Speaker/Shabbat Dinner 7:45pm (following 7pm services): Artist Jonatas Chimen. “Untold stories of the Jewish community of Brazil”: As a teen, Jonatas came to the US from Brazil and began to research his religious background, discovering that he was a descendent of Spanish and Portuguese Jews who were forcibly converted to Catholicism during the Spanish Inquisition. His family’s concealed Jewish identity became an important theme in his award-winning artwork.

Co-sponsored by the Hudson County Regional Council of the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey.
