Book Circle: The Jews Of Egypt And One Family’s Journey
The October meeting of the Book Circle will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at noon, on Zoom. The selection for the month is The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit by Lucette Lagnado.
The Jews of Egypt are portrayed here against the cosmopolitan glamour of Cairo, and what happens when the man who wears the white sharkskin suit loses everything. It is a story of faith, tradition, tragedy and triumph.
The Book Circle meets each month to explore books on Jewish themes and Jewish writers. For more information, call the shul at 631-477-0232 and leave a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
Enthusiastic Audiences Zoom In For ‘Lunch and Learn’
The idea for a Lunch and Learn program was an initiative inspired by the shuttering of our synagogue in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The organizers of the program were concerned about helping members maintain a connection to the shul and each other while the doors were locked and everyone was sheltering in place at home. Enter Lunch and Learn.
Every Monday, Lunch and Learners zoom in (via Zoom, a videoconferencing antidote to the shelter-in-place restrictions) for sessions led mostly by our members. Recent offerings included a discussion on changes in the Middle East brought about by the Israel-UAE pact, the making of a golf champion, and the joys and pitfalls of running a B&B.
Each Thursday, Rabbi Gadi fills the noontime slot with probing questions about Judaism, often a follow-up to the theme of the Monday program.
Lunch and Learn will be on hiatus during the High Holiday season — no sessions on Mondays, Sept. 21 through Oct. 12 — and will resume on Monday, Oct. 19.
