Siddur Series I: Understanding the Shabbat Morning Service
Sundays, 9:00am - 10:30am
October 27, November 10 and 17
This short series explores the content of the three main parts of the Shabbat morning service. We will look at the Morning (Shaharit), Torah Reading, and Musaf (Additional) and closing prayers. Each session is devoted to one section of the prayer book. The major themes of the prayers will be presented along with essential details on “how-to-do-what-when”. This course is perfect for anyone looking to have a basic handle on what happens during the course of Shabbat morning services. It is especially encouraged for parents (and even grandparents!) anticipating bat/bar mitzvah celebrations. Our main text will be
Siddur Sim Shalom for Sabbath and Festivals
and additional handouts will be provided as needed. No knowledge of Hebrew is anticipated. There is no fee for this class.

THEATER J
Edward Albee’s
Occupant
Inside the genius of sculptor Louise Nevelson
Directed by Aaron Posner
November 7 – December 8, 2019
Facts are in dispute and words are in question in this late-career masterpiece by multiple Pulitzer Prize-winner Edward Albee (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Delicate Balance). A little Jewish girl from Russia immigrated to the US and became the renowned sculptor Louise Nevelson. In Albee’s Occupant, she’s been invited to participate in an interview -- from beyond the grave. Through her ups and downs, her contradictions and evasions, we witness the deep inner turmoil and intrepid triumphs of one of the 20th century’s greatest artistic minds. Starring Susan Rome, this surprising, touching, and delicious play is an unabashed exploration of how a pioneer for free-thinking women everywhere found her voice.
