Throughout the month of October, the MJCC and PJA communities will be collecting Reading Glasses for Street Books. Items can be dropped off in the blue bin located in the MJCC lobby.
Community Sukkah building.
We will begin by reflecting together as to how spirituality is expressed in a painting, photograph, song, dance, poem, a work in clay, and a sculpture by Jewish artists. Guided study of the High Holiday prayer “Ki Hinei Kachomer–For We Are Like Clay” will then inform the opportunity for participants to create and share a preliminary response to the prayer in your own art form. Please arrive early, bringing any art materials you may need and a protective table covering if appropriate.

Turn Left at the End of the World: The tale of a group of families who emigrate from India to Israel in the late sixties, seeking a better life in what they believe to be the first outpost of the West in Asia. Instead they are sent to a new settlement, in the middle of the desert, populated mostly by Moroccan Jews. An inevitable cultural clash takes place between the two communities–the Indians who consider themselves British and the Moroccans who see themselves as French.
