I’m so excited my broken Marriage has been restored.

We recently made up, even though it was difficult. It’s been more than a month now, and everything feels like it’s returned to normal. He has begun to treat me better, and it’s been a healing process for both of us. The nightmare that had lasted for almost 2 years before we broke up is finally over. It’s like we fell in love all over again! We’ve both put the past behind us, and are trying to move forward – and for the first time in a long time, the future looks a lot brighter.I can’t express in words how grateful I am to this spell caster ..

WITH HELENE HERMAN

Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus Sisterhood

Wednesday, February 17th, at 7 p.m. via Zoom

By the outbreak of World War II, Shanghai sheltered more Jewish refugees than any other place in the world. This presentation will explore the history of Jewish Shanghai from the turn of the 20th century through the creation in 1943 of the “Restricted Sector for Stateless Refugees” known as the Shanghai Ghetto in the Hongkew district of Japanese-occupied Shanghai. This is a story that many Americans do not know but one that is taught throughout China.

Helene Herman, who holds a B.A. in Anthropology from New York University, is a lecturer for Nova’s Lifelong Learning Institute, FIU’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and FAU Osher Lifelong Learning on a variety of historical and cultural topics. She was previously President of a 400-member lifelong learning SLED Club in Florida that evolved from Brandeis Women, and has recently assumed the position of Executive Vice President of Sisterhood at Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek in Tamarac, Florida.

A Chinese New Year gift pack is included with each registration.

Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus Culture Club Lecture

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 AT 7:30 PM VIA ZOOM

Culture Club is pleased to welcome Shoshana Bryen, Senior Director of the Jewish Policy Center, to speak on the subect: Israel and the Middle East. What Now?

Bryen is a leading specialist in Middle East affairs. The depth and breadth of her knowledge and understanding, along with her ability to clearly present facts without political overtones or wishful thinking, makes her a particularly eloquent speaker.

Formerly Executive Director and Senior Director for Security Policy at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), Bryen was author of the widely republished JINSA Reports. She has worked with the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College and the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, and lectured at the National Defense University in Washington.

Bryen coordinated programs in the Middle East that allowed more than 450 U.S. military officers to engage in discussions of issues that both unite and divide the United States, Israel and Jordan. She also created a program to take cadets and midshipmen of U.S. service academies to Israel for a three-week work/study program giving hundreds of future officers a positive, in-depth experience in Israel. She has taken Turkish and Israeli military officers to speak at the U.S. service academies and has lectured at the academies as well.

In addition to the JINSA Reports, Bryen’s work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, the New York Sun and Defense News, to name a few, and Culture Club is fortunate to have the opportunity to hear her perspectives on this critical and timely subject.
