SUMMARY:Pink Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Join BZBI for our Pink Shabbat\, a morning service in honor of breast cancer awareness month. We will welcome Emily Schaeffer Bakaj to share her experience.  \nHer story begins with her mother passing away from breast cancer when she was in her early twenties. Helping her through her journey and then living on her own\, changed her as a person to be kinder\, stronger\, more giving\, and open. Support groups\, peer support\, speaking engagements for Sharsheret and being a contributing member of the Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Patient & Faculty Advisory Council (“PFAC”) for six years\, gives her a chance to make a difference. \nIn her day to day\, she is the Facility Manager for the US Region for a global engineering consulting firm. She has been married for 29 years to a wonderful man\, Myron\, and without his support and love\, and the support of friends\, family\, and Fox Chase Cancer Center\, she says she would not be where she is today. \nWe are encouraging everyone to wear pink to this service to show their support of breast cancer awareness. Our Kiddush will feature pink treats in honor of this special month.

SUMMARY:Parashat HaShavua Class

SUMMARY:Not Tevia’s Shtetl: The Real Story of our Ancestral Towns and What’s Happening There Today
DESCRIPTION:Jews around the world can trace their roots to small towns in Eastern Europe. Before they made the leap to a big shtot (city) they lived for centuries in shtetls. These places have become shrouded in myth and clouded by memories. Join us for an adventure into the real stories of the towns where our ancestors fell in love\, experienced frustration\, and tried to get ahead. At the end we’ll talk about what remains of these hallowed places and what’s being done to preserve Jewish heritage in places where Jews are absent. We will welcome Zachary Mazur to BZBI for this lecture and Q & A session. \nRegistration is free and there is a suggested $10 donation for the cost of security\, click here to register! \nZachary Mazur earned his PhD at Yale University where he studied under Professor Timothy Snyder. He’s the author of numerous articles and will soon publish a book on Jews\, Ukrainians and Poles in Poland’s economy during the 1920s-30s. He is currently the Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.

SUMMARY:Dirshuni: Contemporary Women's Midrash with Rabbi Abe Friedman
DESCRIPTION:Midrash\, one of the fundamental genres of Jewish literature\, came into being almost 2\,000 year ago and was developed and composed by thousands of sages working in parallel – all of whom were men. In our generation\, increased opportunities for women to study and teach led to a renewed interest in composing Midrash. In this series\, we will study selections from Dirshuni\, a two-volume collection of Midrash by contemporary Israeli women\, and explore the ways in which their writings connect with classical Midrash and how women’s voices expand the horizons of Torah. \nClick here to register.
