Connecting to Jewish Identity By Exploring Her Family Tree | Fayge Horesh

Stories in Our Roots

As a public historian, Fayge had always been interested in history. It wasn't until she moved to West Philadelphia, close to where her ancestors lived, that she began her search in earnest. Her exploration was also intertwined with her reconnection to Judaism, prompting a deeper desire to understand her family's story.

Fayge shares how delving into her family's history has deepened her sense of belonging and connection to her Jewish identity and community. She also discusses the challenges and triumphs of piecing together her family's narrative, offering insights into the process of unraveling ancestral stories and the lasting impact it can have on personal identity.
About Fayge:
Fayge Horesh is a public historian, tour guide, and freelance writer. Since her days as a six-year-old eager to infodump Benjamin Franklin Facts on anyone who would stand still long enough to listen, she has wanted to share her passion for history with others.
The creator and host of the podcast “D Listers of History,” Fayge brings her research skills, curiosity, and irreverence to discuss important but mostly forgotten historical figures. She joins her audience in exploring what these often colorful people can tell us about ourselves and our society today.
Fayge also teaches private music lessons in the greater Philadelphia area and only sometimes sneaks history in between etudes.
In all the work Fayge does, her primary goal is to make both historical stories and the study of history accessible to everyone. History is crucial to understanding where we are now and how we can build a better world in the future.
