Celebrate Nantasket Beach’s Jewish history at temple’s panel discussion this weekend

The Jews of Nantasket Beach project and the Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center of Boston (jewishheritagecenter.org) are partnering on a free event celebrating summer and Jewish community, past and present, on September 8, from 3 to 5 p.m., at Hull’s Temple Israel, 9 Hadassah Way.

Please join us for a lively afternoon of stories, conversation, and history of the Jewish summer community in Nantasket Beach. The event will feature a panel discussion about the popular Nantasket Youth Center in the mid-20th century with some of those who grew up going to the youth center, like Rhoda Kanet and Mark Levenson, sharing memories of how good it was to be Jewish in this seaside community. There will be opportunities for participants to tell and share their own memories, and a kosher ice cream social.

Along with your stories, bring your original photos and documents of summers past in Jewish Nantasket, and the Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center’s archivist will digitize them for you, as well as offer advice on how to preserve these precious mementos.

Please register online at https://jewishheritagecenter.org/events

Looking forward to seeing you there.
