13 Counts
Coming of Age in the Jewish Community
The Washington State Jewish Historical Society preserves and shares the history of Jewish life in Washington, with lifecycle events at its core. From coming-of-age moments to memorials, these milestones reflect the community’s traditions and evolving identity.
This features programs like 13 Counts (2019), where 13-year-olds shared personal reflections on identity and coming of age within the Jewish community, alongside highlights from our Oral History Program and space for community and memorial tributes. Together, these stories honor the past and keep Jewish life and memory alive for future generations.
