"Nadine is a powerhouse of energy with creative ideas, a brilliant mind and extraordinary follow through on a multitude of fronts. And if that’s not enough she is most importantly humble and kind. I’m a fan!"

-Pamela Balton, Vice President of special projects at Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, CA


“Nadine has a quiet charisma that makes people feel instantly connected to her. Her Judaism informs not just her remarks but the warmth with which she delivers them. She is more about “sharing” than “delivering.” Her voice is authentic, her enthusiasm uplifting. When Nadine talks, you can’t help but be equally as charmed as you are informed.”

-Pam Janis, speechwriter and author, Gannett

Nadine Epstein shares her efforts to discover her family that had vanished over many generations. She utilized genealogical sleuthing, DNA and genetic testing, as well as “cousin-fishing” to reassemble her family tree. Her adventures took her to shtetls and cities in Eastern Europe and introduced her to an online universe of fellow travelers and close relatives, finally curing what she calls her chronic “familial loneliness syndrome.” Epstein has been writing about Jewish genealogy since the 1990’s.
