UPCOMING EVENTS AT TBE
IAUJC’s 2025 Holocaust Commemoration will feature Jack Mayer, author of Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project. This award-winning book tells the story of Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic social worker who organized a rescue network of fellow social workers to save 2,500 children from death in the Warsaw ghetto. The book also chronicles the group of high school teens from rural Kansas who stumbled upon a reference to Sendler’s rescues and turned it into a play called Life in a Jar. The play was first seen in Kansas and then spread across the United States and finally to Poland, where it elevated Sendler into a national hero.
Registration is required at this link to attend the event at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 24, at Temple Beth-El.

Ongoing study of Jewish tradition, history, literature, and thought is a critical component of Jewish life, and a central, dynamic element of Jewish experience. Under the inspired leadership of Rabbi Emeritus Scott Glass and now Rabbi Caleb Brommer, our community has developed multiple opportunities and venues for us to engage Jewish texts and ideas. Adult Education classes are open to all members of the TBE community free of charge. Contributions to the Adult Education Fund support this program and are deeply appreciated.
Registration is required, just click HERE to sign up electronically. If you prefer, you may also call the Temple office at (607) 273-5775 any time and tell us which classes you'd like to attend.
