Adult Education Event: “Honoring Their Memory: Remembering the Jews of Kamenka, Belarus”
March 9, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Springhill Avenue Temple Adult Education Committee invites you to join us for a short Documentary screening and Discussion with Rabbi Edward Boraz
“Honoring Their Memory: Remembering the Jews of Kamenka, Belarus”
Rabbi Edward Boraz, in his former position as Hillel director at Dartmouth College, led students to Eastern Europe where the Jewish populations had vanished, victims of the Holocaust. After visiting Auschwitz, the groups restored abandoned Jewish cemeteries, as in Kamenka, Belarus. During this program, “Remembering the Jews of Kamenka,” featuring the Rabbi’s journey, will be shown. The film also incorporates a home movie made by an American daughter of Kamenka who returned to visit in 1937, showing Jewish villagers years before their fate. Though decades have passed, this film has an immediacy that reminds us of the lessons we must teach the new generation about the Holocaust, and the past. Rabbi Boraz will answer questions from the audience. Refreshments will be served. We hope you can join us!
