This year’s Inter-Sisterhood event will be held on Wednesday, May 28, at 7 pm, at Beth David Synagogue, 39 Riverside Dr., Binghamton. The event will feature two performances from Present Arts Productions. The charge for the event will be $7 per person and can be paid at the door. RSVPs are requested by Wednesday, May 21, to Temple Concord at 607-723-7355; Beth David at 607-722-1793; or Temple Israel at 607-723-7461.
Present Arts Productions will present two performances written and directed by Judith Present. The first will be a dramatic reading of “Four Ways to Hide,” which depicts four different characters and their particular experiences in the Holocaust. The second will feature the true story of Sophie Lyons, a Jewish pickpocket from many years ago who “lit the criminal world on fire with her wily con-woman ways.”
“The performances will be interspersed with some lively, pre-recorded klezmer music,” said organizers of the event. “Of course, there will be a wonderful assortment of refreshments and lots of schmoozing, as well.”
Attendees will have the chance to participate in a raffle that will include gift certificates to local restaurants, two tickets to a Binghamton Black Bears Hockey team game, gift certificates for Midway Lanes bowling alley and more.
“A big thank you goes out to all the local businesses that have donated for the raffle!” organizers added. “A very special thank-you to Michael Wright and the Eisenberg Foundation for the generous grant to help fund this event.”
Organizers of this year’s Inter-Sisterhood event are Eileen Miller from Beth David Synagogue, Brooke Little from Temple Israel and Helene Philips from Temple Concord.
