Yom HaShoah Service
Monday, May 6, 6:00pm
Special Guest Speaker Esther Muller
Every year, Jewish Center of the Hamptons joins with congregations around the world to commemorate Yom HaShoah. We began many years ago joining with B’nai B’rith International in a ceremony of reading the names of those who perished in the Shoah. In its inception, it was brought to us by one of our congregants,
Sam Latner z”l. The next chairperson was Dr. Alan York z”l and after his death Charlotte Sasso took over as chairperson of this very important ceremony.

My Father’s Paradise by Ariel Sabar
In a remote corner of the world, forgotten for nearly three thousand years, lived an enclave of Kurdish Jews so isolated that they still spoke Aramaic, the language of Jesus. Mostly illiterate, they were self-made mystics and gifted storytellers and humble peddlers who dwelt in harmony with their Muslim and Christian neighbors in the mountains of northern Iraq. To these descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, Yona Sabar was born.
