Israeli To Give Update
On Masorti Movement
Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington
Hills will host an update from Don
Jacobson on the National Masorti
(Conservative) Movement of Israel at
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16.
He will speak on what the movement
is doing to gain recognition and have
an impact on Israeli society and what
Conservative Jews in America can do to
aid the Masorti struggle for equality.
Jacobson is a president of
Congregation Kehilat HaKerem, Adat
Shalom's sister congregation in Karmiel,
Israel.
Synagogue members Ruby and
Richard Kushner of Farmington Hills
have visited Kehilat HaKerem and write,
"We have seen how vulnerable Karmiel
is to missile fire from Lebanon ... This
is a chance to meet someone from Israel
on a personal level, who is committed to
impacting religious equality there."
The Kushners are chairing the Oct. 16
program. It is open to the community
at no charge. For information, call (248)
851-5100.
