On April 8th, the YLA hosted their Spring Shabbat Dinner at Congregation Kehilath Jeshuran, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, NY. Eighty young professionals gathered together for a traditional Shabbat dinner before hearing from screenwriter Benjamin August (right). August’s debut film, Remember, follows two elderly survivors as they track down a specific Nazi they remember from Auschwitz. The film, starring Martin Landau and Christopher Plummer, opened in New York City in March 2016.

Thank you to all who joined us at the event and a special thank you to Dinner Co-Chairs Molly and Adam Bachner.
