FOR JUNE, WHAT COULD BEAT A DELICIOUS LUNCH, RELAXING SCHMOOZE, AND AN INSPIRING MOVIE: The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler

Havurah Vatik attendees can expect a relaxing and rewarding couple of hours on June 18, as we enjoy great movie and lunch together.

We will present the Hallmark Hall of Fame film, The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler., the story of a remarkable hero of WWII. Irena Sendler was a social worker and nurse who was able to smuggle some 2500 children out of the Warsaw Ghetto, despite herself being arrested, imprisoned, and tortured. Sounds grim, but it has a triumphant ending: Irena survived, was honored by Yad Vashem, lived to the age of 98.

Attendees will also hear about the "Life in a Jar" project begun by high school students in Kansas to research and publicize information about Irena's work and heroism.

A delicious catered lunch follows the program
