    Jacob's Torah: A Dramatic Reading

    Sunday, Jun 8th 2:00p to 4:00p
    "Jacob's Torah" is a dramatic reading of how a 600-year-old Torah was rescued the night before Kristallnacht, how it journeyed to the U.S. and was dedicated 50 years later for the use of students at a Hebrew Day School. Written by the late Jesse Waldinger, the play was inspired by a family story of Berkshire County resident (and KI member), Phil Halpern. Co-sponsored with Temple Anshe Amunim. Proceeds will benefit the joint KI-TAA Hebrew school. Refreshments will be served.
