Wednesday, April 21st // 7:00pm
Just when we think our kids are maturing and becoming more independent, they do things (or in some cases don’t do things) that we feel are not helpful to help them have a successful future. They post unflattering pictures/posts on social media, don’t follow up/take advantage of resources that can help them with future jobs/careers, and don’t seem to “own” their lives the way we would like them to.

Shtisel: The Netflix Hit Series and an Inside Look at Ultra-Orthodox Life |
Part 1 - Wednesday, April 28th // 10:00am
Part 2 - Wednesday, May 5th // 10:00am
In this two lecture series we seek to promote knowledge about the Ultra-Orthodox, which strictly observes Jewish Halacha and isolates itself from the internet and any mainstream media. This is also a unique opportunity to get closer to the wonderful characters of “Shtisel” and the writer who created them.
4/28 at 10:00am: Dr. Tomer Persico of UC Berkeley provides insight into what it's like to live in an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
5/5 at 10:00am: Meet Yehonatan Indursky, the co-writer of “Shtisel” and the creator of several other highly acclaimed films on ultra-orthodox Jews. Indursky grew up in an ultra-Orthodox family.
