Temple Beth Torah Shar’aray Tzedek in Tamarac FL.

So many Jews in the diaspora- in fact, the majority of North and South American Jews – have ancestry rooted in Eastern Europe, particularly in Imperial & Soviet Russia. Still, most are not aware of the underlying history of what was once Europe’s largest Jewish population.

Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek’s Men’s Club will be hosting an in-depth lecture on Russian Jewish History on Sunday, October 26th at 9:30 am.

Lifelong learning lecturer Helene Herman will be covering the Russian Jewish journey from antiquity through the Russian Empire and Revolution, culminating with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Many surprising and little-known facts will be uncovered along the way.

Herman lectures on Jewish History and Culture at various lifelong learning venues throughout South Florida. In addition to her position as synagogue Vice President of Membership, she serves on the Board of Directors of the Masorti Israel Foundation.

The event will be held in person in the synagogue’s Social Hall, 5700 NW 94th Avenue in Tamarac. Entrance is through the parking lot located in the rear of the building, off NW 58th Ave.

The fee is $10, payable by check to TBTST MEN’S CLUB and mailed to the synagogue, or paid through the Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek Website.

Advance Registration is REQUIRED. Please bring your photo ID for security purposes. For questions, email office@tbtst.org.
