Here’s news about the third week of our new Lunch and Learn program. We hope you were able to Zoom at noon on Monday to hear Sara Bloom talk about writing the moments in our lives that have made us the individuals we are. Rabbi Gadi led an absorbing discussion on Thursday about the halakah view of streaming/virtual services.

Coming up next week, Marian Friedmann and Adrianne Greenberg will lead off on Monday, May 4, with a talk about spring gardening. Rabbi Gadi will lead again on Thursday, May 7, with Part II of the discussion about Jewish law and streaming services. Rabbi Gadi will distribute literature prior to the Thursday session, so if you plan to attend, please let the rabbi know so he can email materials to you.

To join us for Lunch and Learn, sign into Zoom at 12 o’clock every Monday and Thursday, have lunch with shul friends, learn a little, followed by a Q&A and some lively discussion. Click on “Go to services” on the shul’s website. Follow the prompts, and type the password. (Get it from ctigreenport@gmail.com if you don’t have it already). And you’re in.

What’s ahead? Suzi Rosenstreich’s popular lecture on body language on Monday, May 11, and another session with Rabbi Gadi on Thursday, May 14, when he will take up another interesting facet of Judaism. Other topics in the works include cooking, music, travel, books, art, poetry, politics, health, photography, maybe some Yiddish, and who knows what else…

Why lunch alone? Come eat, come listen, come talk. Don’t forget: Zoom at noon for Lunch and Learn. See you Monday.
