Bet Shira Congregation's Annual Memorial Lecture
Posted by Bob Rosen on 03/20/2018 @ 02:32 PM
Bet Shira Congregation in southwest Miami-Dada County at 7500 S.W. 120th Street, Pinecrest, recognizes the great importance of community involvement and providing educational opportunities in Learning. Bet Shira has established an Annual Memorial Lecture Series in honor of the Late Rabbi David H. Auerbach, who was the Founding Rabbi Emeritus of Bet Shira Congregation.
The lecture this year will be presented this Sunday, March 25, 2018, at 11:00 A.M. in the Synagogue by guest speaker, Rabbi Mitch Chefitz on the topic: Abraham, Jochanan ben Zakkai, and Us: Three Pivotal Moments in Jewish History. Speaker Mitchell Chefitz is the author of The Seventh Telling, a best-selling novel, and The Curse of Blessings, a widely translated collection of stories.
Recently his narrative poetry framed the performance of The Jewish Bride at the Arsht Center. Known nationally as an author, locally Mitch Chefitz is also known as a Rabbi, first at Temple Beth Am, then with the Havurah of South Florida, and lastly at Temple Israel of Greater Miami. He has been president of the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami, and also chairperson of the National Havurah Committee. Rabbi Chefitz is a graduate of Berkeley and also stood bridge watches as a Navy Lieutenant on a destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin. Now, most Sunday mornings he spends time at the Pinecrest Market.
"Bet Shira Congregation established the Annual Lecture Series when Robert and Michele Stone provided a gift to permanently endow the Rabbi David H. Auerbachz’l Annual Memorial Lecture. This endowment gift will ensure the legacy of Rabbi Auerbachz’l and recognize Rabbi Auerbach's distinguished career dedicated to Torah and the Jewish Community,” said Rabbi Mark H. Kula, the Rabbi of Bet Shira Congregation. This Lecture is open to the community at no charge, and you may RSVP to the Bet Shira Congregation office at (305) 238-2601 or email to: [email protected].
