Stanley Mirvis: Jews of the Caribbean: Origins and Legacies
         Sunday, April 7, 2019 at 10:30am
              ASU Assistant Professor of History, Jewish Studies

Temple Solel is pleased to host Stanley Mirvis, whose topic is The Jews of the Caribbean: Origins and Legacies. His presentation will invite questions from the audience.

How did Jews get to the Caribbean? What did they do when they got there? How did living in the Caribbean affect the practice of Judaism? Are there still Jews in the Caribbean? And, what is their impact on Jewish history as a whole? This talk will answer these questions and more. It will rescue Caribbean Jews from the margins of history to suggest some of the ways their story and their continued legacy help to enrich our understanding of Diasporic Jewishness and Judaism more generally.

This provocative and interesting program is open the entire community and all are welcome to attend. CLICK HERE TO RSVP FOR THIS EVENT.

COMMUNITY
Support Pardes through the Jewish Tuition Organization.

The Jewish Tuition Organization (JTO) is a state program that allows Arizona residents to redirect a portion of their Arizona tax obligation in support of the financial aid program of their favorite independent school – Pardes Jewish Day School. Participants then receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against their Arizona income taxes.

This is a simple and easy way to help Pardes students afford tuition while you get the Arizona tax credit. When you direct your tax-credit donation to the JTO, just specify the Pardes Fund.

Take the Tax Break for Pardes!
