Men’s Club – Book Discussion Group 1/30

The CEC Men’s Club Book Discussion Group will meet at the synagogue on Sunday, January 30, at 10:30am to discuss

Foreskin’s Lament: A Memoir, by Shalom Auslander

“Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was estranged from his community, his religion and its traditions, he could not find a way to a lofe where he didn’t struggle daily against God. “Foreskin’s Lament reveals Auslander’s ‘painfully, crippingly, incurably, miserably religious’ youth in a strict, socially isolated Orthodox community, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family”

Admission to the Men’s Club book discussion is free. Please bring a dairy or vegetarian breakfast dish to share. For more information email jesse monteagudo.

Adult Ed – Does Crismukkah Make Sense 12/20

Our Adult Ed series continues with: The December Dilemma- Does Crismukkah Make Sense?

Is it inclusive to have a Hanukkah menorah with a Christmas tree as a shamash, or do such attempts at bringing two holiday traditions together render them both nonsensical? This lecture and discussion will explore the many ways interfaith couples and communities have tried to meld inclusivity and distinctiveness.

Monday December 20th, 7:30 PM at the Synagogue
