Oswiecim, which comprises a museum of town’s Jewish life and an education- al center that hosts lectures and exhibi- tions on topics pertaining to tolerance and multiculturalism (and also has a café and a beautiful garden). The program placed great emphasis in the need to develop a more nuanced perspective of the history of Jewish life in Poland, one that takes into account the richness of centuries of coexistence together with the more negative and tragic aspects of that shared life. It also placed great emphasis on the need to create a more inclusive (and per- haps more compassionate and reconcil- iatory) historical narrative, in which the history of Jews and Poles is seen as inter- woven one with the other. One import- ant example of this would be to develop a perspective of the Holocaust that takes into account the implications of a re- pressive occupation by the Nazis, which not only victimized non-Jewish Poles in various ways, but also led to the blurring of moral codes (and can’t that be said of any repressive occupation?). That the program was funded by The Taube Center for the Renewal of Jewish Life in Poland Foundation and Senate of the Republic of Poland marks a signifi- cant effort to create and promote a more collaborative response to the past, a dif- ferent dialogue about the Jewish past in Poland, as well as create a shared sense of history and identity for Polish Jews and non-Jews to build on.sw SEPTEMBER 23, 2016 Y 20 ELUL 5776 Y Community 13 Rosh Hashanah Section Congregations Announce High Holy Day Service Schedules Note: Candle lighting times for Shabbat 6:35 p.m. Mincha and Maariv 8 p.m. Break the Fast 12:30 p.m. Afternoon Service and holidays are announced at the end of 7:15 p.m. Simchas Torah Celebration Sun., Oct. 16, Erev Sukkot 7:37 p.m. Havdalah the D’var Torah on page 27. followed by Hakufus and Dancing 6 p.m. Family Sukkah Party 8 p.m. Havdalah & Open House at the The congregations and organizations Tues., Oct. 25, Simchas Torah 7 p.m. Erev Sukkot Service Wolk’s Sukkah have provided this information.

What seems like a simple task is actually quite daunting, given the amount of pro- grams that they want to facilitate within such a short five-month term. During their chapter board trainings on August 28, Drew Corson AZA and Jay Levine BBG were tasked with creat- ing a functioning calendar for the term that would include programs, fundrais- ers, regional conventions and meetings without interfering with school, reli- gious school, Jewish holidays, national holidays or major sporting events. In just a couple of hours, each chap- ter board was able to come up with a working calendar, subject to change, filled with incredibly captivating events. Between the international BBYO Voice Your Vote initiative and the start of the eighth grade recruitment process, our teens have their hands full.
