Wed 25 Apr, 7-9 pm. Commemorate the final voyage of the "ship that launched a nation" with an evening of thought-provoking presentations and discussions about the Exodus and its historical and theological significance. In 1947, the Exodus - a refitted and well-used Chesapeake Bay steamer formally known as the President Warfield - set sail for Palestine with more than 4,500 Holocaust survivors aboard. British soldiers forcibly turned the ship away when it reached Palestine, and the ensuing drama captured the world's attention and came to symbolize the Jewish struggle to establish a homeland. This program will take place at Chizuk Amuno Synagogue 8100 Stevenson Road. 15 Lloyd Street, Baltimore. Lauren Silberman, 410-732-6400 ext. 29. Free. Jewish Museum of Maryland - [email][events]
