When people meet each other for the first time, it’s natural to try to connect through mutual acquaintances. Jewish people often find connections to generations of immigrants from all over the world.

 

This evening, journey with us to South Africa and hear first-hand about Jewish life, culture and traditions there. The Jewish community in South Africa has a rich and varied history, tracing its origins back to the early settlers and developing into a vibrant and integral part of the nation's cultural tapestry.

 

Join presenters Sheila Shaw and Marilyn Silverman with moderator Veronica Maxwell, OLLI Director, as you learn about family treasures and legends. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner featuring delicious South African dishes.

 

Advance reservations required.

For more information, please call Pnina Levermore at 813.291.2253.

 


Jewish Life & Learning provides the community with Jewish connections to educational series, interactive programs and celebratory events.

 

Join us in celebration of Jewish holidays throughout the year. We also have informational resources and opportunities for you to connect with Israel.
