"CELEBRATING 175 YEARS OF THE VASSAR TEMPLE" O4-O7-2024 GUESTS: SANDRA MAMIS & MIRIAM COHEN - DESCRIBES THE UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENT.

With Sandra Mamis poetically describing the planting of a tree as bearing fruit for “those yet to come,” and historian Miriam Cohen referring to the past as “keeping our forebears alive,” these Vassar Temple members give an insight into the community they represent and reasons to celebrate their 175 years of thriving in Poughkeepsie. The up-coming gala on Sunday, April 14 at the Grandview on the Poughkeepsie waterfront, will feature the lively, eminent historian of American Jews, Deborah Moore.
