SUMMARY:Tisha b’Av 5786 | Zoom Only
DESCRIPTION:☆ To join us ONLINE\, please click here to register via Zoom. \n\nJoin us online at 8pm on Wednesday\, July 22 for a new Tisha b’Av program designed to open our hearts to feeling and prepare our spirits for transformation. We’ll encounter some laments both traditional and contemporary (including selections from Eikha / Lamentations and some new contemporary poems of lament)\, and then Rabbi Rachel will guide the group in writing our own laments to express what’s on our hearts in this year of so many kinds of sorrow – political\, environmental\, communal\, personal. This communal deep dive into allowing ourselves to feel the brokenness of our world is tradition’s necessary precursor to the spiritual ascent toward the Days of Awe. \nThis program will be held on Zoom only; Zoom information will be provided to those who register in advance.

SUMMARY:Pre-Purim Discussion: Why Don’t We Talk About Chapter Nine? | Zoom Only
DESCRIPTION:☆ To join us ONLINE\, please CLICK HERE to register via Zoom \n\nWhen we think of Purim we may think of Esther and Mordechai\, court intrigue\, and graggers drowning out the name of the wicked Haman. But most liberal communities (including ours) rarely read or retell the penultimate chapter of the megillah\, often described as the revenge fantasy of an oppressed people\, in which the Jews of Persia take up arms. Join Rabbi Rachel for a text study of that final chapter alongside some of our tradition’s commentaries as we delve into the deep spiritual question of what this text can teach us and how we choose to relate to it today. \n☆ This online discussion is designed for adults — all ages will be welcome at our Purimspiel & Party on Monday\, March 2.

SUMMARY:CBI Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting of the CBI Book Club\, facilitated by Dr. Suzanne Levy Graver\, Professor Emerita at Williams College\, will take place over Zoom on Thursday\, February 19 at 7:30pm (EST). \nWe will discuss The Photographer at Sixteen: The Death and Life of a Fighter by George Szirtes. \nThe Photographer at Sixteen is a poet’s memoir of his mother that flows backwards through time\, through a tumultuous period of European history – a tender and yet unsparing autobiographical journey. In July 1975\, Magda Szirtes died in the ambulance on the way to hospital after she had tried to take her own life; the memoir spools into the past\, through her exile in England\, her flight with her husband and two young boys from Hungary in 1956 and her time in two concentration camps\, her girlhood as an ambitious photographer\, and the unknowable fate of her vanished family in Transylvania. The woman who emerges – with all her contradictions – is utterly captivating. \nAll are welcome! This book is available to purchase online in multiple formats. Those who plan on joining us should RSVP via our website; Zoom information will be sent to all who RSVP once the date gets closer.
