VIGIL SET — A Community Vigil for the Munich 11, marking the 40th anniversary of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4, at Kehilath Israel Synagogue. It will be led by Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz, K.I.’s new senior rabbi. The 11 members of the Israeli Olympic Team were massacred at the Olympic Games in Munich on Sept. 8, 1972, by the Arab “Black September” terrorist organization. IOC President Jacques Rogge denied repeated requests for an official moment of silence during the 2012 Summer Games in London to honor the Munich 11.
PHOTOS IN N.Y. TIMES — It was almost time for Shabbat dinner last week and Jonathan Edelman was just about ready to turn off his phone when he got a call from the New York Times asking for permission to reprint some photos he took while working at Herzl Camp this summer. Two of his photos are featured in an article written by Talia Minsberg titled “What Parents Don’t Get About Camp.” Jonathan is off this week to begin a new chapter of his life, beginning college courses at Clark University to study, what else, photography. You can see his photos, and read the story, at http://parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/17/what-parents-dont-get-about-camp/?smid=fb-share.
COMING SOON TO STARLIGHT — “La Cage Aux Folles” opens at Starlight Aug. 28 and runs through Sept. 2. The musical tells the story of Georges (George Hamilton), the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely Saint-Tropez, and his partner Albin (Christopher Sieber), who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse Zaza. When Georges’ son brings his fiancée’s conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, the bonds of family are put to the test as the feather boas fly! Audiences will also remember the storyline of “La Cage” from the popular 1996 movie “The Birdcage.” One of the cast members, Danny Vaccaro, is Jewish and from Long Island, N.Y. He plays Tabarro and is an understudy for Albin (lead) and M. Dindon. All performances begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are available online at www.kcstarlight.com, by calling 816-363-STAR (7827) or at the Starlight Box Office at 4600 Starlight Road.
