| TU B'SHVAT SEDER:
Fruits, Nature & Inspiration
Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 6pm
 Tu B'Shvat is the Jewish holiday to celebrate our connection with nature, trees, and fruit, especially those that grow in Israel. A seder literally means "order," as there is an order of events over dinner to celebrate the holiday.
Come Celebrate With Us!

| Lecture: Joshua Rubenstein
Monday, February 9, 2009 at 4:30pm
Location: CJL
 Joshua Rubenstein, northeast regional director of Amnesty International USA, will be at the CJL speaking about his book "The Unknown Black Book: The Holocaust in the German-Occupied Soviet Territories."
"The Unknown Black Book" provides, for the first time in English, a revelatory compilation of testimonies from Jews who survived open-air massacres and other atrocities carried out by the Germans and their allies in the occupied Soviet territories during World War II. These documents, from residents of cities, small towns, and rural areas, are first-hand accounts by survivors of work camps, ghettos, forced marches, beatings, starvation, and disease. Collected under the direction of two renowned Soviet Jewish journalists, Vasily Grossman and Ilya Ehrenburg, they tell of Jews who lived in pits, walled-off corners of apartments, attics, and basement dugouts, unable to emerge due to fear that their neighbours would betray them, which often occurred. |
