TAA's New Community Corner

The Community Corner

The Relational Judaism Team is trying something new! The Community Corner is another way to connect our TAA members to meet and share common interests or learn something new. Future postings of The Community Corner will be included in the TAA newsletter. You will have an opportunity to join one of the posted activities or lead one yourself.

What are the guidelines?

No solicitations or posts for monetary gain.
Call the Temple office (978-281-0739) or look at the calendar on the TAA website to make sure your event does not conflict with a Jewish holiday or any Temple-wide event.
You will have the responsibility to organize and communicate with your event attendees.

What are we currently offering?

Join David Russman Thursday, May 19 at 8:30 pm at The Black Cow, 16 Bay Road in Hamilton for a drink. You can contact David (617-947-2872) or just show up!

Join Sara Roizen, Adam Farber, and their sons Rohin and Kai Sunday, May 29th at 10:30 am for one of their favorite family hikes at Pingree Woodlands in Hamilton! Bring your family or just bring yourself. By "hike" we mean a meandering adventure in the woods with frequent stops to look at animals and pick up big sticks. These trails do include some slight elevation and possibly navigating across small streams. Approximately 2 hours. We recommend bringing water, snacks, and wearing waterproof hiking shoes. Note: there is no parking lot and the map says only parking for 2 cars, but just pull up on the side of the road near the trailhead. No need to RSVP - just show up! If you have any questions contact Sara (617-872-4015). Find trail info HERE.

Join Sam Silverman Thursday, June 15 from 7:30-9 pm for a Zoom discussion of the book “The Color of Law” in which author Richard Rothstein presents a shocking expose of the racist policies of the federal government during the 20th century. As examples, in this riveting book, Rothstein chronicles how the federal government denied Black World War II veterans the GI Bill benefits of a subsidized college education and reduced mortgage rates on housing. Rothstein also reveals federal government-approved policies to deny Blacks the opportunity to buy homes in newly-built suburbs like Levittown on Long Island, New York. If you are interested in reading this book and participating in the Zoom discussion , please contact Sam Silverman.
