Temple Israel will host this year’s Intersisterhood event on Tuesday, September 24, at 7 pm. The evening will feature a presentation by Dr. Allan Arkush. Following the presentation, attendees will enjoy a musical interlude by Kaskeset, Binghamton University’s Jewish a cappella group. The program will also include time for refreshments and schmoozing. All members of the community are welcome to attend; the cost for the event is $6. The event is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Victor and Esther Rozen Foundation, Those interested in attending are encouraged to make reservations by contacting their synagogue office by Friday, September 20, to ensure a spot.

Attendees will also have the chance to participate in a raffle, thanks to the generous donations from local organizations. Prizes include two memberships in the Binghamton Philharmonic’s “Best Seats Club,” tickets to a KNOW Theatre production, gift certificates for PS Restaurant, Weis Markets and Price Chopper, and tickets for an Anderson Center concert.

“Intersisterhood is a chance to bringing together members of the community for an evening of connection, learning, and celebration in anticipation of the upcoming High Holidays,” said organizers of the event. “It provides an opportunity for attendees to mingle and enjoy the sense of community that the Intersisterhood event fosters.”

Arkush is a distinguished scholar who has been teaching courses on modern Jewish history and thought at Binghamton University since 1987. He is also a senior contributing editor of the Jewish Review of Books, a position he has held since 2009. “His insights promise to enrich the gathering with thoughtful reflections and discussions,” said organizers.
“This event promises to be an enriching experience, blending intellectual discussion, music and community spirit in preparation for the High Holidays,” organizers added. “Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with fellow community members and engage in meaningful dialogue and celebration.”
