ADULT ENGAGEMENT

TEMPLE SINAI

Temple Sinai’s Adult Engagement Committee is looking forward with great anticipation to another dynamic and meaningful year. The theme of many of this year’s programs is antisemitism. Certainly not a lighthearted topic, it is ever-important, and, sadly, of immediate relevance in today’s world.

We will be starting off our program year with a trip to the Museum of Jewish Heritage to tour the exhibition Auschwitz: Not long ago. Not far away. This trip sold out quickly, but the exhibition is on view through January 3, 2020. In November, Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso will speak to the congregation during Kristallnacht Shabbat services about his family’s experiences helping to save the lives of Jews in Italy during the Holocaust.

In conjunction with the Jewish Book Council and the Sid Jacobson JCC, in February we will host Ariel Burger, who will discuss his book Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom. In mid-March we will host Christian Picciolini, a reformed Neo-Nazi, who will speak to us about his experiences as an extremist and how he found his way out of “America’s most violent hate movement.” This program will be co-sponsored by our local school districts.

Finally, we are proud and delighted to host Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University. Professor Lipstadt, who is perhaps best known for the libel lawsuit brought against her in 1996 by David Irving for having called him a Holocaust denier, will discuss her current book, Antisemitism: Here and Now. We will be showing the film Denial (in which Rachel Weisz portrayed Deborah Lipstadt) and reading Antisemitism: Here and Now as a temple-wide “Big Read” in anticipation of Professor Lipstadt’s talk, which will take place on Tuesday, April 28. 2020. Mark your calendars!

Additional program highlights include: Alana Newhouse, editor-in-chief of Tablet – the online magazine of Jewish culture, news, and ideas – who will be speaking about her book, The 100 Most Jewish Foods. This program is sponsored by the UJA. We are also excited to welcome renowned Judaica artist Mordechai Rosenstein, who will be artist-in-residence at Temple Sinai for five days in mid-November.

He will participate fully in Temple activities during his residency and will work with all age groups to create a work of art for the Temple.

As always, we will also screen films during Sinai Social Sundays, hold parenting workshops, Sinai Supper Club events, and explore arts and culture. Our perennially popular musical programs will culminate in a cantorial concert in early June honoring the 20th anniversary of Cantor Sergei’s graduation from Hebrew Union College.

We can’t wait to learn and grow together with you!

Autobiography-Writing Workshop

What kind of legacy will you leave? Money? Perhaps, but it can be quickly spent and forgotten.

How about Property? Perhaps, but it can be fraught with repairs, taxes, and aggravation.

Why not think about leaving a part of yourself – in writing – your life adventures, dreams, and maybe even misadventures? Stories about the people, places, and ideas that shaped the remarkable YOU! Do you remember your best friend from childhood? How about your first love? The old neighborhood? These memories are an indelible part of you and your story.

Don’t let them be forgotten!

All you need is pencil, paper, and yourself. We will look back and connect with our future generations through our personal experiences. Neither Philip Roth nor Sigmund Freud need apply.

Myrna Skidell, a Temple Sinai member, will facilitate our journey. She is an author, educator, and Professor Emerita at Nassau Community College. Currently working on her own history, Myrna will share her personal experience of putting her story on paper. It’s about (YOUR) time!

Orchestra of Exiles Saturday, September 21 7:00pm

Selichot film

Some stories get lost in the turmoil of their times. It is often only in retrospect that we can discover the people who truly shaped history. One such person is the prodigious Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman. Orchestra of Exiles explores this great man’s four-year odyssey, which culminates in the founding of the orchestra that would become the Israel Philharmonic. His fascinating story touches many of the major themes of the 20th century and the unfolding drama of his life is riveting.

During the darkest days of a Europe being torn apart by antisemitism

and Nazi aggression, Huberman’s extraordinary efforts saved

hundreds of Jewish families from the approaching Holocaust

and his achievements changed the landscape of cultural history.

Before the Nazis came to power Huberman was focused only on

building his own monumental career, but witnessing Hitler’s agenda

was a call to action that Huberman could not ignore. Huberman’s

personal transformation and subsequent heroic struggle to get

Jewish musicians out of Europe to found this orchestra is at the heart of this film.

How My Family Saved Jews in Italy from the Nazis: Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso When Anthony D’Urso was just five years old he served as a lookout, calling out to his mother when German soldiers approached their home in Formia, Italy. D’Urso’s father, Giuseppe, hid a large Jewish family from the Nazis, at great risk to his own family. According to D’Urso, “He didn’t do it out of ideology.

He did it because he thought, basically, a human being in distress needs help.”

Please join us when Asseblyman D’Urso shares his family’s incredible story of courage, and describes how he was finally able to reunite with the descendants of the Jewish family they saved.

A musical documentary about the amazing story of a group of Jewish songwriters who wrote the soundtrack to Christmas.

Sunday, December 15

2:00pm

Free for Congregants; $10 Non-Congregants

presented by Sinai Social Sundays Directed by Academy Award-nominated director Larry Weinstein, this offbeat, irreverent documentary depicts a journey — a tale of immigrant outsiders who became irreplaceable players in pop culture’s mainstream. They were a generation of songwriters who understood the times they were writing for and who would go on to transform themselves and pop culture at the same time. They found in Christmas the perfect holiday in which to imagine a better world and, for at least one day a year, made us believe in it.

Telling this story through words and song, Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas features rarely seen archival footage, musical performances, and interviews with contemporary writers and performers, as well as connoisseurs of North American popular music.

D-DAY GIRLS Tuesday, January 7

11:30am

SARAH ROSE

$20 (includes lunch)

D-Day Girls is the dramatic, untold story of the extraordinary women recruited by Britain’s elite spy agency to help pave the way for Allied victory.

In D-Day Girls, Sarah Rose draws on recently declassified files, diaries, and oral histories to tell the story of three of these women. There’s Odette Sansom, a young mother who feels suffocated by domestic life and sees the war as her ticket out; Lise de Baissac, an unflappable aristocrat with the mind of a natural leader; and Andrée Borrel, the streetwise organizer of the Paris Resistance. Together, they derailed trains, blew up weapons caches, destroyed power and phone lines, and gathered crucial intelligence—laying the groundwork for the D-Day invasion that proved to be the turning point in the war.

Stylishly written and rigorously researched, this is an inspiring story for our own moment of resistance, in which women continue to play a vital role.

Co-sponsored by Friend of a Friend/Chaverot 20

Lunch will be catered by Bagel Boss.

Free for Congregants; $20 Non-Congregants

In 2020, the world will celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday, and Temple Sinai is no exception!

Beethoven was the force behind the evolution of Viennese classical music, taking it to its highest form and paving the way for the Romantic era. Particularly for the core forms of Viennese classical music – the symphony, piano sonata, and string quartet – the impact of Beethoven’s work on the course of music history could not have been greater.

But Beethoven was a lot more. He was a revolutionary, a visionary, and a man of the world. He had a powerful imagination and brimmed over with musical ideas; he was melancholy, he was deaf; he was bold and passionate.

BIG READ

ANTISEMITISM HERE AND NOW DEBORAH E. LIPSTADT

Thursday, March 12

7:30pm

Over the past decade, it has become painfully obvious that antisemitism is alive and well, all over the world.

Why is this happening? What can we do about it?

“Lipstadt’s book [is] crucial for understanding the dismaying resurgence of antisemitism— on both the right and the left.”

Randy Rosenthal, The Washington Post

24

Antisemitism: Here and Now has been chosen as the Sinai Big Read in anticipation of Dr. Lipstadt’s appearance at Temple Sinai on April 28. Please join us for a discussion on this most important - and relevant - book.

In Anti­semitism: Here and Now, Deb­o­rah E. Lip­stadt, Dorot Pro­fes­sor of Mod­ern Jew­ish His­to­ry and Holo­caust Stud­ies at Emory Uni­ver­si­ty, explores these questions through a series of letters to an imagined college student and imagined colleague, Lipstadt gives us her own superbly reasoned, brilliantly argued, and certain to be controversial responses to these troubling questions.

The film, Denial, based on Dr. Lipstadt’s book, Denial: Holocaust History on Trial will be screened at Temple Sinai on March 31.

DENIAL recounts Dr. Lipstadt’s (Academy Award® winner Rachel Weisz) legal battle for historical truth against David Irving (Timothy Spall), who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. In the English legal system, in cases of libel, the burden of proof is on the defendant, therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team, led by Richard Rampton (Tom Wilkinson), to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.

Temple Sinai is privileged to present

An Evening with Deborah E. Lipstadt Tuesday, April 28 7:30pm In her latest book, Antisemitism: Here and Now, Deborah E. Lipstadt examines the recent rise in antisemitism in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

The book takes the form of a series of letters between Lipstadt and two fictional

characters - a Jewish student and a non-Jewish colleague.

It is a penetrating and provacative analysis of the hate that will

not die, focusing on its current virulent incarnation on both the

political right and left. (The book is our Big Read selection;

please see page 24 for details.)

Dr. Lipstadt is best known for her books Denying the Holocaust, which won the Jewish Book Award, and History on Trial.
