Edward Everett Hale stated:   "Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success."  
                        Forty-two years ago seven people came together to begin the Stamford Jewish Historical Society now the Jewish Historical Society of Fairfield County.  
                        I was one of those  "Magnificent Seven".  We have progressed and grown to serve as a relevant institution for our community.  
                        We provide historical and educational information and artifacts to showcase the Jewish contributions to our county, our state, our nation and our world. Now forty-two years from the start of our organization, I have become President stating as Isaac Newton is attributed to say:  "On the shoulders of giants". We as a society and as a board must continue to work together for our success.  We must strive to serve as a relevant and reliable guide.   My term will be devoted to serving out the community and honoring those  "giants"  who came before.  Larry F. Ginsberg
President
