It’s time to catch our breath! The holidays are over andHanukkah is stillfar enough away that, for a little while, we can put off thinking aboutpreparing for it. November is a great month to spend a little time hav-ing fun or learning something new – which, of course, can also be fun.
At the Hebrew Educational Alliance we will be starting classes onSunday mornings on “Jewish Meditation and Biblical Texts”, and“Inspired Jewish Living”. On Monday nights David Brandt Finnell willhelp us explore“The 10 Commandments”. There is no charge for eitherof these classes. Our weeklyWednesday“Lunch and Learn”short storydiscussions continue. If you are in themood for fun and games, feel freeto drop in on the Mah Jongg games at the HEA on Monday nights andWednesday afternoons.
There are also other interesting programs happening within the Jewishcommunity. On Tuesdays you can attend the weekly series Before theMourning, running throughNovember and sponsored by Jewish FamilyServices,FeldmanMortuary,ShalomCares andHeritage ClubMountainView. Topics include, but are not limited to: “Philanthropy for Life”,“Organizing Your Legal Life”, and “The Heart and Soul of Ritual.” (SeeFeldman’s ad for full listing of dates and topics.) This program is beingheld at Heritage Club MountainView, 8101 E.Mississippi Ave. Lunch isincluded at no charge but reservations are needed. Contact Jamie Sarcheat [email protected]
OnNovember 3,Temple Emanuel is hosting the second event in the year-long series,Passport to Israel, with a fascinating lecture,“AWindow IntoIsraeli Society Through Literature.” There is also still time to enjoy thelatest Theater Or production at the MACC-JCC, the award winning play,Apples From the Desert, but don’t wait too long – it closes November 6.
As you can see, there is a lot to do in Denver in November to enrich yourlife. We look forward to seeing you at some of these events.
