Widowers & Widows Social Group 

Group of Jewish widowers and widows who have lost his/her spouse recently or in the distant past. This is not a dating service or a counselling or a meet/meat group, but it is a group of adult individuals who are interested in doing things with a group of people who have been through a similar loss as opposed to doing things by him/herself.  We meet for lunch on the 2nd Friday every other month at various restaurants.

Vise Family Holocaust Education Summit 

On Sunday, May 31, the Tennessee Holocaust Commission will host a keynote address and book signing with internationally recognized literary author, Lois Lowry. The evening address will focus on the inspiration behind Ms. Lowry’s award-winning novel, Number the Stars. This classic Young Adult novel continues to introduce scores of students to the Holocaust every year through the unforgettable characters of Annemarie and Ellen, the Danish resistance, and the importance of individual moral choice. Please join us as we hear firsthand the people and places that inspired the novel that is a consistent cornerstone for Middle School literature across Tennessee.
