Ohavi Zedek Synagogue

From Ohavi Zedek Synagogue:

Henrietta Szold was one of the most important Jewish leaders of the 20th century. Her long life, from 1860 to 1945, spanned some of the most turbulent years in modern history. The events of that time shaped the lives of millions of people and are woven into the fabric of Szold’s life story.

Long-time OZ member Linda Kopper, who serves as President of Hadassah Vermont, explores the “two lives” of Henrietta Szold, and discusses how her legacy lives on today.

Zvi shares clips from the Wexler Oral History Project, a growing collection of more than 1,200 video interviews about Yiddish language and culture — and also gives us a glimpse of what the future of Yiddish looks like for the 21st Century.

Earlier this week the Ohavi Zedek Synagogue and the Pride Center of Vermont were targeted by Patriot Front—a white supremacist group which placed stickers and posters at these places.

See community members stand in solidarity with others affected by these acts of hatred at the rally that took place February 8, 2019. Members of the community met at the top of Church St. at 12pm and made their way down to City Hall Park for a rally and speak out session.
