A native of Hungary, Edith Eger was just a teenager in 1944 when she experienced one of the worst evils humans has ever known. As a Jew living in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, but Edith’s bravery kept her and her sister alive.
Dr. Eger is a prolific author and a member of several professional associations. She has a clinical practice in La Jolla, California and holds a faculty appointment at the University of California, San Diego. She has appeared on numerous television programs including CNN and the Oprah Winfrey Show; and was the primary subject of a Holocaust documentary that appeared on Dutch National Television. She is frequently invited to speaking engagements throughout the United States and abroad.

Sisterhood Shabbat
Saturday, February 6th, 2021
Regardless if we can meet at the synagogue, or are continuing virtually, Sisterhood Shabbat will still happen in 2021! The goal for this event is for it to be led completely by our amazing female members. Hebrew can be daunting, so that is why the call for readers is being sent out so early. You will have plenty of time to practice or ask for assistance.
The follow parts are available:
- 1st – Exodus 19:1-6 (11 lines)
- 2nd – Exodus 19:7-9 (6)
- 3rd – Exodus 19:10-13 (8)
- 4th – Exodus 19:14-19 (10)
- 5th – Exodus 19:20-20:14 (35)
- 6th – Exodus 20:15-18 (7)
- 7th – Exodus 20:19-23 (9)
- Maftir – Exodus 20:21-23 (6)
- (Haftarah portion to follow…)
Some of the Hebrew prayers include: Shacharit, Torah Service, Musaf, Aleinu, Ashrei,
Prayer for the State of Israel, Ein Keloheinu, and Adon Olam
Email us to request to lead a reading or prayer (first come, first served!) or to get help learning a passage in Hebrew!
Our hope is to make it more of a Shabbaton, where we have an afternoon study session, an optional walk, and culminate with Havdalah and maybe a Seuda Shlishi (third meal) depending on Covid. Brainstorming ideas and other suggestions are welcome.
