Watching a series on Netflix called Shtisel. Fascinating for this southern Jew who relocated to the North (it’s 1965 and when my family found out we were getting married and moving to New York that’s when the Civil War really began). Seeing so many of the customs of my newly adopted homeland, New York, reflected in this series, it’s so very comforting and I’m not sure why. The Yiddish class felt the same. So many things I missed growing up, and yet the identification is so strong even though so much is new to me. My orthodox cousins and us, so very Reform. I saw Molly Goldberg on television and then I met Lew’s grandmother and knew right away this was wonderful and I marveled at what I had missed and the education really began and continues today. Sitting in Temple does that for me. It makes me feel wonderful.

For everyone who has missed our weekly Yoga Shalom, and newcomers, too! Every Wednesday, at 10:30, Cantor Lisa Levine and our DVD teacher, have created a yoga practice just for us.

— BELLES (Beth El Literary Ladies Enjoying Sisterhood) Thurs, May 6 at 7:00 Karen Toker will lead our discussion of The Enchantress, by Maggie Anton. This novel is set in 3rd century Babylon and Palestine, the Talmudic period. Anton writes historical fiction about strong Jewish women, and here, weaves in well-researched Talmud and magic. And Karen does terrific research herself. Whether we have read the book or not, we will definitely learn a lot about our scholarly tradition. Please join us!
