The Scandinavian Heritage Society - Sons of Norway Rochester, NY

The Scandinavian Heritage Society - Sons of Norway Rochester, NY Sons of Norway is an organization for all who share a passion for the culture and heritage of Norway. Rochester Chapter is Scandinavian Heritage Society.

The Scandinavian Heritage Society is the Rochester Chapter of Sons Of Norway and as the name may indicate - we strive to preserve Scandinavian culture, history and those culinary traditions! Sons of Norway was organized as a fraternal benefit society by 18 Norwegian immigrants in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 16, 1895. The purposes and goals of the Founding Fathers were to protect members of

Sons of Norway and their families from the financial hardships experienced during times of sickness or death in the family. Over time, the mission of Sons of Norway was expanded to include the preservation of Norwegian heritage and culture in our Society. We have grown since our beginning and are now the largest Norwegian organization outside Norway. We promote Norwegian traditions and fraternal fellowship through the cultural and social opportunities offered in local lodge and district lodge activities. These activities include language camps and classes, scholarships, handicrafts, cooking and heritage classes, heritage programs, sports programs, travel opportunities, Viking Magazine, and outreach programs sponsored by the Sons of Norway Foundation.

Join us in watching Swedishkayt: Yidlife Crisis in Stockholm.
In 1999, Sweden recognized five minority languages within its borders: Finnish, Meänkieli, Romani, Sami languages, and…Yiddish? Could that be right? Comedy duo Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman embark on a journey north to discover what Jewish roots lie in this Scandinavian nation. From language classes to theatrical performances, they explore the culture, history, and lives of the 20,000 Jews still living in Sweden today. Comical yet emotionally resonant, this film explores a history often overlooked but no less important to the diasporic Jewish story.
