On Tuesday evening, 25 June 2019 ast 6:30 pm, Thomas Burke will present a talk
about and discussion of the Holocaust - the most heinous organized crime of the 20th century,
if not all of human history.
Thomas Burke possesses a deep interest in the Holocaust and has developed courses
about the Holocaust for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Dartmouth College and at UMass-Boston. He
is assisting a Holocaust survivor in writing her life story.
A significant portion of the evening will be devoted to the personal experiences
of Holocaust survivors, their families and neighbors from the the city of Vilna, Poland (now Vilnius,
Lithuania).
Thomas Burke grew up here in Winthrop and attended BC High and Boston
College. He is a writer, author, writing tutor and history enthusiast. His first book, Tales from the
Boston College Hockey Locker Room: A Collection of the Greatest Eagles Hockey Stories Ever Told, was
co-authored with Reid Oslin and is a history of Boston College Hockey.
Everyone is invited to Temple Tifereth Israel to hear about and discuss
the tragedy of the Holocaust. The evening's goal is to contribute to our knowledge of the Holocaust and
to help ensure that such an event never again recurs. This talk and discussion is highly relevant with
today's alarming growth in anti-Semistism here in the United States and in other
nations around the world.

On Sunday morning, 9 June 2019, our Rabbinical Intern, Mimi Micner, will make her
final official appearance at Temple Tifereth Israel when she leads our Shavuot service. Mimi’s stay at
Temple Tifereth Israel has been extremely enjoyable and rewarding. Her Friday evening Family services
proved extremely popular and attracted a large following of young and old who joined with her in the
welcoming of the Sabbath each month.
Mimi will be sorely missed as she moves on to complete her rabbinical training
at the Rabbinical School of the Hebrew College in Newton Centre – she will be receiving her rabbinical
ordination at the end of the coming year. She leaves our Temple with the heartfelt good wishes of all who
have come into contact with her throughout the past year. In appreciation of her contribution to the Temple,
Mimi was presented with a small token of appreciation as shown in the picture below.
