In commemoration of 64 years since the destruction of the Pinsk Jewish
community, and 500 years since the founding of the community, we
welcome all
Pinskers, descendants of Pinskers, and descendants of the small towns
and
villages in the vicinity of Pinsk, to our annual memorial assembly,
which
will take place on November 8, 2006, in the small hall at the Tel Aviv
Cinematheque, on 2 Sprinzak St. The program is scheduled for 17.00. As
usual
there will be an informal gathering beginning at 16.00. It is a chance
to
meet people from Pinsk, and to perhaps find someone who can help
identify
old photos, or who remembers your family.
Because of the 500 years commemoration, the program will be somewhat
expanded this year.
There is an annual membership fee of NIS50, to be paid by all
participants,
which covers some of the costs of the assembly.
