SUMMARY:CBI Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our March meeting of the CBI Book Club will take place over Zoom on Wednesday\, March 22 at 7:30pm to discuss Michael Frank’s One Hundred Saturdays: Stella Levi and the Search for a Lost World (2022). \nOne of The Wall Street Journal‘s Ten Best Books of the Year\, One Hundred Saturdays tells the remarkable story of ninety-nine year old Stella Levi\, whose conversations with the writer Michael Frank over the course of six years bring to life the vibrant world of Jewish Rhodes\, the deportation to Auschwitz that extinguished ninety percent of her community\, and the resilience and wisdom of the woman who lived to tell the tale. Probing and courageous\, candid and sly\, Stella is a magical modern-day Scheherazade whose stories reveal what it was like to grow up in an extraordinary place in an extraordinary time — and to construct a life after that place has vanished. One Hundred Saturdays is a portrait of one of the last survivors drawn at nearly the last possible moment\, as well as an account of a tender and transformative friendship between storyteller and listener\, offering a powerful reminder that the ability to listen thoughtfully is a rare and significant gift. \nThis book is available to purchase on Amazon in multiple formats. Those who plan on joining us should RSVP by email to Suzanne Levy Graver at sgraver@williams.edu.

SUMMARY:First Friday Shabbat Zoom Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, May 5 for our First Friday Shabbat Zoom where special guest Dr. Len Radin will present “Finding Gems in the Garbage.” Did you know that one of the ancient Greek Tragedies was written by a nice Jewish boy? He wrote a Jewish story that is filled with the same love and war\, freedom and enslavement\, heartbreak and glory\, and violence and tenderness that one would find in any great Greek Tragedy. Come to our Zoom Shabbat to learn about the oldest Jewish play in existence and the fascinating story of how it survived\, almost unknown\, for 22 centuries. \nDr. Len Radin has been a CBI member for 50 years. He has been in theatre almost his entire life and taught theatre for 25 years as a volunteer director and teacher at Drury High School. He was inducted into the Educational Theatre Association’s Hall of Fame in Washington D.C. in 2000 for his innovative work in teaching theatre and was awarded a Point of Light Award by the governor of Massachusetts. \nAs always\, we will gather together around the Zoom table to celebrate the Jewish traditions of Shabbat\, light the candles\, and bless the wine and challah.
