The East End Jewish Community Council (EEJCC), headed by our own Rabbi Gadi, is inviting shul members and friends to a program titled “Jews in China,” a slide-lecture by Rabbi Jack Shlachter, who will provide an overview of the Jewish presence in China. The program will be held on Thursday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m., on Zoom.
Rabbi Shlacter served as a High Holidays visiting rabbi-in-residence for Kehillat Beijing, a lay-led congregation there, for five years, starting in 2014. He also led the community in lifecycle events over the course of his tenure.
Rabbi Shlacter, who holds a doctorate in physics, spent the bulk of his scientific career at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Currently, he is assigned to the Brookhaven National Laboratory and serves as spiritual leader of the Jewish Center of the Moriches.
