Temple Beth Shalom is thrilled to offer the following adult education session to our congregants and to all those interested from the community-at-large:

Rabbi Lance Sussman returns to Temple Beth Shalom via Zoom on
Sunday, November 14 , 2021 – 10:30-11:30 a.m.
“¡Hola! Coming to America: The Sephardic Experience, 1492 to Today”

For his November program Rabbi Sussman will be sharing a PowerPoint on the history of how Sephardic Jews first came to the New World beginning in 1492. We will look at the expulsions from Iberia and then discuss the role Holland played in the settlement of Jews in the world including South America, the Caribbean and New Amsterdam. Initially the Sephardic experience was dominant among New World Jews but then receded with Ashkenazi immigration. Today Sephardi Judaism is reasserting itself in the New World.

All are welcome to join TBS for this free program via Zoom.  RSVP to https://bit.ly/(by 11/14/2021).
