Natan Sharansky and SAFAM Highlight Birnbaum Lecture

The Synagogue Council of Massachusetts is proud to announce that Natan Sharansky, the iconic symbol of the Soviet Jewry movement and current Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), will deliver the 9th annual Connie Spear Birnbaum Memorial Lecture. Sharansky’s talk, entitled "Risks to Our Future: Together We Can Win!," will take place on Sunday, March 11th at 7:30 pm at Congregation Mishkan Tefila, Chestnut Hill (doors open at 7:00). 

The Boston-based SAFAM, with their unique Jewish-American sound, will perform several numbers that evening, including Leaving Mother Russia, written 25 years ago about Sharansky’s struggle for freedom from Soviet oppression.

The Birnbaum Lecture is named in memory of Connie Spear Birnbaum, who worked at the Synagogue Council of Massachusetts for many years towards an ideal of uniting the entire Jewish people - K'lal Yisrael.  The program -- which includes a musical prelude (piano, cello, violin) and light refreshments -- is free and open to the public.  For further details, visit www.synagoguecouncil.org or call 617-244-6506.
