ers to create the engaging, interactive Traveling Trunk program. “Students and teachers have enjoyed this wonderful hands-on educational opportunity which contains artifacts, photographs, maps, board games and three lesson plans to teach Mississippi students about nineteenth century European immigration to the American South. It also demonstrates how these Jewish immigrants, who have always been a tiny minority of Mississippi’s population, have made an impact on their communities.” Myers said “Teachers who request the trunk are excited to expose their class to a religion and culture they often know very little about. Lessons provide a venue for students to connect with this material and relate it to their lives today.” With a grant by the Mississippi Humanities Council, the trunk has traveled to 12 schools thus far. “I’m so pleased to receive this award, especially since it acknowledges the inclusion of historical material in the Traveling Trunk,” said Myers. “One of the most special activities in the trunk uses records from the Bernheimer and Sons store in Port Gibson. Students are instructed to be the historians, critically thinking about what we can learn from documents that are over one hundred years old. For many, it is the first time they have had access to historical material. This is important because like so many ISJL programs, the materials and lessons in the trunk program are intended to lead all students and participants to understand, engage with, and appreciate the history of cultural and religious diversity in their communities.”

On April 20, Rabbi Arnold Task officiated at a B’not Mitzvah ceremony at Gemiluth Chassodim in Alexandria — for a woman who was born just one year after the first-ever Bat Mitzvah ceremony was performed, and her granddaughter. Sylvia Goldstein, now 90, grew up in a time when Bat Mitzvah ceremonies were new and rare. She recently began studying the Torah, and when reading the Hebrew words had a “wonderful feeling.” She mentioned it to her granddaughter, Mimi Rubin Kirzner. When Kirzner, now 35, was growing up Bat Mitzvah ceremonies were still somewhat rare, so she did not have one either. They decided to have an adult celebration together. At the ceremony, Goldstein wore her father’s tallit, which is over 100 years old.
