of Jewish community continuity, and the more recipes you can wheedle out of your moms, grandmas, aunts, and great-aunts, the better.
Don't let our history be erased, watered down, or ignored. Keep it alive.
