Join us to observe Tisha B’Av and learn from Holocaust survivor Sylvia Ruth Gutmann at a book talk and signing for her upcoming memoir A Life Rebuilt: The Remarkable Transformation of a War Orphan. This event will occur in commemoration of Tisha B’Av, a day where we remember the tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people over centuries.

Sylvia’s memoir, coming out this month, shares her journey from the depths of a painful, dark time in the history of the Jewish people in Europe to her life today in Framingham, Massachusetts. Torn from her parents at the tender age of three, Sylvia’s traumatic experience reverberates with us today.
