Sisterhood Book Club – 12:30pm on Thursday, July 31. Discussion of the book "A Guide for the Perplexed" by Dara Horn. Software prodigy Josie Ashkenazi invents an application that records everything its users do. When she visits the Library of Alexandria as a tech consultant, she is abducted with only a copy of the philosopher Maimonides' famous work to anchor her―leaving her jealous sister free to take over her life. A century earlier, Cambridge professor Solomon Schechter arrives in Egypt, hunting for a medieval archive hidden in a Cairo synagogue. Their stories intertwine in this spellbinding novel of how technology changes memory and how memory shapes the soul.
Tisha B'Av Commemoration – 8:00pm on Saturday, August 2 via Zoom only. Tisha B'Av is the focused day of loss for our People. It is a day of Lamentations, of destruction, of sadness and pain. We join together with words of prayer, acts of memory, and opportunities for learning and reflection to share the weight of the 9th of Av. Join us along with several other small URJ congregations as we gather virtually for an observance of this powerful day on our calendar.
