Finding Your Roots - Barbara Walters
Sunday, April 1, 7:00 PM
Great Meadow Hall
Shapiro Community Center Building
at
NewBridge on the Charles (Dedham)
The PBS genealogy series Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. is now in its second season. This Sunday's episode features Barbara Walters and her Polish-Jewish ancestry. The research was carried out by long-time JGSGB member Jim Yarin, who appears on the show.
We invite you to come an hour before the TV show starts to hear Jim Yarin describe his experience doing the research, after which we will watch the show on a large-screen projection TV.
Join us at 7 PM at NewBridge on the Charles at 5000 Great Meadow Road in Dedham. You can see a flyer for the event by clicking here. This program is free and open to the public.
For directions, see either the written directions in the section below or the online directions at:
www.hebrewseniorlife.org/newbridge-directions
Follow the final directions for "Independent Living" at the bottom of that page.
For those who like maps, here are links to two annotated Google Map images, one showing the entire NewBridge complex and one showing the precise location of the Shapiro Community Center and its parking lot.

More Detailed MapIf you cannot join us at NewBridge, you can, of course, watch (or record) the show on your own TV on April 1st at 8 pm on the PBS channel.
Directions
If you use a GPS, enter "45 West Street, Dedham", as your destination (West Street is part of Route 135). That is the address of the entrance to the NewBridge complex (162 acres). Great Meadow Road is inside the complex and still too new to be on most GPSs.
From Route 95/128 Southbound
Take EXIT 17 (Route 135 east), marked "Needham/Natick" (no mention of Dedham !!).
At the end of the exit ramp, take a RIGHT onto Route 135 east (West Street), heading toward DEDHAM Square. Pass through one set of lights almost immediately and go under the two overpass bridges where Route 128 runs overhead.
Then you will see TWO MORE traffic lights ahead. The first one would take you back onto Route 128. Ignore it, and continue to the second traffic light, which is very close after the first. There is a left hand lane and a left arrow for the LEFT turn. This is the entrance to NewBridge and Rashi School. The sign is on a small wall and a little hard to read. The traffic light is the key.
Once you enter the NewBridge property, keep going to the end of the road (over 2 traffic bumps), about 0.5 miles, to a STOP sign. You will see the Rashi School on your left. Turn RIGHT and follow the signs around to the "Community Center" (SECOND LEFT). The Shapiro Community Center Building is at 5000 Great Meadow Road, and the parking lot for it is " P2". Hopefully you can find a spot to park. If all are filled, feel free to park along the roadway.
When you come into the main building, turn left, then immediately right to go downstairs (or take elevator). When you get down the stairs, turn right and then left down the corridor to Great Meadow Hall.
From Route 95/128 Northbound
Take Route 95/128 northbound to EXIT 17 (Route 135 east), marked "Needham/Natick" (no mention of Dedham). At the end of the exit ramp, there is a light. Take a LEFT at the light onto Route 135 east (West Street), heading toward Dedham Square. Only a few hundred yards further is another traffic light, which is the entrance to the NewBridge complex. There is a left hand lane and a left arrow for the LEFT turn. This is the entrance to NewBridge and Rashi School.
Once you enter the complex, follow the last two paragraphs of the southbound directions above.
