Joys of Jewish Learning
Movie Discussion:
Unstrung Heroes
This Thursday, October 22 at 7:00 pm
Facilitator: Lindsey Preuss, PhD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Steven Lidz is 12 years old and his world is fracturing. Overwhelmed by his life with an ailing mother and an emotionally distant father, Steven runs off to live with his two wildly eccentric uncles, Danny and Arthur. Baffled by the tragedies surrounding him, Steven finds solace in the idiosyncrasies of his Uncles’ strange and wonderful world. It is there that he begins the journey from boyhood innocence to a young man’s understanding of life.

Participants should watch the movie in advance of our discussion.

Family Havdalah Experience
Every Saturday at 7:30 pm
Celebrate Havdalah Rabbi Fox, Cantor Hass and Sharon Amster Brown.

Ritual Practices Message
This week’s parsha tells the story of Noah. After the flood, Noah and his family are blessed (among other things) with a permission to eat meat, in contrast to previous generations who were only allowed plant-based foods (Genesis 9:3). This duality towards the consumption of meat, as something that is allowed but perhaps not preferred, has persisted in Jewish thought and writings from the Torah to the present day.
