מאגר סיפורי מורשת

Ely talks about how his family members from all over the world made Aliyah; ending up in the same destination: Israel. They came from Spain, Ukraine, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and Iran.

Ely's father's family came from Spain, Ukraine, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. They were comforted by music, cultural foods, and Jewish values, as they were often forced to move from country to country. His mother's family traced back to Russia but her recent ancestors lived in Iran and traveled to Israel on foot in the 1950s and '60s – these three themes were equally comforting to them.

הזוית האישית

Ely Lawrence participated in My Family Story 2021. My Family Story is an experiential and fun Jewish heritage program that involves Jewish youth from 30 countries around the globe. Students research their roots, conduct family interviews and use their creative skills to design original, artistic installations that capture the essence of their family history. Top entries are selected for display in an international exhibition in Memory of Manuel Hirsch Grosskopf, displayed at ANU – Museum of the Jewish People.
