SUMMARY:Close Reading: Sons and Daughters by Chaim Grade - A Jewish Novel Taught by Dr. Susanne Klingenstein
DESCRIPTION:The sharp Yiddish novelist\, Chaim Grade\, described the falling apart of the orthodox world in Eastern Europe in the 1930s. Sons and daughters of rabbis get out of the shtetl\, but the fathers claw them back through guilt. Grade’s characters are incredibly alive; they are goofy\, mad\, heroic and wise. The novel is long\, learned and confusing\, so we will read it together at the clip of 50 pages each week\, accompanied by one of discussion each week to help understand the religious world of the Lithuanian rabbis. \nClass dates: Nov 6\, 13\, 20\, Dec 4\, 11\, 17\, 30\, Jan 8\, 15\, 26\, 29\, Feb 5\nAll classes will meet on Zoom. \nCost: (Scholarships available)\n \n$180 for Temple Emanuel Members\n$250 for Non-Members \nThis class is now at capacity. \nAbout Dr. Susanne Klingenstein\nDr. Susanne Klingenstein is an Associate at the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard University. She served as professor of Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT\, as Lecturer in the Humanities at Harvard Medical School\, and as Director of the Communication Curriculum in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. She the author of six books\, her new book on Chaim Grade will be published in the spring of 2026. She has offered courses at TE since 2006 and is a popular\, sought-after teacher.

We are no longer taking preorders for pizza but a limited amount will be available for purchase at the event. \nRegister→ \nThis film is the story of how Dr. Jeffrey Hoffman realized a childhood dream by becoming an astronaut; how he was a key member of the spacewalking team that made critical repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope; how his own faith journey evolved as he took various Jewish objects on his five Space Shuttle missions; how his community came together to make it possible for that small Torah to be with him on his final flight\, when we read from the book of Genesis while soaring through space “In the beginning\, God created the heavens and the earth.”
