Hello, Lunch and Learners. Here’s a preview of what’s on tap for the 7th week of our Zoom at noon program. We hope you were able to Zoom at noon on Monday for a delightful sing-along with Cantor Melissa Berman, who led us in songs, spirituals and rounds to celebrate Memorial Day. On Thursday, Rabbi Gadi followed up with insights into the memorial customs and rituals in Judaism — why we do what we do.

Coming up this Monday, June 1, is a session we’ll call “Hairy Business,” to be led by Ladan Shalom-Murray, a hair stylist, corrective colorist, and founder of the fashionable Paul Izak Salon and Day Spa, who will help us deal with all of that hair. For months, we have been social distancing, sheltering in place, and growing hair. We need help. Ladan to the rescue.

On Thursday, June 4, Rabbi Gadi will follow up on the hair theme with a session titled “From Samson to Absalom.” Samson’s long hair, as we know, endowed him with great strength, whereas Absalom’s bestowed great beauty. What do we learn from that?

Sign into Zoom at 12 o’clock every Monday and Thursday. Have lunch with shul friends, and learn a little, followed by a Q&A and some lively discussion. Visit www.tiferethisraelgreenport.org, click on “go to meeting,” follow the prompts, and type in the password you use for services and events. That’s all there is to it.
Why lunch alone? Come eat, come listen, come talk. Don’t forget: Zoom at noon for Lunch and Learn. See you Monday.
