Temple Sinai is putting together a unique service commemorating the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht and honoring the German Musical Tradition.
Instead of the traditional Friday night music, the congregation will become transformed by the 19th Century German music that was enjoyed by Jews in Western Europe and particularly in Germany prior to the Holocaust.
The service will be enhanced by the presence of a special guest speaker, holocaust survivor Julius Eisenstein, along with other survivors who will join us for service and dinner.
The service will take place on Friday, November 9, 2018 at 6:15 p.m. at Temple Sinai of North Dade, 18801 NE 22 Ave, North Miami Beach, 33180. The public is invited to attend.
A dinner, the cost of which is $18 for partners and $25 for non-partners, will follow the service. For reservations to the dinner, please RSVP to Temple Sinai no later than Wed Nov 7 using the following link https://www.tsnd.org/event/Kristallnacht
Yom HaShoah Service at Temple Sinai of North Dade
Posted by Suzanne Summers on 04/12/2018 @ 11:16 AM
WHAT MEAN THESE STONES? Will be the subject of Rabbi Ralph P. Kingsley’s sermon at Sabbath Eve services on Friday, April 13 at Temple Sinai of North Dade where he is Rabbi Emeritus. Rabbi Kingsley recently returned from a trip to his birthplace in Germany where he participated in the dedication of Stolpersteine (Stumbling Stones) in front of residences once inhabited by relatives who were deported and murdered during the Holocaust. The governments of many German cities initiated a program of setting such stones as a perpetual reminder to its citizens of the horrific events of the 1940s and as a warning of what happens when seemingly decent people stand by in silence when injustice is done. The Rabbi will share personal reflections on what was a very emotional experience for him and his son Evan who accompanied him. The Sabbath Eve Service, led by Rabbi Kingsley and Cantor Norman Cohen Falah, will include special readings and music commemorating Yom HaShoah, with the participation of the Synagogue’s Brotherhood and featuring the lighting of memorial candles. It will be preceded at 5:45 by light refreshments and sociability. The public is invited.
