| World famous actor, singer, and lecturer Theodore Bikel returned to Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill, NJ, on April 19, 2004 to participate in the Community Yom Hashoah Holocaust Memorial observance sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Southern New Jersey. For Bikel, it was a return visit to the largest Reform synagogue in New Jersey. The singer had appeared as a headline performer at Temple Emanuel's 35th Anniversary celebration in
1984 (see archive photo below.)
During his visit in April, he reunited with participants in the photo taken on the earlier occasion. From left: Lee Hymerling; Shirley Chess; Bikel; Eileen Friedland; and Rabbi Jerome P. David. Missing from the reunion photo is Rabbi Edwin N.
Soslow, who died in 1987. |
