St. Augustine, Florida: When The Rabbis Came To Town VIP Event At Temple Bet Yam, 3 p.m. August 19
Join Rabbi Allen Secher at Temple Bet Yam from 3 pm to 4 :30 p.m., August 19. He will be accompanied by actor Adam Bell who stars in the 6 p.m. one man show about Secher’s 70 year battle against racism and anti-semitism.
Rabbi Secher made history in June 1964 when he was arrested with 15 other rabbis and Albert Vorspan at St. Augustine’s segregated Monson Motor Lodge. This event, the largest arrest of rabbis in American history, prompted national media coverage and immediate passage of the Civil Rights Act. Drinks and light refreshments will be served.
This purchase includes admission to the 6 p.m. show which is also at Bet Yam, 2055 Wildwood Drive, St. Augustine. Complete details on the show are here. For more information please contact producer Roger Rapoport at (231) 720-0930 (voice) or email to rogerdrapoport@me.com
Your contribution helps cover travel costs and other expenses for Rabbi Secher and Bell. This show is a joint production of the St. Augustine Film Society and Heartland Independent Film Forum.
