999: The Forgotten Girls” Documentary Film Screening
999: The Forgotten Girls” Documentary Film Screening
In March 1942, 999 young Jewish women boarded a train in Slovakia believing they were going to work in a factory, reporting eagerly for state service. Instead, the women—many of them teenagers—arrived in Auschwitz. Their government paid $200 apiece for the Nazis to remove them for enslavement. Only a few survived. This is their story. Following the screening, we will discuss the film with the director, Heather Dune. "999: The Forgotten Girls" is based upon a book by its director, Heather Dune, "999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz." We encourage you to bring […]

Synagogue Leadership Seminar: How to Engage Millennials and Build a Vibrant Jewish Future
Synagogue Leadership Seminar: How to Engage Millennials and Build a Vibrant Jewish Future
“L’dor v’dor," which means “from generation to generation," is a central value of Judaism. So, the idea that Millennials just “aren’t interested” in embracing and continuing the Jewish practices and traditions of those who came before them is a challenge, both on interpersonal and organizational sustainability levels. As a result, many in the Jewish organizational world are focused on how to engage Millennials in their offerings. Join Rabbi Dan Horwitz, a research-informed practitioner and one of the Jewish world's experts when it comes to Millennial engagement, for a presentation focused on proven techniques and models to connect with Millennials to […]

National “No Body Talk” Week
As we enter Adar, a month that calls us to increase in joy, we're excited to highlight National "No Body Talk" Week, a transformative initiative from Eden Village Camp and their partners that explores what happens when we take a break from appearance-based comments – whether positive, negative, or neutral. This practice creates space for us to see and honor the divine spark (b'tzelem Elohim) in each person. We're inspired to learn from this approach that turns the expected upside down as we prepare for Purim! Join us in exploring how shifts in how we speak to one another can […]
