Let’s hope that Trump’s victory will lead to a speedy deliverance for all those Israelis still being held captive by Hamas in the Gaza tunnels!

This year, Yom Kippur, on Saturday, October 12, coincides with my birthday. In lieu of traditional gifts or donations, I respectfully request your assistance in advocating for the liberation of hostages held captive in Gaza for over twelve months. Consider contacting your congressman, utilizing social media, or other creative outlets. Your support would be a significant tribute. If you choose to participate, please notify me of your specific actions.

Join Temple Israel for it’s first online Seder.
We are preparing Passover Seder Kits to help people observe the rituals as they follow the web streaming.
Those kits are available first to Temple Israel’s members but also to any Jew in Kansas City that may need one ( on a limited basis).
Watch this video that explains the idea:

This week's Shabbat service, and probably for more weeks to come, will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, March 27, on a virtual meeting site called Zoom. You can get to it on a computer through www.Zoom.us or on a tablet or smart phone by downloading the Zoom app. (There are several versions of Zoom apps. You want the one called Zoom for cloud, which should be the first option that shows up.)

Either way you choose, you'll need to sign up first. Next -- either earlier or just before 6 p.m. -- you sign in to Zoom. Once you've done that, you choose the Join a Meeting option and go to Room 6566732788 (it may show up as 656-673-2788). You can do this before 6 p.m. and wait for the meeting to start.

We will be using the same platform to webcast the Seder

One very important thing: At some point either when you sign in to the "room" or when the service begins its live stream, you turn off your outgoing audio. Namely mute your microphone. This will prevent sound from your end of the connection from being heard by everyone else watching the service.

Join us tonight (05/10/19) to hear Alexander Banks, Masters Candidate at UMKC talk about his research.

Alex will be showing a short documentary about the survivor testimony collection practices employed by the Midwest Center for Holocaust Education back in 1993. The documentary explores specifically the testimonies of two female survivors, and along with presenting their stories.
The documentary also covers the idea of gender representation, and how much (or little) the female survivors talk about how their gender impacted their experience, and what possible details about these women's lives we might have missed out on on account of the testimony collection methodology.
