 Cinema Chavurah  It will surely be filled with lots of laughs - and perhaps a good way for everyone to unwind after the New Year. Only misgiving from Zachary is that there is no mention of his favorite comedian of all time - Dick Shawn. Perhaps the filmmakers need to atone for their sins. Nonetheless, should be very fun. If you are interested in attending, just show up for the show around 7, or e-mail Zach: zsfeinstein@yahoo.com. "We will see you at the movies!" |
Enjoy the Fall weather with St. Paul Federation Young Leadership and Beth Jacob Congregation!

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.
 | | Dora & Isaia |
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
