Jewish history spans centuries, continents, languages, migrations, communities, and political systems. 32 Wisdoms Inc. supports its preservation and study through research, documentation, archives, public education, and digital access.
Areas of interest
- Sephardic and Ashkenazi history
- Jewish migration and immigration
- Jewish history in America, New York, and Brooklyn
- Immigration from Europe and the former Soviet Union

- Community institutions, family history, and oral history
We seek to preserve historical materials while helping the public understand how individual stories connect to larger historical events. Where historians disagree, our projects will identify that disagreement rather than present speculation as established fact.
Brooklyn and community memory
Brooklyn has been home to generations of Jewish families, immigrants, educators, entrepreneurs, veterans, cultural organizations, and community institutions. Our work may include historical documentation, oral histories, exhibitions, lectures, public programs, and collaboration with community and cultural institutions.
