Dear Jewish community-

Thank you to everyone who came out to Israel@65 and to all the volunteers who helped make it a great celebration! Together we:

• Remembered the fallen Israeli Defense Force soldiers with a commemoration led by the Louisville Beit Sefer Yachad. • Walked with Israel as a community. • Participated in family activities with the Speed Art Museum. • Learned Krav Maga and listened to Israeli folk music. • Enjoyed great food prepared by Shiraz.

It was a great day and we look forward to the next Yom Ha’Azmaut!

-Faina and Ariel Kronenberg Israel@65 co-chairs April 26, 2013  16 IYAR 5773  Community 9

There were students there, placing red roses by my family’s stones. They want them to know, so it doesn’t happen again.” At St. Radagonde, in France, a new family has taken over the farm. The new owners showed John and Renée around the place. It originally was a convent, and the Rothschild family had used the small chapel on the grounds as a synagogue. When the Americans came, they saw the chapel from across the river and thought it was a bunker; they shelled it to the ground. The new owners of St. Radagonde have cleared that space. The founda- tions of the chapel-synagogue stand now as a border for a memorial they have erected, a beautiful monument naming all the Rothschild family mem- bers and their guests who were taken away by the Nazis in July, 1942. The Rothschild and Bodenheimer families are remembered, and not just by John and Renée, their lone surviv- ing members. They now have American grandchildren and great-grandchil- dren, nieces and nephews and cous- ins. And even those in their own com- munities, where they were betrayed or simply left to fate by the indifference of their neighbors, now remember and honor their legacy of determination, faith, family, and life.
