Hazemir Choir Anniversary Weekend

Minimize

Save the weekend of October 26-28, 2012 to celebrate the Hazemir choir’s 26th, and final, birthday. Founded in October 1986, the choir will disband after this gala weekend, which will include a cantor-in-residence and a homecoming for all former Hazemir choir members.  Plan to join us as we honor the choir and its founder, Dr. John Planer.  If you are a former choir member, please contact Ronnie Greenberg or the Temple at 744-4245 for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

  

The Stories Beyond Our Walls

Minimize

In an effort to better document Temple history, we’re collecting stories about the people represented on the yahrzeit plaques on our walls. Nat Zweig is gathering memories spanning the time period of our earliest members to the present. Please contact the Temple office at 744-4245 or office@TempleCAV.org to share your story or send a paragraph or two about your loved ones (even if there's not a memorial plaque) to the Temple at 5200 Old Mill Road, Fort Wayne, 46807. We’re interested in connections to our congregation and stories about the Temple.
