Upcoming Events

Sisterhood Book Discussion

Sunday, January 26th

10:00 am

Open to all congregants.

The Sisterhood book club will read Anita Diamant's Red Tent and discuss it in January. In the Bible, Dinah's life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that tell of her father, Jacob, and his twelve sons. The Red Tent begins with the story of the mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through childhood, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land.

Guest Speaker David Morrison

Executive Director

Historic Harrisburg Association

Wednesday, Jan 29th, 1:00 pm
at Chisuk Emuna

Let's take a walk down memory lane with David Morrison who will share the story of Harrisburg's Merchant Heritage and the legacy of Mary Sachs.

David's career as a leader of educational, governmental, historical, and architectural organizations in Pennsylvania has spanned more than 40 years, both as a professional and as a frequent board member or chair.

Since April 2014, David has served as the Executive Director of the Historic Harrisburg Association. Founded 50 years ago in response to two catastrophic events, the devastating Hurricane Agnes Flood of 1972 and the demolition of Harrisburg’s spectacular State Theatre, Historic Harrisburg has been “promoting historic preservation, urban revitalization, and smart growth since 1973!”

David previously served as Assistant to the President of Harrisburg Area Community College, Dr. Edna Baehre, as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Society of Architects, and as Executive Assistant to Secretary of General Services Walter Baran in the Thornburgh Administration.
