The Shaltiel Family Saga with Isaac Azerad
The Shaltiels trace their roots to the House of David while 20th century branches of the clan extend through a dozen nations and include members of the British aristocracy. The rise and fall and rise again of the Shaltiels over the centuries parallels two millennia of Jewish history. The family boasts some fascinating military leaders in the tradition of King David, including an American Civil War hero, Emmanuel Shaltiel, and Israeli General David Shaltiel, Jerusalem’s first commander after independence.

Sisterhood Jewish Geography
This program called “Jewish Geography” is akin to the game we’ve all played when we meet new people. If you have ever heard about the phrase “six degrees of separation” you know that someone always has a connection to you through a friend, relative, or acquaintance. It will be exciting to see how many connections we can find among the people who attend the activity.
