80 years ago, my great-grandmother Lily Ebert was in Auschwitz for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.
Today, at 100, she celebrates with 38 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.
After a year of war and rising antisemitism, we hope and pray for a new year of peace.

The current excavation at Dalheim is essential to extending our understanding of women's religious life in the Middle Ages. As archaeologist Roberta Gilchrist has noted, women's communities have too often been overlooked or undervalued -- by archaeologists AND historians.
