An Evening at the
New Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience
with Executive Director Kenneth Hoffman
Tuesday, August 17 at 7:00 pm on Zoom
|
|
The American tapestry is woven of many threads. A nation of immigrants, America’s promise has brought Jews to its shores for almost 400 years. Like others, Jews came seeking religious freedom, economic opportunity, even adventure, in the New World. Most came through and settled in the big northeastern port cities, where they found support and fellowship, their numbers being sufficient to form strong communities.
But what of the Jews who came to the South, through Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, and Houston? What of the Jews who moved inland, peddling their wares from farm to farm through the Appalachian Piedmont and the Mississippi Delta? What of their children, grandchildren? What challenges did each generation face? And how did each strengthen America’s tapestry while maintaining their Judaism?
Join us for a fascinating evening with its Executive Director Kenneth Hoffman as we take a virtual tour of the museum in its new home in New Orleans.
Kenneth Hoffman was born in Houston and raised in Baton Rouge. He earned a B.A. and an M.A. in history from Tulane University, and spent a year studying history at the University of Bristol, in Great Britain. Kenneth has worked as a grant writer for the New Orleans Museum of Art and as the curator of the Louisiana State Museum. From 2004-06, Kenneth served as president of the Louisiana Association of Museums, leading the association through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He recently ended an eighteen-year tenure as director of education at The National WWII Museum, which he helped open on June 6, 2000. Kenneth is currently the executive director of the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, which will open in New Orleans in 2021.

U'nateneh Tokef:
Who Shall Live? Who Shall Die?
with Rabbi Stuart Altshuler
Thursday, August 26 at 7:00 pm on Zoom
|
|
Join with our new Rabbi Stuart Altshuler as we prepare for the High Holidays through an evening of discussion and introspection.
U'nateneh Tokef: Who shall Live? Who shall Die? The theology of the Yamim Noraim from the most famous piyyut/liturgical piece of the High Holiday machzor. When was this central part of the High Holiday service written, by whom and why? Through the prism of the U'netaneh Tokef prayer we will clarify Judaism's attitude about afterlife, it's understanding of theodicy--justifying God in the face of "bad things happening to good people” and understand the power of the backdrop in Jewish history when this prayer was written and by whom. The themes of God's Malchuyot (kingship), Zichronot (Redemption), and Shofarot (Revelation), the three central themes of the Musaf service for Rosh Hashanah are also featured in this brilliant medieval composition.

TBS DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER SERIES
with Israeli Ambassador to the UAE
Ambassador Eitan Na'eh
One Year since the Abrahamic Accord:
Past, Present and Future Prospects
Sunday, September 26 at 10:00 a.m. on Zoom
|
|
We are delighted to announce a brand-new series at TBS titled The Distinguished Speakers Series. Each month we will feature an outstanding speaker from a different background from around the world . These programs will take place via Zoom and will be free to the public. On Sunday, September 26 at 10:00 am, TBS will welcome Eitan Na’eh, Israeli’s first Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates. This program will take place as a webinar and will require all attendees to register in order to obtain the webinar link. The deadline for registering is Friday, September 24. By 11:00 am.
Israel and the UAE signed the historic Abrahamic Accords normalization agreement at the White House on September 15, 2020. Israel has also normalized relations with Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan heralding in a new era of Arab Israeli cooperation. Since the UAE and Israel formalized ties, tens of thousands of Israeli tourists have flocked to the UAE and hundreds of millions of dollars in trade has already occurred. The two countries have signed dozens of agreements in more than 15 different sectors.
Born in Israel in 1963, Ambassador Na’eh studied Middle Eastern History and political science at Tel Aviv University. Shortly after completion of his degree, Na’eh joined the Foreign Office in August 1991. Na’eh served in Turkey as Second and later First Secretary (1993-1997) and in Chicago as Deputy Council General. He was then appointed Ambassador to Azerbaijan (2001-2005) and later served as an Deputy Director of the National Security Council and as Senior Director of the Diplomatic Secretariat (2009-2013) at the Prime Minister’s Office. From 2013-2016, he served as Head of the Mission and Charg e d”Affairs in London. In 2016, he was appointed Ambassador to Turkey and served in that position until 2018 was asked to leave in following American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and clashes occurred along the border with Gaza. Last December, Na’eh was appointed Head of the Israeli Mission to Abu Dhabi and is now Israel’s first Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates. Ambassador Na’eh is married with two children.
Al Treidel, Chairman of TBE’s Program and Education Committee credits this new and innovative series to our new Rabbi Stuart Altshuler. “His many contacts with accomplished individuals from so many different walks of life will serve to enrich the entire Sarasota Jewish Community with outstanding presentations on a monthly basis. We are so very lucky to have such an incredible religious leader here at TBS.” Future speakers will be author Thomas Harding who wrote” Hans and Rudolf: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Kommandant of Auschwitz,” Austrian Ambassador Christoph Weidinger and Biblical scholar John Barton.
This event is at no charge, but registration is REQUIRED.
