Remembering Charlotte Zeidman
|
| |
Don't miss a wonderful tribute to the one and only Charlotte Zeidman, z"l, on the Tikvat Israel website, which you can read here.
Two months before she died, Charlotte sat for a videotaped interview conducted by Rimonim Center 8th grader Lital Elfassi for a class project on our synagogue's history. One result of that interview is a series of three short audio clips that are accessible now on the synagogue's home page. The clips are titled: "Celebrating Charlotte" (3:55), "Charlotte's Role in the Synagogue" (1:30) and "TI's Early Days: Charlotte Remembers" (3:46).
