Summer Speaker—How A Brass Plaque Kindles Healing with with Rabbi Michael Meyerstein
Just weeks ago, Rabbi Michael Meyerstein, father of B’nai Israel member Avi Meyerstein, returned from a transformational journey to Leipzig. It was there that he re-examined conflicting emotions about Germany and Germans, learned a surprising new version of his family’s history, and dared himself to engage “the Other.” See you there to hear about this powerful experience.
Rabbi Meyerstein retired from two fulfilling careers. The first as pulpit rabbi in TX, PA, and MD. The second in non-profit management and fundraising. He has travelled widely, including countless trips to Israel. His wife, Israela Meyerstein, is a retired family therapist. They live near 3 married children, and 8 grandchildren, in the D.C. area.
