The Roots of Beth El Temple and the Emanuel Synagogue: A Brunch Program at the Faith Adventist Church
Sunday, October 23, 2022 • 28 Tishrei 5783
10:00 AM - 12:00 PMFaith Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 500 Woodland St, Hartford, CT 06112Join us for a kosher brunch and learn about the roots of Beth El Temple and the Emanuel Synagogue in the North End of Hartford, as well as about the Faith Adventist Church that has been in the building since the 1970s.
The Emanuel Synagogue, our region’s first Conservative congregation, stood at the intersection of Woodland and Greenfield Streets near Keney Park for 40 years, from 1927 until 1967. In 1953, a group of Emanuel families who wanted a synagogue in West Hartford organized Beth El Temple, which opened in 1956. In the early 1970s, the Faith Adventist Church purchased the building and has been based there in the decades since. A panel including David Harris, Beth El's own David Klau, and Helen Nixon will share reflections on the history of the two synagogues and of the church that have shared connections to this building, and a tour of the building will be offered.
This event is co-sponsored by Beth El Men’s Club and the Emanuel Brotherhood. Tickets are $12.

Thursday, Apr 4th 7:00p to 8:30p
How do seemingly unrelated events string together to tell the story of a lifetime? Join us to hear Beth El's Mark Schmidek share the amazing story of his father's Holocaust survival. Mark's father, Norbert Schmidek, was an 11 year-old child in 1933 in Wuerzberg, Germany. He would walk to school with other Jews and Christians. Things would change that year when Hitler came to power. Refreshments will be served. This program is co-sponsored by the Beth El Men's Club, Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford, and CT Voices of Hope. Click in to register! -
