Temple Reads: The Thread Collectors
2023-03-12 19:00 - 21:00
The Thread Collectors
by Shaun Edwards and Alyson Richman

1863: In a small Creole cottage in New Orleans, an ingenious young Black woman named Stella embroiders intricate maps on repurposed cloth to help enslaved men flee and join the Union Army. Bound to a man who would kill her if he knew of her clandestine activities, Stella has to hide not only her efforts but her love for William, a Black soldier and a brilliant musician.
Meanwhile, in New York City, a Jewish woman stitches a quilt for her husband, who is stationed in Louisiana with the Union Army. Between abolitionist meetings, Lily rolls bandages and crafts quilts with her sewing circle for other soldiers, too, hoping for their safe return home. But when months go by without word from her husband, Lily resolves to make the perilous journey South to search for him.
As these two women risk everything for love and freedom during the brutal Civil War, their paths converge in New Orleans, where an unexpected encounter leads them to discover that even the most delicate threads have the capacity to save us. Loosely inspired by the authors’ family histories, this stunning novel will stay with readers for a long time. (Amazon)

Sunday, Aug 27 at 9:00 AM
EVERYONE, INCLUDING MEN, ARE WELCOME
PLEASE PARK ON THE STREET TO GIVE OUR NEW DRIVEWAY ADDITIONAL TIME TO HARDEN AND ENTER THROUGH PATIO DOOR

It’s time to get the Temple ready for the High Holidays! As many of you did last year in preparation for the Temple’s 75th celebration, it is hoped you will consider rolling up your sleeves and cleaning again. I have also added some new names to this email. If you can think of anyone I missed, please pass this on. Yes, we have a cleaner, but he does not do the details. Dusting and shining will be the main focus, no heavy or high work. Sunday August 27 starting @ 9AM is the official cleaning day, but if you can’t make it, you can pick a time that fits your schedule. Cleaning should be completed before the beginning of the HH season which begins with Selichot on Sat Sept 9th. Please, let me know if you can help, have a preferred space to clean and if you will be coming on 8/27 or at another time of your choice. Together we can make the Temple shine!

Learn how Beth began her career as a professional opera singer and
voice teacher. Fifteen years later, her creative mind turned to writing! Beth
has written five books including a medical thriller, Devil’s Grace, and
Swan Song. She now combines a career in both music and writing! Her
presentation will include several songs that complement characters from
her books that were written for those 12 to 92. How fun!
Swan Song is a fascinating look into the world of German opera through the eyes
of a “mischling,” a half Jewish opera singer during the 1930s with messages for
our times. Elizabeth’s Steel Butterflies is a young adult novel based on true
events. Steel Butterflies is about an unlikely friendship between a teenage girl and
a former WWI spy.
