Israel Update
with Harold Halpern
Tuesday, July 27 at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom
|
|
The (domestic and foreign) politics of the State of Israel change so often that you need a score card to keep track of what’s actually happening. Our own Harold Halpern serves as one of our local experts and tracks events in Israel on an hour-by-hour basis. He writes articles on this subject for both the Sarasota Herald Tribune and Federation’s Jewish News. Harold is the go-to person with any questions regarding Israeli happenings.
Will the State of Israel go to yet a 5th election in the near future? How long can we count upon the present government holding together? Who are the key players and what are they looking for? Will Netanyahu be found guilty of corruption charges? Will the status of the Arab parties change and what role, if any will they play in future governments? Will more Muslim nations recognize the State of Israel, and will more nations move their embassies to Jerusalem? Is there any chance of a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians in the near future and what might it look like? What about the stealth war between Israel and Iran? How will Israel fare with the Biden Administration?
If these questions aren’t enough, bring your own questions with you on July 27 for Harold to address. He has no crystal ball, but Harold will answer them with his personal insights into Israel and the Middle East. Whenever Harold speaks about Israel, we all leave the session more knowledgeable and enriched by what he has to say. Please plan on joining us for another fascinating evening with Harold as he provides us with yet another fascinating Israel update.

An Evening at the
New Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience
with Executive Director Kenneth Hoffman
Tuesday, August 17 at 7:00 pm on Zoom
|
|
The American tapestry is woven of many threads. A nation of immigrants, America’s promise has brought Jews to its shores for almost 400 years. Like others, Jews came seeking religious freedom, economic opportunity, even adventure, in the New World. Most came through and settled in the big northeastern port cities, where they found support and fellowship, their numbers being sufficient to form strong communities.
But what of the Jews who came to the South, through Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, and Houston? What of the Jews who moved inland, peddling their wares from farm to farm through the Appalachian Piedmont and the Mississippi Delta? What of their children, grandchildren? What challenges did each generation face? And how did each strengthen America’s tapestry while maintaining their Judaism?
Join us for a fascinating evening with its Executive Director Kenneth Hoffman as we take a virtual tour of the museum in its new home in New Orleans.
Kenneth Hoffman was born in Houston and raised in Baton Rouge. He earned a B.A. and an M.A. in history from Tulane University, and spent a year studying history at the University of Bristol, in Great Britain. Kenneth has worked as a grant writer for the New Orleans Museum of Art and as the curator of the Louisiana State Museum. From 2004-06, Kenneth served as president of the Louisiana Association of Museums, leading the association through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He recently ended an eighteen-year tenure as director of education at The National WWII Museum, which he helped open on June 6, 2000. Kenneth is currently the executive director of the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, which will open in New Orleans in 2021.

U'nateneh Tokef:
Who Shall Live? Who Shall Die?
with Rabbi Stuart Altshuler
Thursday, August 26 at 7:00 pm on Zoom
|
|
Join with our new Rabbi Stuart Altshuler as we prepare for the High Holidays through an evening of discussion and introspection.
U'nateneh Tokef: Who shall Live? Who shall Die? The theology of the Yamim Noraim from the most famous piyyut/liturgical piece of the High Holiday machzor. When was this central part of the High Holiday service written, by whom and why? Through the prism of the U'netaneh Tokef prayer we will clarify Judaism's attitude about afterlife, it's understanding of theodicy--justifying God in the face of "bad things happening to good people” and understand the power of the backdrop in Jewish history when this prayer was written and by whom. The themes of God's Malchuyot (kingship), Zichronot (Redemption), and Shofarot (Revelation), the three central themes of the Musaf service for Rosh Hashanah are also featured in this brilliant medieval composition.
