Standing With Israel

We are all outraged and devastated by the attack on Israel that began on October 6th. We will stand together with Israel, come together as a community to support one another, and continue to pray for the people and country of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai.

Learn more about the situation and what you can do.

Shanghai: Holocaust Port of Refuge

Presentation, Discussion & Reception

On February 5th, Emeth hosted an event for the community to learn about the largely unknown story of the more than 20,000 stateless Jewish refugees that fled Nazi occupied Austria, Germany and Poland for Shanghai, China between 1933 and 1941.

We were joined by the curators of Holocaust Museum LA’s recent exhibition, “Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story,” Jordanna Gessler, Vice President of Education and Exhibits, and Christie Jovanovic, Curator of Collections, and were able to meet Bay Area residents with connections to this piece of history, including a 95-year old Shanghai survivor and special guest speaker former Congresswoman Jackie Speier.

The recording of the event is now available.
