THIS FRIDAY NIGHT! Roundtable discussion with Cadets & Midshipmen from Auschwitz Jewish Center Military Program Friday, November 11th
6:30pm Services
7:30pm Light Dinner
Focusing on the Holocaust and related contemporary moral and ethical considerations, these participants get an authentic learning experience for future military officers that extends beyond what they are taught in a classroom. Within this framework, the Academy's students are challenged to understand what can happen in the absence of open and democratic governing institutions when evil is given free rein, when fear overpowers ethics, and when democratic ideals are not defended. Discussion will follow services at Temple Sholom. No charge. RSVP by calling Alice Schoen at (203) 542-7165 or email her at alice.schoen@templesholom.com. This program is presented as part of Temple Sholom's week-long series "Breaking the Silence: A Response to Genocide" in partnership with Christ Church, the Sholom Center, the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, with support from the Westchester Jewish Council, the Interfaith Council of Southwestern CT, UJA-Federation of New York, Greenwich Reform Synagogue, Greenwich Fellowship of Clergy, St. Michael the Archangel Church, Congregation Agudath Sholom, and St. Catherine of Siena Church. To make a reservation, please call Alice Schoen at (203) 542-7165 or email her at alice.schoen@templesholom.com. |
