EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

It is hoped you will consider rolling up your sleeves and cleaning as we have done the last two years. Yes, we have a cleaner, but he does not do the details. Cleaning the kitchen and the glass cabinets in Weizmann Hall will be the main focus.
Please, let me know if you will be coming on 8/25.

Temple Reads: Waking Lions
by Eyelet Gundar-Goshen
Sunday, November 3 via Zoom
After one night’s deadly mistake, a man will go to any lengths to save his family and his reputation.
Neurosurgeon Eitan Green has the perfect life — married to a beautiful police officer and father of two young boys. Then, speeding along a deserted moonlit road after an exhausting hospital shift, he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he flees the scene.
When the victim’s widow knocks at Eitan’s door the next day, holding his wallet and divulging that she knows what happened, Eitan discovers that her price for silence is not money. It is something else entirely, something that will shatter Eitan’s safe existence and take him into a world of secrets and lies he could never have anticipated.
Waking Lions is a gripping, suspenseful, and morally devastating drama of guilt and survival, shame and desire from a remarkable young author on the rise. (Amazon)

Mitzvah opportunity! Temple Emmanuel is now partnered with Wakefield Community Dinners.

Volunteer hours are 3:30-6:30pm. Guests come as families or alone. Although many are experiencing food insecurity, most are impacted with social isolation. We provide a hot meal, salad, bread, desserts, and most importantly, camaraderie. If you’d like to have fun, share smiles, and engage in holy work with Rabbi Greg, please sign up here.

Temple Reads: Shanda, A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy, by Letty Cottin Pogrebin
2024-06-23 19:00 - 21:00
Shanda, A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy
by Letty Cottin Pogrebin
An intimate memoir from a founding editor of Ms. magazine who grew up in a Jewish immigrant family mired in secrets, haunted by their dread of shame and stigma, determined to hide their every imperfection—and in denial or despair when they couldn’t.
“A frank and often amusing tabulation of well-kept family secrets… a story of high-stakes melodrama and surreptitious relations, in which runaway brides, false marriages, lost children and other moral crises abound. But there is more here than mishegas.” —Jake Nevins, New York Times
“The richness of Pogrebin’s stories, the complexity and beauty of her storytelling, and her devastatingly honest soul-baring make Shanda a powerfully stunning piece of life and art.”
—Mayim Bialik, actor, author, neuroscientist, and co-host of Jeopardy (from Amazon)
