On February 21, 2010, the Jewish Historical Society of Napa Valley and Congregation Beth Sholom are sponsoring a program by Rabbi Dr. Leo Trepp. This is not a Hadassah event but as it is local, it may be of interest to our members.
Dr. Trepp, in his nineties, is most likely the only Rabbi living today who can claim to have witnessed first hand the brutalities of the Nazi regime in Germany while serving as Rabbi of a synagogue in that country over 60 years ago.
Rabbi Trepp will give a brief overview of the history of Reform Judaism in Germany, contemporary Jewish history in Napa and discuss assimilation as it concerns the upcoming holiday of Purim. You can download the program here.
