FebFebruary 2 , 2020The People of the Books: A Conversation about (mostly) 20th Century Jewish Fiction
Sunday, Feb 2nd 9:45a to 11:30a
Jews have long been known as the People of the Book, and with the mass production and marketing of popular literature, Jewish fiction has reached an increasingly broad audience. In this three-session lecture/discussion course, we will consider a wide range of fiction by and about Jews, with particular emphasis on American middlebrow literature of the mid-20th century, contemporary fiction, and international Jewish literature. In the first lecture, we’ll work together to answer the basic question: what is ‘Jewish literature?’ and identify some of the many issues modern and post-modern Jewish authors write about. In particular, we’ll talk about the work of Yiddish writers such as I.B. Singer; women writers like Anzia Yezierska, Fannie Hurst, Edna Ferber, and Grace Paley, and contemporary writers, such as Jonathan Franzen, Dara Horn, and Nicole Krauss. In the second session, we’ll expand our universe to explore some 20th century Jewish fiction from outside the United States, including Europe, South Africa, and South America—and even some “interplanetary” Jewish science fiction. The third session will focus on the issues contemporary Israeli authors, such as S.Y. Agnon, Amos Oz, and Etgar Keret, are concerned about. -

FebFebruary 2 , 2020EJL+: Parenting through a Jewish Lens
Sunday, Feb 2nd 10:00a to 11:15a
Did you love the community and learning of EJL but your kids have gotten older?! Never had the chance to be a part of the EJL community? We are starting a parenting group for parents of older children this year. Using the Parenting Through a Jewish Lens Curriculum we will meet 5 times on Sunday mornings to help us mindfully approach issues around parenting Jewish children. Topics will include: Parenting for Resiliency, Parenting for Responsibility, God-Talk and Spirituality, Making Space for Self-Expression and Spirituality, and Hopes and Dreams for Our Children. Sign-up is required for the course, although of course we understand that life sometimes gets in the way of full attendance. All classes will meet at the Ambrose 10-11:15. Dates are December 15th, January 5th, February 2nd, March 1st and April 5th. The class will only occur with adequate interest – please RSVP below. -

FebFebruary 2 , 2020Adult Social Theater Outing: "We All Fall Down"
Sunday, Feb 2nd 2:00p to 4:00p
Linda and Saul Stein still live in the Westchester home where they raised their two beautiful daughters. But when Saul unexpectedly retires, Linda summons the family to celebrate Passover for the first time in decades. Linda tends slightly toward the theatrical (okay, a lot), and their family has never been particularly religious (okay, not at all). So their comic attempts to bring the Seder to life go from riotous to heartwrenching in this play from Huntington Playwriting Fellow and Somerville resident Lila Rose Kaplan, directed by Obie Award winner Melia Bensussen. Can this family come together, or will an age-old tradition tear them apart? Cost $40 for group rate seats throughout the theater. 1/2 hr. Talk-back follows the performance. A luncheon beforehand will be planned for those attending. Deadline for response is December 15. Questions to Karen L. Grossman, karen@klgwoman.com.
