Lunch & Learn with David Shukiar
2026-04-14 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
Session 1 – April 7:
From 7th Grade to Auschwitz, A Journey from Denial to Bearing Witness
In 7th grade, David Shukiar received a flier claiming the Holocaust was a hoax. That moment began a long search for truth that ultimately led him to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek and Terezin. Through photos and personal reflection, this presentation follows his path from encountering denial to walking the death camps themselves, retracing the final steps of Sophia and Hermi van Hasselt, his daughter’s Holocaust “twins.”
This class explores how misinformation takes hold, how truth confronts us, and why remembering remains essential.
Session 2 – April 14
Whispers from Terezin, the Children and the Words they Left Behind
Explore the haunting poetry of the film Through Children’s Eyes in this text-based class that uncovers the deeper meanings woven into the words of the children of Terezin. Together, we’ll experience their poetry and examine how these texts, through video musical examples, inspired and shaped the music composed for the film, revealing the powerful dialogue between their voices and today’s artistic expression.
Join us in person at the Schaefer Family Campus or online.

Through Children's Eyes: Documentary Screening followed by conversation with Movie Score Composer David Shukiar
2026-04-14 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
Through Children’s Eyes is a powerful multimedia presentation that brings to life the poetry and artwork created by children imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp. Their words are set to evocative music, accompanied by their own drawings and paintings—poignant expressions of hope, fear, and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship. The documentary follows the creation of this moving tribute and the extraordinary journey leading to a once-in-a-lifetime concert held in the historic Attic Theatre at Terezin, a space that once echoed with music during the darkest days of World War II.
“As I composed the music for this piece, these children came to life for me. I could see their faces and hear their voices and I became deeply committed to sharing their stories and preserving their memory. After the premiere, my focus shifted to bringing the piece to life in the very place where the poetry was written—standing in the space where these precious children scream to us in silence through the walls of the camp.”
– David Shukiar

Religious School Family Gleaning
2026-04-18 08:30 - 11:30 (America/New_York)
Join us for a meaningful morning of gleaning, the practice of collecting leftover fruits and vegetables from farms after the harvest so the food can be donated to people in need. Volunteers will work together to gather fresh produce that might otherwise go to waste and help ensure it reaches local food banks and families facing food insecurity. It’s a powerful way to give back to the community while spending time outdoors and making a real impact.
All religious school families and teens are invited to participate. This opportunity counts for community service hours, making it a great way to give back while earning volunteer credit.
After we finish gleaning, there will be an optional brunch where everyone can relax, hang out, and reflect on the morning together.
The exact location will be shared the week of the event, but the gleaning site will be in the Delray Beach area near Lyons Road and 441.
Come get your hands a little dirty, make a difference, and help turn leftover crops into meals for those who need them most!

The legacy of the Nuremberg Trials, and the work of Bryan Stevenson, inspire us to believe we can change the world.
By pushing ourselves to get closer to those who are suffering, by changing our narratives so we don’t get comfortable with injustice, by sustaining hope, and by embracing our obligation to do uncomfortable and inconvenient things, we can make our world a more just and holy place.
Thank you to our Lead Sponsor, Howard Guggenheim.
