S’lichot
The Long Shadows: A Motivating, Moving, and Inspiring Presentation by Dr. Andrew Erlich
Saturday, September 5, 2015
Dessert Reception, Program, Service
7:00 pm
We invite you to experience this special presentation to usher in the holiest time of our year. Through video clips, vintage photos and stories, our member, Dr. Andrew Erlich, tells the story of his Uncle Jake. At eight feet six inches in height, Jake was considered the “tallest man in the world” for many years and certainly, the tallest Jewish person in history. Come and hear how Jake tapped into his differences and turned what could have been a liability into an asset. The Long Shadows teaches a redemptive S’lichot message: the power of resilience, perspective and “the potential that lies hidden in perceived limitations.” RSVP by September 1, 2015 to Edie Bradt via email to ebradt@templesolel.org or via phone call to 480.991.7414.
