Show: Game Show Night Schpiel of Fortune

Game Show Night is almost a tradition at the IAJGS Conference. Specifically, ‘JewPardy’ (Jewish Genealogy Jeopardy) has been conducted at six previous IAJGS conferences to much acclaim. JewPardy is a takeoff of the standard game of ‘Jeopardy’ with certain twists to make more germane for Jewish genealogy audiences. Today, we will play “Schpiel of Fortune,” Ron’s spin-off of Wheel of Fortune. The result is an evening of education, jokes, mishaps, and LOTS of laughter. Not to be missed.
