The Power of Forgiveness @ Lincoln City Cultural Center

Tickets

Robert Corbin conducts programs throughout the Western United States called The Power Of Forgiveness. “My program is an experiential program which allows people to move forward in their lives from the emotional past when it comes to forgiving both themselves and others,” says Robert, who lives in Arizona and presents the program at several Phoenix area synagogues.

This is a results orientated interactive program with one end goal. To guide each attendee to a moment in their lives where they can let themselves out of the “Emotional Past” and live with a clean emotional slate moving forward which begins when they leave this program.

Members of any synagogue may attend without charge by calling our office at 626-255-8580. We will give them a special 4 digit code that will allow them when they go into ticket sales to obtain up to 2 tickets absolutely free of charge.

Pages and Pixels – “I am Forbidden” and “Menashe” @ Congregation Neveh Shalom

Tickets

Jul 15 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Pages and Pixels is a gathering of people who discuss a book then watch a film based on similar themes. This month we are reading I am Forbidden by Anouk Markovitz. “A beautifully crafted, emotionally gripping story of what happens when unwavering love, unyielding law, and centuries of tradition collide, I Am Forbidden announces the arrival of an extraordinarily gifted voice and opens a startling window on a world closed to most of us.” Following discussion of the novel we will watch the 2017 movie, “Menashe.” Contact the Feldstein Library Head Librarian: kgoldhammer@nevehshalom.org.
