Heidi Neumark’s life changed when a few computer keystrokes exposed generations of family secrets, raising questions she could not answer: How did she never know of her grandfather’s murder? Or that her grandmother was a death-camp survivor? Why had the family history and Jewish faith been hidden? What did this mean for her work as a pastor, community organizer, and advocate with marginalized and oppressed communities? Seeking answers to these questions, Heidi traveled across the ocean and into the depths of her soul to encounter a family and spiritual heritage she never knew she had.


For any who have had secrets, closeted identities, and silence shape their lives, Heidi’s journey is a courageous call to discover what can happen when all that has been hidden is finally brought to light.


Heidi Neumark’s event is open to the broader community, AND it also will launch our next Ancestry Creative Expression Circle which will start this fall. Registration for this program will be in an upcoming Bulletin.

Facilitator

Heidi Neumark, prior to her retirement in 2023, served as a pastor in New York City for 40 years. She is also the founder and executive director of a shelter for homeless LGBTQ youth.


Heidi is the author of three books, including Hidden Inheritance: Family Secrets, Memory and Faith, about the genealogical journey that followed her late-life discovery of Jewish roots.


Retirement has brought Heidi back to writing poetry, one of her first loves. She is married to Gregorio Orellano and they are the parents of two adult children and the adoring grandparents of three. For more information see the website - CLICK HERE
