Beth Schafer
TO PERFORM AT TEMPLE BETH ORR
On Friday, January 26 at 8:00 pm, Temple Beth Orr will be
hosting Beth Schafer, renowned Jewish performer. She is the
only Jewish artist to win the American Idol Underground in a
faith based category. She will be bringing her dynamic music to
Temple Beth Orr to perform and worship during the Torah
Shabbat Service. The Larry Fox Music Fund is funding a
portion of this event.
As stated on her website, “Beth Schafer is an award-winning
songwriter whose shows blend first-class musicianship with a
little teaching and a little theatre into a high-impact
transformative experience. Beth has been blazing a trail in
American Jewish music for 10 years. She has been a guitarist
since the age of 6 and attended the University of Miami School
of Music on a jazz scholarship. But, what makes her music
special is her attention to the universal themes that not only
define Judaism, but many other faiths as well.
“Beth’s infectious energy, well-crafted songs and intelligent
lyrics coupled with a great band has made her a leading act in the
Jewish music world. Her audiences are no longer just Jewish, she
has many fans of all faiths who have found that her messages and
music touch them. It is her universality that placed her at centercourt
for the half-time show at an Orlando Magic game, and
won her the faith-based competition on American Idol
Underground.
“Because she is comfortable playing both her acoustic guitars
and electric, comping or soloing and her voice is silky and
natural, she has been the “guitarist-in-residence” for the Union
for Reform Judaism’s national conferences for the past 6 years.
She is frequently a featured artist at folk festivals and conferences
nationwide drawing a diverse and sophisticated fan-base.”

HOLOCAUST
DOCUMENTARY
On Tuesday, January 9, during the 5th Annual Holocaust Education
Week,Temple Beth Orr will be screening the powerful documentary
film Displaced! Miracle at St. Ottilien at 7:30 pm.The film is about a group
of displaced European Jewish refugees who were forgotten by the
victorious Allies after the war. These refugees were housed at an ancient
Benedictine monastery in Germany in conditions of illness, starvation and
misery that often equaled the concentration camps themselves. Disturbed
by what they saw, Edward Herman and his friend Bob Hillard, two young
American Jewish Army soldiers, set out to improve the survivors’ abysmal
living conditions.They managed to capture the ear of the American media,
the public and remarkably, President Harry Truman, himself. They
effected a startling improvement in the lives of the refugees. This story
helps to restore one’s faith in the goodness of man.
Temple Beth Orr is honored to have Mr. Edward Herman and
Mr. Bob Hilliard as the guest speakers of the evening. Temple Beth Orr is
working in cooperation with The Holocaust Memorial of Miami Beach
and The Rescuers and Survivors of St. Ottilien to bring this FREE event
to the public. If possible, please bring a canned food item for the Temple
Beth Orr food closet.There will be a reception following the program.
Temple Beth Orr is located at 2151 Riverside Drive (corner of Riverside
Dr.& Royal Palm Blvd.) For more information, please call the Temple
office at (954) 753-3232.
