An Evening of Jewish Renaissance: Redesigned

Experience An Evening of Jewish Renaissance like never before! Many certainly remember The Judge Marjorie Yashar and Dr. James Yashar Evening of Jewish Renaissance, which annually attracted hundreds of people to presentations on Jewish life, education and culture on Saturday evenings.

Following a hiatus, the Jewish Alliance has redesigned this evening. Joining Rhode Island presenters will be those from out of state for  a night of diverse learning opportunities, discussions, presentations and interactive experiences. Participants will have a chance to learn about the many facets of Jewish culture.

On the program for the evening of Nov. 14 are authors, representatives of local arts programs, local rabbis

and food and wine experts. There will be a panel discussion on medical ethics, storytelling sessions, and presentations on parenting, politics and Israel. Short films, music and food will be featured, as well as martial arts demonstrations and meditation. Books written by the authors present will be available for purchase.

There is no charge to attend the entire evening’s program, thanks to the generosity of The Judge Marjorie Yashar and Dr. James Yashar Fund of the Jewish Federation Foundation and the Jewish Book Council. Registration for the various sessions will take place from Nov. 1-10. You can also register at the door. More details will be available as the event nears.
