A most fascinating hour where we attempt to unite and undo the denomination barriers in place in Judaism today and bring intellect, reason and open dialogue into play. Enjoy hearing about the upcoming portion of the Torah from both Rabbis, one Orthodox and one progressive. This is most insightful! Other discussion about Judaism, Israel, and current events happening today may follow. Join us for this hour of friendly discussion.

Presentation:

THE SWARMING BEHAVIOR

OF ANIMALS

& THE INFLUENCE ON

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,

AND BUSINESS

Geoff Kashdan

SUNDAY, JANUARY 17 at 4:00 pm

LIVE on COMPUTER or PHONE

This will be a very interesting presentation of what humans have learned and applied from the swarming behaviors shown within the animal kingdom, such as birds flying in formation, bees creating honey, to name a few.

All kinds of animals swarm, sometimes in the tens of millions. The swarm itself functions as a single organism, able to achieve complex tasks absent of any individual giving directions and without any attempt to organize the work of the swarm members. Scientific studies of the algorithms of this swarm intelligence has informed advances in artificial computer intelligence, factory and distribution networks, search and rescue technology, self-driving vehicles, and all sorts of other applications.

In this presentation, the basic principles of swarm intelligence are introduced, examples of swarm behavior in the animal world are shown, and, finally, many applications of swarm theory to humans are exhibited.

You won't want to miss this wonderful session by Geoff Kashdan, retired educator, former college instructor, and school administrator!

The Zoom link and information will be shared on Friday, January 15's Voice email newsletter and on our website.

THE BLESSING OF OUR PETS

(and Hebrew Naming)

Rabbi Barry Silver

SUNDAY, JANUARY 24 at 4:00 pm

LIVE on COMPUTER or PHONE

Bring your dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, or whatever into your Zoom Room with you! Rabbi Barry will bless our animals and provide a Hebrew Name, if desired.

This won't be in-person, but will be the next closest and safest thing ... online via Zoom. We will go around the Zoom Room and allow each to introduce themselves and their pets. This should be a FUN and NEW experience for all of us!

Don't miss it!

The Zoom link and information will be shared prior to the date of this event, both within the Voice email newsletter and on our website.

MI SHEBEIRACH HEALING PRAYERS:

We wish healing to all those who suffered, are suffering, or who have lost a loved one from the vicious attack on our nation's Capitol this past week. May our country begin to heal and repair itself from this horrible act of violence and may we soon see peace in America.

We keep those on our healing list (and those not listed) in our thoughts and good wishes, so that they may know and experience a complete and full recovery to good health, a Refuah Schlema.

To those on the frontlines, caring for our loved ones and many, many others, we wish them good health and the strength to provide the love and the care to those in need.

Please let us know of someone who should also be included in our Healing List, as well as those who are now recovered and should be taken off from our list (please contact our office at 561-968-0688).
