145 sovereign nations recognize an entity known as “the State of Palestine” – but what exactly does that refer to, and how is it different from the Palestinian Authority, Fatah, Hamas, and Gaza? And what does it mean when Israel’s Basic Laws define it as Jewish State? Come learn more about the importance of being intentional and informed in our language on these important issues.
Don’t miss this important program.

Say “Paint-by-Numbers” to anyone old enough to read and nine out of ten will know exactly what it is. That is name recognition right up there with Elvis, Barbie, and Michael Jordan. It has become a household word and pure Americana. Join us as Toledoan, Larry Robbins talks about his father Dan’s book, Whatever Happened to Paint-by-Numbers?, which is a humorous personal account of what it took to make anyone an “artist”.
A delicious lunch will be served.
The Tikkun Olam for this program will be a monetary donation to benefit Yad LaKashish – Lifeline for the Old.

In the tradition of Beatriz Williams and Paula McClain, Marie Benedict’s The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein’s enormous shadow. This novel resurrects Einstein’s wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated. Was she simply Einstein’s sounding board, an assistant performing complex mathematical equations? Or did she contribute something more?
OPEN TO THE MEMBERS OF ALL LOCAL CONGREGATIONS
