Rabbi Morris D. Rosenblatt Memorial LectureSunday, July 9, 2006 The Rabbi Morris D. Rosenblatt Memorial Lecture featured guest speaker Dr. Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies and director of the Institute for Jewish Studies at Emory University in Atlanta. She is the author of "Beyond Belief : The American Press And The Coming Of The Holocaust, 1933- 1945", "Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory" and "My Day in Court with David Irving: History on Trial". She gained international attention in her successful defense in England against Holocaust denier, David Irving, who sued her for libel for calling him a denier. Irving suffered a resounding loss. At the lecture (attended by over 150 people), she shared her experiences of the trial, and the reaction from the world community. More information about her trial can be found at http://www.hdot.org/ieindex.html. The program was chaired by Holly Lindeman.

Orioles Game Fundraiser for Hebrew SchoolSunday, August 20, 2006 For the third year in a row, an outing to an Orioles game raised money for the synagogue (for the second year, the Hebrew school). A total of 54 tickets were sold, and many were purchased and distributed to the Jewish Big Brother and Big Sister League, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Maryland, and the Boys and Girls Club of Annapolis. Unfortunately, for the third straight year the Orioles lost, on this day 9-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Israel Support FestivalSunday, September 17, 2006 Over $12,000 was raised by donors and participants of an Israeli Support Festival at Kneseth Israel. Proceeds raised went to the Israel Emergency Fund for the United Jewish Appeal of Anne Arundel County. Ethan Halpern led dancers of all ages during the afternoon, and grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, and falafels made from scratch were sold at the event. All proceeds will go be sent directly to Israeli families and institutions that have suffered damage and devastation during the recent war with Hezbollah, which was a major blow to the Israeli economy.
