In this issue: An in-person evening with Holocaust survivor Sami Steigmann in Atlanta on May 13, plus a virtual evening on Zoom the next night with Israel Brief and the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel.
On Wednesday, May 13, AIC is hosting an evening with Sami Steigmann at the Chabad Israeli Center in Atlanta.
Bringing Sami to Atlanta matters to us right now. The fight against antisemitism is a daily practice. People who have lived through what Sami has lived through can tell us, with authority, what that practice looks like. He does not speak as a victim. He speaks as someone who decided what to do with his life and is asking the rest of us to decide what we'll do with ours.
Come if you're in town. Bring someone with you. Bring someone who hasn't heard a survivor speak in person — that window is closing every year, and Sami is still here, still on the road, still doing the work.
— Cheryl Dorchinsky, Founder & Executive Director

An Evening with Sami Steigmann — Holocaust Survivor and Motivational Speaker
Wednesday, May 13 · 7:30 PM · Chabad Israeli Center of Atlanta
Sami Steigmann is a globally renowned motivational speaker and a Holocaust survivor. Born in 1939 in what is now western Ukraine, he was imprisoned as a child in a Romanian labor camp in Transnistria and used as a subject of Nazi medical experimentation. A German farm woman who secretly smuggled him milk kept him alive.
He went on to serve in the Israeli Air Force, build a life in the United States, and — since 2008 — speak to more than 250,000 people about what he survived and what he chose to make of it.
Free admission. Seating is limited.

MITZVAHS THAT FLOAT
A pint, a sunset, and a duck in Newport
A Quacker in Newport, Rhode Island was enjoying a pint over a beautiful sunset when a little kosher duck turned up beside them. Nothing grand — just a good evening made a little brighter. From harbor towns to city parks, small joys keep floating: mitzvahs that float.
