Kristallnacht commemoration at Temple Sinai of North Dade on Nov 9, 2018 6.15pm
Posted by Suzanne Summers on 10/24/2018 @ 10:48 AM
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
