How Jewish Frat Boys Rescued Refugees in the 1930s, and Why It Matters Today Between 1936 and 1941, a time when the U.S. sharply limited immigration, the German Jewish Student Refugee program rescued more than 100 Jews.
Members of the local Jewish community (and other interested parties): Over the next 2 Sundays (01/22 and 01/29), there will be in-depth discussions of the wonderful new LEV SHALEM siddur (the siddur for the Conservative movement). The sessions will from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Congregation Beth El, and will be led by our own Cantor Wendi Portman Fried, and Rabbi Michael Panitz (of Temple Israel). All are welcome.
