Danny is the son of Lisa and Robert Siemens. He is in the 7th grade at Donna Klein Jewish Academy. Although Danny was not formally enrolled in the PBS Hebrew school, he attended holiday events at the Hebrew School such as distributing shalach manot baskets to the community, and participated in many of the Synagogue’s programs such as ice skating on Chanukah, the Purim party, and events on Shavuot and Simchat Torah. He loves to play basketball and baseball. Danny is very artistic and has an ear for music.

Rabbi Lynn is the Executive Director of MEOR at University of Pennsylvania Born in the Big Apple, raised in Palm Beach, graduate of Duke University and NYU's Tisch Film School, Rabbi Shmuel Lynn figured out early on in his career that most people are really writing and directing in Hollywood on the side in the hopes of one day becoming a Rabbi. He's one of the few who made it. Five years in Hollywood led Rabbi Lynn to the epiphany that what you see in the world and what the world wants you to see are sets on a stage and behind it lies a surprise much grander than the Wizard of Oz. A short hiatus in Jerusalem led to a longer one, and yet again to an even longer one, culminating in his engagement and marriage to Ruthi. MEOR’s mission is to create a vibrant Jewish future led by a new generation. MEOR means illumination. MEOR is dedicated to illuminating lives with Jewish light.

J e w i s h F i l m F e s t i v a l Conspiracy In commemoration of Kristallnacht Sunday, November 9, 7:30 pm
Conspiracy is a docudrama about the infamous Wannsee Conference of January 20, 1942, at which Nazi officials discussed implementation of the "Final Solution." Chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA), the meeting brought together a dozen representatives from state and party agencies involved in the genocide of Europe's Jews. The notoriety of the meeting stems in large part from the fact that a summary of the proceedings- the so-called Wannsee Protokoll authored by Adolf Eichmann, survived the war. Historians have used this document to implicate a broad spectrum of German bureaucracies in the mass murder of the Jews, to demonstrate the leading role played by the SS, and to underscore the cold premeditation with which the killing was conceived and planned.
