We warmly encourage our community to join us as we celebrate this dedication and honor the memories of those for whom it was made possible. \nFor those who may not be familiar with what Magen David Adom is all about: \nWhen a medical emergency strikes\, there is one organization Israelis rely on to save lives — Magen David Adom. \nIn the United States\, disaster response\, ambulance services\, and blood collection are handled by a variety of hospitals and organizations. In Israel\, however\, one organization fulfills all of these roles: Magen David Adom. \nThe workhorses of the MDA fleet are Life Support Ambulances\, equipped to treat emergencies ranging from broken bones to heart attacks. \nBuilt on GM chassis and assembled in Elkhart\, Indiana\, these ambulances are urgently needed each year to expand the fleet and replace vehicles that have been retired from service. \nBecause of its Knesset-mandated role as Israel’s national emergency medical service\, Magen David Adom is the only organization — aside from the IDF — that is exempt from paying VAT on the importation of ambulances. \nWe hope you will join us on April 12 at 11:00 AM for this very special and meaningful occasion.

Kirsten Fermaglich upends these clichés by examining previously unexplored name change petitions. In twentieth-century New York City\, thousands of ordinary Jews legally changed their names to respond to institutionalized antisemitism. While name changing allowed Jewish families to achieve middle-class status\, the practice also became a source of family pain and community stigma. \nKirsten Fermaglich is Professor of History and Jewish Studies at Michigan State University.  Her most recent book\, A Rosenberg by Any Other Name:  A History of Jewish Name Changing in America (NYU\, 2018)\, was awarded the Saul Viener prize for the best book in American Jewish history in 2019.  She is also the author of American Dreams and Nazi Nightmares (Brandeis University Press\, 2006) and the co-editor of the Norton Critical Edition of Betty Friedan\, The Feminine Mystique (2013)\, with Lisa Fine. She was a National Archives Distinguished Fellow in 2022-2023.  From 2016 through 2021\, she was co-editor of the journal\, American Jewish History\, along with Daniel Soyer and Adam Mendelsohn.

Imagine yourself stepping into the lives of these early settlers and experiencing the unique reality they encountered. We’ll explore the fascinating process that led to the formation of Uruguay’s organized Jewish community. Discover how Uruguay\, once celebrated as the ‘Switzerland of America’—a pioneering welfare state\, Latin America’s most secular nation\, and a global leader in progressive thought—profoundly shaped a vibrant\, diverse\, and ideologically active Jewish community. We’ll share the compelling life stories of prominent figures who lived here and reveal intriguing connections between Jewish and Uruguayan cultures. Finally\, we’ll open a dialogue about the current state of Jewish life in Uruguay\, reflecting on its key issues and future challenges \nDriven by a passion for connecting individuals with their Jewish heritage in Uruguay\, Shai Abend Abudara (43\, Israeli-Uruguayan) is a community entrepreneur\, educator\, and experienced tour guide. Holding a B.A. in Political Science and Humanities from the Hebrew University and an M.A. in Business Intelligence from the University of Barcelona\, Shai brings a unique blend of academic rigor and practical experience to his work.

Concerns? Suggestion/Comments? Contact Bobbi Binder\, via the synagogue office.
