Dear Friends,
You are cordially invited to meet and attend a presentation by Jeffrey Ohrenstein, Chair of the Memorial Scrolls Trust from London on Wednesday, November 8 at 7:15pm.
In recognition of the (almost) 60th anniversary of the arrival of the famed Czech Holocaust Memorial Scrolls from Prague to their new home at Westminster Synagogue in London, Mr. Ohrenstein will personally attend Philadelphia’s celebration the following evening at Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Center City at which we will proudly display our 3 Czech Scrolls!
I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff this summer when he personally guided me through the incredibly impressive permanent museum at Westminster Synagogue. His knowledge of this world famous collection of rescued Holocaust scrolls is extraordinary and it will be an honor to host him at Beth Am - the only Philadelphia synagogue he’ll be visiting other than Rodeph Shalom!
I look forward to having you join us on November 8th and if you’re still interested in joining our delegation at Rodeph Shalom on the 9th please be sure to register via the link below. It will be an unforgettable evening dedicated to a milestone celebration of the Czech Holocaust Memorial Scrolls which now play such an important role in the life of Beth Am!
