If you have family from a particular geographic area, you may want to look for events by organizations in those areas. Some groups are member only, but others may charge a non-member fee similiar to MNJGS.

Welcome to Exile, a podcast about Jewish lives under the shadow of fascism. Narrated by award-winning screen and stage actor, Mandy Patinkin, the podcast presents untold stories and firsthand accounts drawn from intimate letters, diaries, and interviews found in the Leo Baeck Institute's vast archive. Each episode is a story of beauty and danger that brings history to life — because the past is always present.
