The Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts and the Jewish Studies Program holds its annual Kristallnacht Commemoration Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. with a lecture by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author and senior associate for the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership.
The Kristallnacht Commemoration is generously sponsored by The “1939” Club, an organization of Holocaust survivors and descendants.
Rabbi Telushkin’s discussion is titled: “Why the Jews? Ethical, Spiritual, Historical Lessons.” The rabbi is on the board of directors of the Jewish Book Council and is spiritual leader for the Synagogue for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles.
Students who traveled this summer with the LMU Jewish Studies course “Holocaust in Poland” will perform an original dance and an original musical composition inspired by their experience. Holli Levitsky, associate professor and director of the Jewish Studies Program, will present closing remarks.
A reception follows the program. Dietary laws observed.
Please use the main campus entrance off Lincoln Boulevard.
