SUMMARY:Main Shabbat Morning ServiceWith Guest Speaker Rabbi Jamie Kotler
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Shabbat morning service with guest speaker\, Rabbi Jamie Kotler. \nSermon Topic: Inheritance – A Personal Journey of Discovery and Choice.\nWe have no control over what we are bequeathed. Or do we?\n \nAbout Rabbi Jamie Kotler \nRabbi Jamie Kotler teaches Torah and Jewish texts at synagogue communities in the Boston area and beyond. She has served as chaplain at Fireman House (Hebrew Senior Life)\, and has served on the Boards of The Rashi School\, and Mayyim Hayyim\, and on the building committee for Newbridge on the Charles at Hebrew Senior Life. \nRabbi Kotler grew up in Brazil and Mexico\, the daughter of Holocaust survivors\, with little religious practice or knowledge. She began studying Torah as a young mother of three. Her desire to steep herself in the texts and traditions she had missed as a child led her to enter rabbinical school at the age of 54 and was ordained by the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College in June 2016. Before entering the rabbinate\, she was a computer programmer (EDS\, TX and Hewlett-Packard\, CA)\, a financial analyst (Advanced Cardiovascular Systems\, CA)\, and a consultant to small businesses. \nRabbi Kotler holds a BA in Biology from Brown University and an MBA from Stanford University Graduate School of Business. She is married to Harold Kotler\, and together they have five grown children and four grandchildren. \n

SUMMARY:Yoga Minyan
DESCRIPTION:With Michelle Silberman Hubbard\, Yoga Instructor  \nSundays mornings | 9 – 10 am  \nOur rabbis taught us that the soul is joined intimately to the body.  The two move together and each can be used in the service of God. In this innovative morning minyan we will be using our bodies to pray\, our voices to chant\, and movement to connect with holiness in a Jewish way.  Awaken your senses as you awaken your soul. Expect an uplifting morning service and a great sweat. No previous Yoga or davening experience necessary. Dress for comfort. Bring a yoga mat or towel\, a small towel\, and water. Time to get up and stretch your body! Grab your mat or towel and join in via Zoom. New participants always welcome!  \nZoom link will be provided upon registration. \nRegister Here→ \nSponsored by Sisterhood Temple Emanuel \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join us on Tuesdays in Reisman Hall! Stay for exercise following our L’CHAIM programs at 2:10pm \nYou must RSVP for each program to Tracy Schneider at tracys120@yahoo.com \nFeb 3\, 10\, 17 on Zoom – Jewish Women Portrayed in Film with Debra Block \n6:30pm-7:30pm \nWe recommend watching the following films in advance of each presentation \nSESSION 1: Hester Street (watch here) – Gitl (Carol Kane)\, a young Jewish orthodox woman\, comes to America in the 1890’s only to discover that her husband Jake (Steven Keats) has given up the ways of the old country\, and taken up with a new girlfriend\, and a new life! Gitl faces the New World with strength and grace! \nSESSION 2: Crossing Delancey (watch here)– Izzy Grossman faces two romantic choices reflecting two conflicting aspects of her life…uptown world where she works and the traditional world of her grandmother where Izzy lives on the Lower East Side. In Marjorie Morningstar & Goodbye Columbus\, both women are using their romantic involvement with men to challenge the middle-class values of their parental homes. \nSESSION 3: Today\, the portrayal of Jewish women in film and television is undergoing a shift\, moving away from one-dimensional caricatures toward more nuanced\, self-defined\, and diverse characters. While traditional\, negative stereotypes persist\, the rise of Jewish women in creative roles behind the camera is driving a “renaissance” in representation. We will give examples of these portrayals in films such as Unorthodox (watch here) and in several television programs. \nAbout the facilitator\, Debra Block\, Artistic Director and Creator\, DGB Productions \nDebra Block is the Artistic Director and Creator of DGB Productions.
