As a film character actor, Klugman was the epitome of the everyman. He was one of the pioneers of television acting in the 1950s, and is best remembered for his 1970s TV work as Oscar Madison on The Odd Couple (1970-75) and as the medical examiner on Quincy (1976-83).

Book Talk: Eternal Life by Dana Horn @ Congregation Neveh Shalom
Jun 30 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Please join Kaiya Goldhammer, librarian of the Feldstein Library at Neveh Shalom, and others for a riveting discussion of the book Eternal Life by Dana Horn. Eternal Life tells the story of Rachel, a woman who cannot die. Following the character from the biblical era to the present, the novel humorously and poignantly examines what it means to live, love, and parent for centuries. Contact: kgoldhammer@nevehshalom.org.

That will be a busy day at Neveh Shalom. Overflow parking will be up at the Portland Christian Center up the hill.

Noon Time Talk with David Gitlitz @ Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education
Jul 9 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

The topic springs from research for a forthcoming book (Living in Silverado: Secret Jews in the Mining Towns of Colonial Mexico, University of New Mexico Press, 2019).

David Gitlitz was educated at Oberlin College and trained in literary and historical scholarship at Harvard, receiving his PhD in 1968. His early work dealt with various aspects of Spanish Renaissance and Baroque literary tradition. His more recent work, some of it in collaboration with the late Dr. Linda Davidson, has focused on the connections between Judaic and Hispanic cultures. Gitlitz and Davidson’s books on the culture of pilgrimage, on Sephardic culinary culture, and on crypto-Judaism, have become standards in their fields. Two — Secrecy and Deceit, the Religion of the Crypto-Jews, and A Drizzle of Honey: the Lives and Recipes of Spain’s Crypto-Jews — have won National Jewish Book Awards.

This is part of the OJMCHE series of informal lunchtime conversations. Bring a lunch or buy a brown bag lunch in Lefty’s Cafe and join us in the museum’s auditorium for a lively give and take as we share and explore ideas, experience, and expertise.
