An Evening with Sami Steigmann
Wednesday, May 13 · 7:30 PM · Chabad Israeli Center of Atlanta
Why we're hosting Sami: he is one of a small number of people still alive who were used as subjects of Nazi medical experimentation, and one of even fewer who travel the country talking about it. He has spoken to more than 250,000 people since 2008.
Survival, military service in Israel, and decades of public speaking give him a perspective on antisemitism, resilience, and moral courage that almost no one else can offer. He brings it without sentimentality and without polish — just the truth, told plainly.
“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to be.” — Sami Steigmann
Free admission. Seating is limited.

MITZVAHS THAT FLOAT
An adorable duck between the shelves in Boston
A Quacker in Boston wasn’t even looking at the books when a kosher duck caught their eye between the shelves. “Thank you to whomever placed it there. Peace to all,” they wrote. A stranger’s kindness, hidden and found. From libraries to cruise ships, the good spreads — one duck at a time.
