Lunch and Learn – Memoir Writing and Judaism

Learn About Memoir Writing; Bring Lunch

Here’s news about the second week of our new Lunch and Learn program. We hope you were able to Zoom at noon on Monday to hear Ron Rothman talk about his grandfather’s friendship with the eminent Albert Einstein. While the story is familiar to many of us, Ron brought new insights to the companionship the two men shared. Rabbi Gadi led an absorbing discussion on Thursday, with perspectives on triage from the Jewish point of view.

Coming up next week, Sara Bloom will lead off on Monday, April 27, with a talk about the craft of memoir writing — how to get started on the journey to discover how you got to be who you are. Rabbi Gadi will lead again on Thursday, April 30, with another interesting facet of Jewish life.

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 in the password that we use for the services. And you’re in.

What’s ahead? Gardening with Marian Friedmann and Adrianne Greenberg on Monday, May 4, and another session with Rabbi Gadi on Thursday, May 7. Other topics in the works include 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.

Lunch and Learn

Hello out there — yes you, sitting in your house. Have you cleaned out every closet and drawer, washed every knickknack, dusted every shelf? Maybe you’re wondering what else you can do to pass the time at home. Well, ponder no more. The answer is at hand.

Lunch and Learn. You are invited to Zoom at noon — to sign into Zoom at 12 o’clock every Monday and Thursday, have lunch with shul friends, learn a little, and then we’ll talk. One of our members or Rabbi Gadi or a guest will introduce a topic for maybe 10 minutes or so, followed by a Q&A and some lively discussion. We have a lot of talented people in our shul. Let’s share a shtikl breyt with some smartshtik.

Sign into Zoom this Monday, April 20, at noon, for the first session, to be led by Ron Rothman talking about his grandfather’s friendship with Albert Einstein. Then on Thursday, April 23, Rabbi Gadi will lead the discussion on an interesting facet of Judaism.

What’s ahead? Memoir writing with Sara Bloom on the 27th and Rabbi Gadi on the 30th. Other topics in the works include music, travel, books, art, poetry, politics, health, photography, maybe some Yiddish, and who knows what else…
