This Saturday night, December 23, 2017 at 8:30pm in the Social Hall, Adult Education presents a Unique Multimedia Lecture by David Zvi Kalman: "Jewish Ritual as Depicted in the Movies". 
Hollywood has been incorporating Jewish rituals into both television and movies for more than a century. In this multimedia presentation, we'll look at a number of the most fascinating examples and discuss trends in representation, whether the rituals get botched, and—most importantly—the function of these foreign-language prayers in American entertainment.

Legal Holiday shiur: Monday, December 25, 8:45am, Menachem Schnaidman will speak on: The Uniqueness of Asara B’Tevet.

On Saturday night, January 6, 2018 at 8:00pm, we will be presenting the beautiful, acclaimed film: Fanny's Journey. Based on a true story, the film is an incredible tale of bravery, strength and survival, a story of a daring young girl who will stop at nothing and fear no one. In 1943, 13-year old Fanny led 10 young children out of France on an impossible journey to safety across the Swiss border.
Tickets are $8 in advance (click here to order tickets) and $10 at the door.

On Sunday evening, January 14, 2018, the Adult Education and Social Action Committees will present a lecture in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day featuring Rabbi Saul Berman who will speak on "Selma 1965 : Jewish Lessons from Prison."
