Our next book (for the March 2022 meeting) is The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem
The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem is a dazzling novel of mothers and daughters, stories told and untold, and the binds that tie four generations of women. Set against the Golden Age of Hollywood, the dark days of World War II, and the swingin' '70s, The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem follows generations of unforgettable women as they forge their own paths through times of dramatic change. With great humor and heart, Sarit Yishai-Levi has given us a powerful story of love and forgiveness—and the unexpected and enchanting places we find each.

The Seven Questions You Are Asked in Heaven |
Tuesday, March 29th // 7:00pm
When you get to heaven, what questions do you think you'll be asked about how you lived your life on earth? In the Talmud and through the centuries, rabbis have imagined what these questions might be. In this challenging, poignant and humorous presentation, we'll study text, share stories, and explore the concept of cheshbon ha-nefesh, a spiritual accounting of the soul.
Dr. Ron Wolfson is the Fingerhut Professor of Education at American Jewish University where he has been on the faculty for forty-seven years. He is the author of twenty books on Jewish Life.

Not Your Grandparents’ Judaism: Exploring Personal Jewish Spiritual Growth in Today’s World |
5 Weekly Classes starting March 7th
From its very beginning, Judaism has been an evolving spiritual tradition shaped, in part, by contact with other cultures and belief systems, and designed to meet the spiritual needs of the Jewish communities of the time.
This course is an invitation to explore our own personal, ongoing spiritual formation as we examine how Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi z’l, Rabbi Arthur Green, and others have responded to the spiritual challenges of our age.

Join us for a conversation with the Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Dr. Nachman Shai |
Tuesday, March 15th // 10:00am
Both Israel and the US experienced tremendous political storms in the past few years that seemed to threaten the stability of these democracies. While facing those challenges, a conversation has emerged about a growing fracture between the two largest Jewish communities today – American and Israeli.
Please join Dr. Anat Balint, Coordinator of the Jewish Studies Program at San Jose State University for an open conversation with Minister Nachman Shai and members of the Jewish Community of Silicon Valley.
