Yom Kippur War 40th Anniversary
 | |
Untaneh Tokef
|
Friday night as Yom Kippur begins, Israelis will also remember the day when this most sacred occasion of fasting and prayer was shattered by a massive invasion by Egyptian and Syrian forces and the call across the small nation to report to the front to stave off the destruction of their homeland.
The video linked here is Unetane Tokef by Yair Rosenblum, written in memory of the 11 soldiers from Kibbutz Beit HaShita who died in the 1973 Yom Kippur war.

Free and open to the public
Sky Tinged Red is Isaia Eiger's chronicle of two-and-a-half years as a prisoner in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp during World War II, documenting the extremes of human behavior and highlighting the courage of those who maintained their humanity in a world dominated by brutality.
Bringing this story to publication after Eiger's death in 1960 took the skills and passion of family members spanning four generations, including Eiger's daughter, Dora Eiger Zaidenweber, who spent hundreds of hours translating the story from its original Yiddish. This reading brings together his daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to read from and discuss this moving memoir, which is a tribute to the power of survivor testimony and the transmission of memory through successive generations.
Presented by the St. Paul JCC.
Community partners: Adath Jeshurun Congregation, Beth Jacob Congregation, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies - University of Minnesota, Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest
