NovNovember 3 , 2024Book Talk - Displaced Persons (Meet the Author)
Sunday, Nov 3rd 10:30a to 12:00p
Displaced Persons is a collection of rich, multi-layered short stories, half set in Israel, half among Jewish families in the States, and explores exile, belonging, and what it means to call a place home. Winner of the New American Fiction Prize, it was selected out of 500+ submissions. Joan Leegant's Displaced Persons was also selected for the One Book, One Hadassah program which chooses six books a year to highlight for their members. The Women's League for Conservative Judaism, the umbrella organization for Sisterhood's and women's groups at Conservative synagogues, has also selected Joan Leegant’s Displaced Persons for the Women’s League Reads program. Joan is also the author of two other books: Wherever You Go, a novel which the Union of Reform Judaism designated as a “Significant Jewish Book,” and An Hour in Paradise, which, won the PEN/New England Book Award, the Wallant Award for Jewish Fiction, and was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. This session is cosponsored by JCA, Hadassah, and the CBI Adult Education Committee. -

NovNovember 5 , 2024Talmudic Tales: The Greatest Hits
Tuesday, Nov 5th 7:00p to 8:30p
We'll read and discuss some of the most iconic stories found in the Talmud. Mystical, absurd, hilarious, tragic, wise, moving, pious, irreverent - these stories have it all. To borrow Ruth Calderon's term, we'll walk into these texts "barefoot" - with our own minds and hearts, rather than traditional interpretations (although we'll reference those when/if warranted). No familiarity with Talmud needed whatsoever, and everyone is welcome! Jake Marmer is a poet, educator, and the Head of School at Lander-Grinspoon Academy. He is the author of three poetry collections, including "Jazz Talmud", which explores the poetic dimension of the Talmudic discourse. -
