Rabbi Rebecca Dubowe’s Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks, CA will host Jewish Deaf Community Shabbat Dinner and Services in commemoration of Yom Hashoah –  the Holocaust Remembrance Day with Special  Guest speaker, Charlotte Friedman, who is a Jewish Deaf victim of the Holocaust and will share her story at the Shabbat service.

In 1938, Mrs. Friedman was a deaf student in Berlin studying art when Krystallnacht took place, unbeknownst to her…the next morning…she got up and walked to school…saw all the burnt buildings and broken glass…got to school and the headmaster said, “For heaven’s sake-what you are doing here? GO HOME!”.

It will be on April 21, 2006. Dairy Buffet Style Dinner will be served at 6pm and Shabbat Service begins at 7:30pm. Cost of dinner: $13.00 per person. Checks to be paid and mailed to: Temple Adat Elohim 2420 E. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362. Your check will be your RSVP. Deadline is April 17th. We prefer not to take payments at the door due to Shabbat observance.  RSVP’s are a must as spaces will fill up quickly.
