3/25  at 9:45am Sacks-Wilner with Dr. David Bell
QUESTION:  ARE THE FRENCH ANTI-SEMITIC?  THE
JEWISH ANSWER:  YES AND NO!”

On Sunday morning, March 25, Dr. David Bell, Professor of French History at Princeton University, will explore this fascinating question as the featured speaker of the fifth annual Sacks-Wilner Holocaust Education Program.
Dr. Bell is an internationally known scholar who is invited to lecture all over the world.  He is most at home engaging in dialogue with the audience.  His presentation will be followed by a lively Q and A exchange with the participants.   The program will begin at 9:45 a.m. at Adath Israel Congregation, 1958 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville, and it will be followed by a dessert reception.

The Sacks-Wilner Holocaust Education Program was established by a bequest in memory of Dr. Arthur Sacks-Wilner and his wife, Esther.   Dr Arthur Sacks-Wilner had a life-long commitment to learning and to Judaism with a strong focus on European Jewish history and the Holocaust.  In his lifetime, he was recognized for his service to this country having received the Selective Service Medal by the United State Congress as well as Special Certificates of Appreciation from Presidents Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard Nixon

Esther Sacks-Wilner was not only his dedicate life partner, she was, in her own right, committed to the welfare of the greater Mercer County Jewish community.  Through her work in Deborah Hospital, Greenwood House, the Sisterhood of Adath Israel, and Hadassah, Esther, like Arthur, saw the value of service to the larger community.  It is the hope of the family that promoting Holocaust education will help establish a world in which hatred and prejudice will be diminished and freedom and dignity are increased.

We invite the entire community to join for this outstanding program. Questions may be directed to the Adath Israel office, 609-896-4977.
