At Beth Tikvah

By Lee Henson, Program Director

This past season at Beth Tikvah has been educational and exciting. Our lecture series included insights into art, national parks, the dangers of our world, DP camps, how to age well, and more. We had a musical night and learned how to bake hamantaschen. We toured the Holocaust Museum and watched a film while sharing the horrors of the Holocaust and the bravery of those fighting it with GenShoah.

We had an intimate look at Raul Wallenberg from a Holocaust survivor. Scholars in Residence gave us insights into the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto alongside a vital and hopeful love of learning and the history of several Jewish war military heroes.

We supported Hadassah and collected over 8,000 items to fight the menstruation supply shortage here in Southwest Florida. We partied together, prayed together and hoped for a brighter future for Israel.

I’ve shared just a bit of all that we did together in just a few months! Happily, Beth Tikvah will continue to do more things. We are hoping that you will join us in that endeavor.
