One of Havurah's members is Sacha Reich, the founder of the Jewish
Theatre Collaborative. Tonight, JTC will be hosting Professor Natan
Meir (PSU), who will give a lecture at 7:00 at Artists Repertory
Theatre, (15th and Alder). He's a wonderful, young resource in the
community, and he will be speaking on "The Destruction of a People and
Its Culture" - the vibrant and diverse Jewish life of pre-war Europe.
Thought some of you would be interested in this topic. Remember, last
week we spoke about the fact that the Jewish community had already
begun to evolve into a much richer, secular culture - prior to the big
move to America. When we have an historian in the community, it's a
good thing to capitalize on the opportunity to hear what he has to
say!
I'll be off to Israel in the morning, so I'm wishing you happy
preparations for Pesach.
Rabbi Joey
