Holocaust Speaker Series: Cheryl Hecht
2021-12-01 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
The Holocaust Speaker Series, held each Wednesday at 11:00 am, features Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors sharing stories of life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Join us on Wednesday, December 1 at 11:00 am via Zoom with Cheryl Hecht.
Cheryl tells the story of her father, David Hochstein, a Holocaust survivor from Cologne, Germany. Rescued by a Kindertransport, he was taken to London when he was 15. The Kindertransport movement was unique in that people of many religions came together to rescue 10,000 mostly Jewish children, bringing them to Great Britain. David’s story is one example of a teenager’s resilience, perseverance, and strength, during the Holocaust. Cheryl has worked as a professional and volunteer in the Jewish community. A graphic designer, she recently retired from the Mayerson JCC after 19 years.

Women Leading Multifaith Engagement: A Sister Act Conversation with Shoulder to Shoulder
2021-11-17 13:00 - 14:00
Three American women of faith, Hurunnessa Fariad, Dr. Sabrina Dent & Rabbi Susan Shankman regularly come together to discuss life, faith, and resilience in their podcast “Sister Act.” Next week they will join the Shoulder to Shoulder campaign staff, Nina Fernando, Cassandra Lawrence, and Uzma Sabir in a conversation on how and why we engage in multifaith engagement work in the United States.
What does it mean to lead this work as women? What happens when we build relationships with other people who are religiously, theologically, and culturally different from ourselves? In our deeply polarized society of siloed communities and echo chambers, is it even worth trying to expand our circles?
Join us for this conversation on Wednesday, November 17th at 1pm ET to explore these questions and more.
