Condolences | Pesach | Living Wall Exhibit | QuickLinks

Our condolences go out to Dr. Beverly Schwartz-Katsh and her family on the loss of Beverly’s brother, Rabbi Gershon Schwartz. The funeral will be held in New York on Wednesday, April 14th at 11:00. Dr. Bev will begin sitting shiva in New York, returning home late Thursday to complete shiva at her home (67 Richard Road in Needham). Minyans, which are being coordinated by the Newton Centre minyan, will be held both mornings and evenings from Friday through next Tuesday morning – times to be announced.
If you think you can attend one of the minyans, particularly on Friday morning, please email Carol Mesch at camesch@comcast.net.

May the Divine Presence comfort them, among all the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Here’s a complete list of all Passover programs, including service times.

The “Living Wall” exhibit commemorates the 60th anniversary of the rescue of the Danish Jews during World War II, when the Danish people saved their Jewish citizens. In October 1943, during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, all available Jewish citizens, numbering over 7,000, were ferried across to neighboring Sweden from Denmark with the widespread cooperation of local fishermen, housewives and children. This occurred just as the Gestapo began its planned roundup of Jews for deportation to concentration camps.

Recounting this remarkable story through text and illustrations the poster exhibit shows how an entire country was able to marshal its forces and through collective action assure that life could and would be protected.

The self-guided exhibit will be on display in our “upper social hall” and features 36 poster-sized panels that tell the remarkable story, in careful and accurately written texts and illustrations. The exhibit has absorbed visitors as it has traveled from the US Capitol, where it opened last fall to a record crowd of half of the US Senate and House of Representatives and their staffs and dozens of embassies and their staffs.

Temple Aliyah is truly fortunate to be one of the hosts of this exhibit in its nationwide tour. Please be sure to stop by and view it.
