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.

Memoir Writing Workshop @ Mittleman Jewish Community Center
May 2 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm

Mark Twain said it best when he said, “no one has an uninteresting life!” This workshop is an opportunity to explore your life and write your stories. Dorothy Dworkin, an experienced author, columnist and writing coach, will offer prompts and suggestions to get you started on writing your stories. She will help you organize your memoir with noncritical feedback from your fellow writers and from her years of experience facilitating the writing process. No experience necessary, only a desire to share your experiences with family, friends and fellow “memoirists.” Class size is limited to 12.
