Beginning this evening, Temple Emanu-El is honored to host our Scholar in Residence, Rabbi Eli Herscher. It has been years since we have had a Scholar in Residence, and it is a very big deal that we are able to do this.
For decades Lee and Arlene Katz sponsored our outside scholars, brought in to teach us at a very high level. This year, Norman and Diane Cohen have taken up the torch, and through their largess, have allowed our entire Temple Emanu-El community to benefit..
Temple Emanu-El is looking for Challah bakers to bake small challahs for a special project we are planning for our congregants.
If you are interested in baking any time over the next several months, please email Mickey Rosner .

Join us to hear featured speaker Ilse Eichner Reiner. Orphaned at an early age, Ilse Eichner Reiner was sent to the ghetto and concentration camp of Theresienstadt. Of 15,000 child prisoners there, she was one of 100 who survived - only to be deported to Auschwitz. Almost immediately, she was sent to a slave labor camp and then miraculously escaped from a death march. Following her liberation by the Russians, and with great resilience, Ilse built a life enriched by family, culture and joy.
In honor of Yom HaShoah, admission to the Breman Museum’s Holocaust exhibition will be free to the public on April 16, 11 am - 4 pm. For more information, visit thebreman.org or call 678.222.3700.
