Syrian-Themed Shabbat Dinner

From Persecution to Freedom: A Story of Faith, Resilience & Rebuilding

Join us for a Special Syrian-Themed Shabbat Dinner

Featuring Rabbi Binyamin Hamra
Chief Rabbi of the Syrian Jewish Community in Israel

Born and raised in Damascus, Syria, Rabbi Binyamin Hamra grew up in a Jewish community facing severe restrictions, persecution, and an uncertain future.

His father, Rabbi Avraham Hamra, the last Chief Rabbi of Syria, played a historic role in helping thousands of Syrian Jews escape oppression and begin new lives in freedom.

Join us for an extraordinary evening as Rabbi Hamra shares his family's remarkable journey – how they escaped Syria, held on to their faith and Jewish identity through tremendous challenges, and rebuilt their lives and communities.

Today, Rabbi Hamra continues his family's legacy, working to preserve the rich history, traditions, and heritage of Syrian Jewry.

Experience an inspiring firsthand story of courage, perseverance, and the unbreakable Jewish spirit, while enjoying a delicious Syrian-themed Shabbat dinner!
