Memoir Readings from a Jewish Perspective @ Havurah Shalom
Jun 10 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Please join us for this engaging evening of memoir readings by students of Rob Freedman’s workshop, “Memoir Writing from a Jewish Perspective.” Each year this eight-week workshop helps participants to discover the stories they want to write and share. The emphasis is on those experiences that are uniquely Jewish in nature, reflective of our culture and identity – whether the writers are Jews by birth or by choice, or among the still perplexed.

The evening will include a brief Kabbalat Shabbat service, and will be followed by a potluck dessert oneg. To help us plan for the oneg, please RSVP here by June 6.

A story of life. A story of death. Finding joy in the journey.

Join filmmaker & P’nai Or member Cathy Zheutlin on a journey to discover how to come to terms with mortality.
“Death kept showing up. So I picked up a camera to document my friends with terminal illnesses, and sought the advice of a death walker and Aboriginal elder in Australia. Now death prompts my conversations with my beloved 91-year-old mom. Living while dying is a wholehearted look at vulnerability and courage as baby boomers reclaim the end of life.”
