Tikvah - Our Hope for the Future!

Sunday, March 7, 2021 23 Adar 5781

7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

The historic legacy of Congregation Beth Yeshurun is unique in its excellence among American Synagogues. In recognition of our rich history and the supporters of the Congregation Beth Yeshurun Legacy Society, we are excited to host Tikvah . . . Our hope for the future!, an incredible virtual Spring Concert featuring globally recognized musicians and opera singers, together with our very own Cantor Meir Finkelstein, who will present a magnificent musical performance.  This memorable evening is chaired by Cindy Weinstein and Sharon Krost and generously underwritten by Glen Rosenbaum. 
 
This year marks the 75th anniversary of our synagogue as we know it today.  Beth Yeshurun was formed in 1946 through the merger of two predecessor Synagogues, Adath Yeshurun, an Orthodox Congregation formed in 1891, and Beth El, a Conservative Congregation formed in 1925. Through an innovative compromise that facilitated the merger, Beth Yeshurun was formed to serve the needs of both Conservative and Orthodox Judaism.   
 
Beth Yeshurun’s culture placed it at the forefront of national innovation. Beth Yeshurun’s first Senior Rabbi, William S. Malev, was prominent in the Conservative Movement and a leader in advancing women’s ritual rights, with full gender equality subsequently achieved under Rabbi Jack Segal. Expounding on this inclusiveness, Rabbi David B. Rosen, devoted over 22 years at the helm of the synagogue’s pulpit to expand ritual rights equality to all regardless of sexual orientation. And as we look to the future, we are so grateful to Rabbi Brian Strauss for his exceptional leadership through the pandemic and on the heels of our synagogue’s recovery in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. 
 
Supporting our synagogue’s endowment as a member of our Legacy Society is a meaningful way to ensure the future of Congregation Beth Yeshurun. Perhaps you would like to make a gift in memory of a loved one or in the honor or a family member. Whether it be through a cash contribution, assignment of an insurance policy or retirement plan or even an estate gift, we are tremendously grateful for your support and assistance in securing our Congregation for generations to come.   
 
We look forward to celebrating the Congregation Beth Yeshurun Legacy Society with you at Tikvah . . . Our hope for the future!, our Spring concert online, on March 7th.
