Jan 2013 Light for Web.pub - Temple Emanuel

Senior Scene

Our temple offered so many
opportunities to celebrate and
enjoy Hanukkah. Hopefully,
whether within the temple or
among your own families and
friends, you had a delightful
holiday!
And now, welcome to a new year
of Senior Group news and
Photo: Eliane Strip activities. We’re looking ahead to
sharing the brown bag lunch
meetings and delightful afternoons with all of you.
The fall season was rich with a variety of programs. We
heard from Myrna Fineman about her playwright friend,
enjoyed a Shabbat dinner, were surprised by Al’s Chorale
with Julia Zavadsky, and enjoyed the political insights
and reflections on the presidential election by Dr. Richard
Harris of Rutgers University.
Why do I say “surprised” by Al’s Chorale? We expected
Julia Zavadsky would bring us a wonderful musical
program. Then we learned that she was coming with the
40+ members of the JCC’s Al’s Chorale. The Chorale’s
story (and name) is inspiring and their singing was full of
spirit and much enjoyed by all. Thank you, Julia, for
going beyond anything we had anticipated.

In January we welcome David Snyder, Director of the
Jewish Community Relations Council. This significant
agency serves us all well, often quietly and without much
fanfare. Although we are fortunate to live in a generally
peaceful community, there are times when groups and/or
individuals create some stir or problem that is unsettling
for our community. The JCRC staff works to calm and
bring people together to solve the dilemmas. Please join
us on Wednesday, January 16, when Mr. Snyder will
update us on current interfaith issues.
Looking ahead, we anticipate afternoons of sharing with
friends and programs with Dr. Martin Rosenberg, Cantor
Neil, Barry, the Caterer, Jessica Chasen and Rabbi
David. We think these will be a terrific mix of topics and
personalities. Watch for our program flyers and
information in The Light. Be sure not to miss them.
$10 per person
