This year we will honor the women who brought life to the Yiddish theater in Boston in the early 1900s, including some of the most famous names in Jewish entertainment, Sophie Tucker and Molly Picon.
Join us for a kosher dairy brunch and a spectacular presentation by librarians Helaine Davis and Linda Stern in our historic sanctuary.
Inspiring, funny, and innovative, it's the perfect way to spend the afternoon with the remarkable women in your life!
Guests are welcome to stay after the program for a free tour of the Vilna Shul and learn about our building's own remarkable history.
RSVPs are sincerely appreciated.
