Adult Education – “The Tsaddik – the Hasidic Doctrine of Leadership” – Sat., May 17

7:15 pm Havdalah, 7:30 pm class.

The Hasidic movement, as it evolved in the early 19th century, developed a new type of Jewish religious leader. Their geographical tribes were led by a new type of leader called the Tsaddik, and addressed as Rebbe. A Hasid was a follower of a Tsaddik; a Tsaddik had his Hasidim. The Lubavitcher concept of the Shaliah, as developed in America in the 1960s, is a revival of the concept of the Tsaddik. What is the ideal of the Tsaddik? Come find out.

Refreshments will be served.   

Guests are always welcome—$5.00 fee.

Book Discussion Group & Lunch – Sun. May 4, 12:30 pm

We are reading Five Quarters of the Orange” by Joanna Harris

When Framboise Simon returns to a small village on the banks of the
Loire, the locals do not recognize her as the daughter of the infamous
Mirabelle Dartigen ‐ the woman they still hold responsible for a terrible
tragedy that took place during the German occupation decades before.
Although Framboise hopes for a new beginning, she quickly discovers
that past and present are inextricably intertwined. Nowhere is this truth
more apparent than in the scrapbook of recipes she has inherited from
her dead mother.

With this book, Framboise re‐creates her mother’s dishes, which she
serves in her small creperie. And yet as she studies the scrapbook ‐
searching for clues to unlock the contradiction between her mother’s
sensuous love of food and often cruel demeanor ‐ she begins to
recognize a deeper meaning behind Mirabelle’s cryptic scribbles. Within
the journal’s tattered pages lies the key to what actually transpired the
summer Framboise was nine years old.
