SUMMARY:Performing Esther on Stage: Questions on Gender\, Image\, and Music
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation Katharina Galor will introduce the forgotten opera Esther de Carpentras by Jewish French composer Darius Milhaud\, originally performed in Paris in 1938\, and then fallen into oblivion. \nInspired by the composer’s Provençal heritage\, the work is based on a Purim play staged in the ghettos of southern France while under papal rule (17th through 19th centuries). In her talk Katharina will explore the place of women and the role of sound and music in the original performances and how they shaped an opera of one of the early 20th centuries most important composers. \nRegistration is free and there is a suggested $10 donation for security costs. Click here to register!

SUMMARY:Post Kiddush: Standing Together
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to meet two Israeli grassroots activists\, Rula Daood and Itamar Avneri\, from New Israel Fund grantee Omdim Beyachad/Naqaf Ma’an (Standing Together). Hear about the issues at the heart of the Israeli social change movement and how Jews and Palestinians are working together for a better\, more just future. \nAs the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel\, Standing Together has become an essential voice during this difficult moment in Israeli history. Rula and Itamar will share personal stories about the work they have done and the support system they have created through their thousands of members to maintain a group of dedicated Jews and Arabs who are devoted to creating a society capable of achieving peace\, equality and social justice for all.  \nAs with any of the programs we offer\, the viewpoints reflected by the speakers may or may not be those of the leadership of the synagogue. Our world has become more polarized and we are committed to providing room for all voices to be heard\, especially about Israel. We recognize the diversity of opinions represented in our community and support the opportunity to engage in robust and thoughtful conversation.  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Pirkei Avot Class
DESCRIPTION:Pirkei Avot\, usually translated as ‘Ethics of the Fathers\,’ is a fascinating and central Jewish text. Part of the Mishnah\, it contains teachings of the sages on ethical living\, proper interactions with others\, how to find the balance between the spiritual and material\, and so much more. Traditionally\, one of the ways it is studied is a chapter at a time during the weeks between Pesach and Shavuot. \nJoin fellow congregant Nancy Leaderman in a very modern exploration of this traditional text as we dive into The Illustrated Pirkei Avot\, in which author/illustrator Jessica Tamar Deutsch has combined the entire English text with graphic illustrations. Whether you are already very familiar with Pirkei Avot or are a complete novice\, there is something for everyone. We’ll explore a chapter a week on Monday evenings from 6:00 to 7:15 PM (please join us for minyan first at 5:45 if you are able). If you are on the fence about joining the class\, keep in mind that it was in Pirkei Avot that Hillel so famously asked\, “If not now\, when?”. \nClass will meet on May 6\, 13\, & 20 (no class on Memorial Day\, May 27) and June 3 & 10. Cost for the six week class is $36 and includes a copy of the text.
