Temple Sinai Evening Shavuot Program, a View of Jewish Oppression

Friday, May 26, 7:00 p.m.

4631 S. Lockwood Ridge Road (enter only from Proctor Road), Sarasota, FL 34231
After the welcome reception at 5:00 p.m. and the inspiring Erev Shabbat service at 6:00 p.m., Temple Sinai commemorates Tikkun Lel Shavuot, the tradition of study, through discussion curated by Chazzan Cliff Abramson about the intersection between oppression and bias, comparing the film, The People v. Leo Frank, and the Tony award-winning Broadway musical, Parade, both telling the story of Jewish-American businessman, Leo Frank, who was convicted of murder in 1913. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction but four months later he was abducted and lynched. The welcome reception and service are free and open to the community. A dairy dinner following the service costs $18 for members and $25 for non-members. To register visit, templesinai-sarasota.org.
