Reception with Shalom Lamm, Operation Benjamin

Please join Kesher Israel on Motzei Shabbat, Saturday, January 18, at 7:30 PM, to hear from Shalom Lamm, co-founder and Chief Historian of Operation Benjamin at the home of Judah Rose and Alisa Schreier.

Operation Benjamin is dedicated to identifying American Jewish soldiers who lost their lives during World War II and were mistakenly buried under Latin crosses in foreign cemeteries and across the U.S. Working closely with families and the American Battle Monuments Commission, they conduct meaningful ceremonies to replace these crosses with Stars of David. To date, they have successfully completed 30 replacements in countries including France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, and the Philippines.

Classes made possible through the Dr. H. Harold Gelfand Memorial Institute of Adult Education.
