Shabbat HaGadol | 12 Nisan 5773 |
What is the origin of this Shabbat's designation as the great Shabbat, Shabbat HaGadol? One of the answers emerges from the courage of the Jewish people on the Shabbat prior to the exodus. They risked their lives to sacrifice the deity of the Egyptians. Mysteriously, G-d ordained a Divine cuisine with specific guidelines regarding the preparation. Why must it be roasted on an open fire and not in a pot? Why not cooking with water? Join me at 5:45 PM for a Shabbat Hagadol Drasha on the topic: Divine Cuisine: Eternal Messages of the Paschal Lamb. Have a Great Shabbat, Rabbi Cohen |

| Israel Bonds and Congregation Agudath Sholom invite you to an evening with MICHAEL SKAKUN AUTHOR, ON BURNING GROUND: A SON'S MEMOIR THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 8 pm FREE On Burning Ground is the true tale of one desperate and brilliant man's journey of survival. The story traces how at the height of World War II, Joseph Skakun, a devout blond-haired European rabbinical student adopted multiple religious and ethnic identities, including those of a Christian and a Muslim, in order to survive. The story culminates with his entry as a volunteer recruit into Hitler's Waffen-SS, the most feared and fearsome of Hitler's fighting divisions. On Burning Ground is a brave and revelatory tale of a son's father who risked it all, and through his amazing odyssey, was keenly aware of the price of such deceits. The author Michael Skakun is a writer, journalist, translator and memorist, as well as a public affairs consultant. Born in Jaffa, he has lived his entire life in the United States. He has served as an editor and columnist for various metropolitan weeklies and was a special consultant to the US Holocaust Memorial Council. |
