At this Shabbat on. Nov. 15, Temple Israel will take the opportunity to highlight and honor our veterans who have given so much to community and country. Following services, those in attendance are welcome to join for a special presentation by Jordan Palmer of the St. Louis Jewish Light: “Etched in Stone: Honoring St. Louis’ War Heroes at Temple Israel.” 

A pre-oneg will take place at 6 p.m. followed by Shabbat services at 6:30 p.m. followed by a dessert oneg and presentation by Palmer. He will delve into the powerful stories behind the memorials at Congregation Temple Israel. 

“These stone markers, which I was fascinated by even as a young boy, honor the valiant Temple Israel congregants who fought and died in America’s conflicts since World War I,” said Palmer.

Join him to explore the intersection of local history and personal heroism, shedding light on these heroes whose names are etched in stone and memory.
