Save the date for our 40th Anniversary Gala on May 6th, 2012 and Greek Jews on the Lower East Side
Presented by Marcia Haddad Ikonomopoulos, Museum Director of Kehila Kedosha Janina.
Among the millions of immigrants that came to the shores of the United States from 1881-1924 was a small group of Greek-speaking Jews, a true minority within a minority. Learn about this fascinating community, what life was like for them on the Lower East Side and why, while hundreds of early synagogues closed their door, Kehila Kedosha Janina, the synagogue they founded in 1927, is still open and functioning as a Jewish house of worship.
The presentation will take place Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Emanuel Synagogue, 160 Mohegan Drive, West Hartford. A reception with Greek desserts will follow.
Cost for attendance is $15.00 for members, and $18.00 for non-members. Use Paypal to RSVP by February 28, 2012.
