Mar 2Israeli Movie Night: "The Wedding Plan"
Motzei Shabbat, Mar 2nd 7:00p to 10:00p
Refreshments begin at 7:00; screening begins at 7:30 p.m. In the Oneg Room on the large screen. “The Wedding Plan” is delicately layered 2016 romantic comedy written and directed by the Ultra-Orthodox Israeli director, Rama Burshtein. A 30-something, Ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman, Michal, is jilted by her fiancé just 22 days before they take their vows. But instead of canceling the reception venue booked for the eighth day of Hanukkah, she trusts that fate in the form of the Almighty will provide a willing replacement and that the ceremony will go on. Like Rama Burshtein herself, Michal is progressive and doesn’t fit the Ultra-Orthodox stereotype we expect! -
Sunday
Mar 3The Roman Empire’s Influence on Jews and Judaism, Class 3
Sunday, Mar 3rd 9:45a to 11:15a
Class 3: Roman Law and the Creation of the Rabbinic Corpus Following the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE, there was good reason to believe that Judaism as a religion would not long survive. However, Judaism did survive and evolve, mainly through the efforts of the rabbis. But the rabbis did not exist in a vacuum, and their work reflects their historical experience of living within a larger world. How did Roman conceptions of law and legal codes influence the rabbis and their work? How did they borrow from Roman legal tradition and also reject Roman law and fashion new solutions for similar problems? Instructor: Adam Marshak -
Sunday
Mar 3Aging Well in Community Speaker Event: "To Move or Not to Move: A Later Life Question"
Sunday, Mar 3rd 7:00p to 9:00p
Whether or not to stay in the home and neighborhood we have lived in for years (until health makes that no longer possible) is one of the questions that many people grapple with after retirement. Or if we are thinking of moving, how can we know when is the best time? And where we should move next? Come learn about the various housing options you might want to consider, and how to better plan for a smooth transition when you do decide it’s time to move. There will be an opportunity to talk with each other about what we have learned and how it might affect our choices after the presentation. -

Bring the joy of study into Shabbat: Once a month we join together over a special beverage for an enriching study of the Torah portion read by Jews all over the world that week. Rabbi Cari leads the group, sharing her passion for discussing traditional text in relationship to our modern lives. We gather at the trendy and tasty Waterfield Kitchen in downtown Winchester (food and drink available to purchase), or at Temple Shir Tikvah (BYOB). The Waterfield Kitchen (TWK) is at 14 Thompson Street, Winchester. Torah on Tap meets on the second floor. For people who prefer not to use money on Shabbat, contact Rabbi Cari (rabbicari@shir-tikvah.org) to arrange payment. Arrive 20 minutes early for TWK dates to allow time to order.
