Join us at the historic Vilna Shul, in Boston on Sunday 12th May (4pm) to hear about Gabriel Project Mumbai's work with vulnerable children in the slums of Mumbai and celebrate the rich history, vibrancy and traditions of the Indian Jewish community:
Giving of Ourselves
Exploring Jewish India with
Gabriel Project, Mumbai founder Jacob Sztokman
NEW DATE: May 12th at 4:00pm
18 Phillips Street, Boston, MA
Take the Red Line to Charles/MGH
Join
us at the Historic Vilna Shul for a special event as we celebrate the richness
of global Jewish life and the groundbreaking work of the Gabriel Project,
Mumbai.
Founded in
2011, the Gabriel Project works to inspire the worldwide Jewish community to
take action in the slums of India. At the core of the organization are young
Jews from around the world who dedicate their time to teaching literacy and providing
nutrition for children living in Mumbai’s slum. Volunteers are placed in
the program through the JDC's Global Jewish Service Corps.
Jacob’s
organization is a stunning example of someone who combines a Jewish ethos with
the Jewish historical experience and uses it to motivate others to lift people
out of the bondage that is poverty.
If you are
interested in serving abroad, learning about Jewish cultures, or are simply
curious about what it is like to live in India, join us on April 21st.
We
will hear Jacob’s inspirational story of his work founding the Gabriel Project and
afterward enjoy entertainment and refreshments, including
European Ashkenazi foods alongside sweet flavors unique to Jewish India. This
event is free and open to the public, so bring your friends!
What is the Vilna Shul?
Boston’s last
remaining immigrant-era synagogue, the Vilna Shul is now a place of learning
where Jewish history, culture and spirituality are open and accessible to
everyone. It is a must-see historic site for visitors to Boston and a unique
community venue for concerts, speakers, films and Jewish life cycle events.
