He's one of the few who made it. Five years in Hollywood led Rabbi Lynn to the epiphany that what you see in the world and what the world wants you to see are sets on a stage and behind it lies a surprise much grander than the Wizard of Oz. A short hiatus in Jerusalem led to a longer one, and yet again to an even longer one, culminating in his engagement and marriage to Ruthi. MEOR s mission is to create a vibrant Jewish future led by a new generation. MEOR means illumination. MEOR is dedicated to illuminating lives with Jewish light.

Y o u t h / T e e n E d u c a t i o n a n d P r o g r a m s Sunday, November 9 Hebrew School & Maimonides Leadership Program 9:30 am 12:30 pm J e w i s h F i l m F e s t i v a l Conspiracy In commemoration of Kristallnacht Sunday, November 9, 7:30 pm Conspiracy is a docudrama about the infamous Wannsee Conference of January 20, 1942, at which Nazi officials discussed implementation of the "Final Solution." Chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA), the meeting brought together a dozen representatives from state and party agencies involved in the genocide of Europe's Jews. The notoriety of the meeting stems in large part from the fact that a summary of the proceedings- the so-called Wannsee Protokoll authored by Adolf Eichmann, survived the war. Historians have used this document to implicate a broad spectrum of German bureaucracies in the mass murder of the Jews, to demonstrate the leading role played by the SS, and to underscore the cold premeditation with which the killing was conceived and planned.

G u e s t S p e a k e r Wednesday, November 12 Daniel Pipes 7:00 pm Topic: The Middle East in Upheaval: Interpreting and Predicting Five tyrants overturned and two states destroyed; that s the results of upheavals in the Middle East since 2011. In a tour d horizon, I offer background to these developments, analyze their significance, and make predictions. In brief: Iranian centrifuges whir, ISIS astonishes even as the Islamist surge falls into disarray, anarchy advances, Kurdistan emerges, Turkey goes rogue, Egypt teeters, America recedes, and Israel stands out ever-more as a villa in the jungle. Daniel Pipes is an American historian, writer, and political commentator. He is the president of the Middle East Forum, and publisher of its Middle East Quarterly Journal. His writing focuses on American foreign policy and the Middle East.
