 “Not to People Like Us: Rachel Coalition Responds to Domestic Violence in the Jewish Home, ”

Thursday, March 25:  7:30-9:00 PM

Since its inception in 1997, Rachel Coalition has counseled and helped women (and men) involved in abusive relationships. Led by Jewish Family Services Executive Director Reuben Rotman, Rachel Coalition Past Chair Lesley Frost and Rachel Coalition Speakers’ Bureau Chair Myrna Wertheimer, this eye-opening program will alert attendees to warning signs of abusive relationships so they can help friends or relatives in need. They will enlighten us about the extent of the problem in our local community and give us information as to how such situations are handled once someone reaches out to Rachel Coalition for help. Coffee and dessert will be served.

Save the Date:  Passover Program Thursday, March 11 7:30 PM

On Thursday, March 11, at 7:30 PM, Sisterhood, Men’s Club, Early School Parents' Council and PTA will sponsor a special presentation just in time for Passover. Authors of 300 Ways to Ask the Four Questions and the subjects of a PBS television program, Murray Spiegel and Rickey Stein, will use multimedia to give you fabulous ideas to make the Passover Seder more meaningful for your entire family, from toddlers to grandparents!

Dessert and coffee will be served. RSVP to 973.994.2290. 

Dr. Murray Spiegel, a speech researcher in telecommunications, has established a reputation for innovative Passover Seders. Since leading his first Seder while in graduate school, Murray has made each of more than 30 Seders different than the last. With his wife Randi, Murray has transformed their house into a Bedoin tent; a jumbo jet taking the Israelites out of Egypt; and an ancient Egyptian tomb with an inflatable sarcophagus. His Seders were filmed by PBS.

 

Rickey Stein has practiced pharmacy for more than 40 years. His life-long interests in languages, computers and Passover served him well in the preparation of this book. Rickey's many other interests are eclectic and quite varied and include Latin music, photography, Jewish choral singing, numismatics, syngraphics, antique automobiles and license plates. He is particularly knowledgeable on the various writing systems used by the world's languages. The Steins have been leading Seders for more than 35 years and have added new language translations every year. And they haven't stopped yet!

Both authors were featured in The New York Times.
