Synagogue Night

 

Thursday, November 6th, 2014 at 6:00pm

 

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Gary Zola, American Jewish Archives

 

This event is for JMM Members* and by invitation only

 

Just over five decades ago the Jewish community came together to save the crumbling Lloyd Street Synagogue and lay the foundation for the Jewish Historical Society of Maryland and later the Jewish Museum of Maryland (JMM).   We are commemorating the 50th anniversary of the public re-opening of the building in November, 1964.  Since so many Baltimore synagogues have their origins among the congregants  and “dissidents” of this oldest Maryland shul, we have declared November 6th to be Synagogue Night at JMM.

 

The evening will feature a keynote address by Dr. Gary Zola, Executive Director of the American Jewish Archives.  Dr. Zola will speak on “Profiles in American Jewish Courage”.  The program will begin in the Lloyd Street Synagogue at 6:30p.m.

 

Following the program light kosher refreshments and wine will be served and you will be invited to visit the museum, including our newest exhibit The A-Mazing Mendes Cohen.

 

Reservations are essential, please contact Trillion Attwood at tattwood@jewishmuseummd.org or call 410-732-6400.
