    Sinai Temple to host Israel-Azerbaijan symposium
    By Peter Rothholz
    January 31, 2015

    The close political, economic and defense relationship between Israel
    and Azerbaijan will be the focus of a discussion between David Siegel,
    Consul-General of Israel and Nasimi Aghayev, Consul-General of
    Azerbaijan at the next meeting of the Men's Club of Sinai Temple at
    6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3. Among the issues to be explored are
    military cooperation, the common fight against terrorism and regional
    tensions. Rabbi Erez Sherman will moderate the discussion that will be
    preceded by Cantor Marcus Feldman's singing of the national anthems of
    each country.

    Azerbaijan, a former member of the Soviet Union, is an independent,
    primarily Muslim country on the Caspian Sea bordering Iran. It has a
    small Jewish community consisting of so-called Mountain Jews, now
    living mostly in Baku, the nation's capital and a major oil producing
    center.

    A highlight of the evening's program will be the presentation by Rabbi
    David Wolpe of a Torah scroll, written in part my members of the Sinai
    Temple Men's Club, to the Synagogue of Mountain Jews in Baku.
    According to Men's Club president Cary Lerman , the presentation is
    `testimony to the unity of the Jewish community throughout the world'.

    Admission to the meeting is free and open to all. It will be held at
    Sinai Temple, 10400 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles. For further
    information call (310) 474-1518 or visit www.sinaitemple.org.
