SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, February 21 at 12:30 pm\, in the comfort of your own home via Zoom!\nWe will be discussing Matti Friedman’s The Aleppo Codex.\nTo join the Zoom meeting  click here\nMeeting ID: 870 6802 4283\nPassword: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nWinner of the 2014 Sami Rohr Prize\nWinner of the American Library Association’s 2013 Sophie Brody Medal\nWinner of the 2013 Canadian Jewish Book Award for history\nOne of Booklist’s top ten religion books of the year\, 2013\nFinalist\, Religion Newswriters Association award for best religion book of 2013 \nA thousand years ago\, the most perfect copy of the Hebrew Bible was written. It was kept safe through one upheaval after another in the Middle East. By the 1940s it was housed in a dark grotto in Aleppo\, Syria\, and had become known around the world as the Aleppo Codex. \nMatti Friedman’s true-life detective story traces how this precious manuscript was smuggled from its hiding place in Syria into the newly founded state of Israel—and how and why many of its most sacred and valuable pages went missing. It’s a tale that involves secret agents\, pious clergymen\, obsessive antiquities collectors\, and highly placed national figures who\, as it turns out\, would do anything to get their hands on an ancient book. What it reveals are uncomfortable truths about greed\, state cover-ups\, and the fascinating role of historical treasures in creating a national identity. \nFriedman has unearthed documents kept secret for fifty years\, interviewed key players from around the world\, and followed the trail of the missing pages up to the present\, including the charged four-year court battle to determine the codex’s rightful owners. Friedman also takes us back in time\, revealing the once vibrant Jewish communities in Islamic lands. Epic in its sweep\, The Aleppo Codex features a fascinating cast of characters—all of whom claim the codex as their own. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMatti Friedman\, a journalist and contributor to the New York Times Op-Ed Section\, is the author of two previous works of nonfiction. \nHis 2016 book Pumpkinflowers: A Soldier’s Story of a Forgotten War was chosen as a New York Times’ Notable Book and as one of Amazon’s 10 best books of the year. Pumpkinflowers was selected as one of the year’s best by Booklist\, Mother Jones\, Foreign Affairs\, the National Post\, and the Globe and Mail. It won the 2017 Vine Award for Canadian Jewish literature and the Canadian Jewish Literary Award for memoir\, and was shortlisted for the 2017 RBC Taylor Prize\, the Writer’s Trust Prize\, and the Yitzhak Sadeh Prize for military writing (Israel). Editions were published in the US\, Britain\, Canada\, Israel\, and China. \nMatti’s first book\, The Aleppo Codex\, an investigation into the strange fate of an ancient Bible manuscript\, won the 2014 Sami Rohr Prize\, the ALA’s Sophie Brody Medal\, and the Canadian Jewish Book Award for history. It was translated into seven languages. \nSpies of No Country\, the story of Israel’s first intelligence agents in 1948\, has received the 2018 Natan Book Award. \nA former Associated Press correspondent\, Matti’s work as a reporter has taken him from Israel to Lebanon\, Morocco\, Moscow\, the Caucasus\, and Washington\, DC\, and his writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal\, the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, Tablet Magazine\, and elsewhere. Two essays he wrote about media coverage of Israel after the 2014 Gaza war\, for Tablet and The Atlantic\, triggered intense discussion and have been shared on Facebook more than 130\,000 times. \nHe was born in Toronto and lives in Jerusalem with his family. \n

SUMMARY:Torah Over Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Torah Over Zoom: Purim in a Pandemic – What We Can Do  \nOn Tuesday\, February 16 at 7:00 pm\, please join in as we continue our weekly Torah study. This week’s topic is especially timely since COVID-19 hit us fully just after last year’s holiday. \nLast week\, we studied a teshuvah (responsum) of the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly (The CJLS) about how to best read/hear Megillat Esther given current COVID restrictions. However\, this is but one of the four mitzvot of Purim. This week we will study more about how those commands can be observed – pandemic or not. \nJoin us as we prepare for our first (and\, God-willing\, last) COVID Purim by clicking on this Zoom link on Tuesday evening at 7:00.

DESCRIPTION:Torah Over Zoom: Purim in a Pandemic  \nOn Tuesday\, February 9 at 7:00 pm\, please join in as we continue our weekly Torah study. This week’s topic is especially timely since COVID-19 hit us fully just after last year’s holiday. \nJust a few days ago\, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly (The CJLS) overwhelmingly passed a teshuvah (responsum) by Rabbi Avram Reisner detailing several acceptable Megillah reading procedures\, in descending order of halakhic desirability\, all of which expect communities to observe COVID precautions and obey local health regulations. You can read and download the responsum by clicking here. \nJoin us as we prepare for our first (and\, God-willing\, last) COVID Purim by clicking on this Zoom link on Tuesday evening at 7:00.

SUMMARY:Torah Over Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Does One Need To Be Jewish To Be a Synaogue Member?  \nOn Tuesday\, February 2 at 7:00 pm\, please join in as we continue our weekly Torah study. This week we will continue our study of some timely and pressing issues. \nA few years ago\, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism began to discuss permitting non-Jews membership in our synagogues. In short order\, the umbrella group of Conservative/Masorti congregations passed a resolution allowing the practice. Although the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards has never considered the issue as one of halakhah\, it has provoked broad and animated discussion. \nJoin us as we consider the broader issue\, “What does synagogue membership mean?” by clicking on this Zoom link on Tuesday evening at 7:00. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Torah Over Zoom: Organ Donation (Part II)
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, January 26 at 7:00 pm\, please join in as we continue our weekly Torah study. This week we will continue our study of some timely and pressing issues. \nYou may be aware that the law governing organ and tissue donation has changed in NS on Sunday\, January 18. According to NS Provincial law\, we are now all potential organ donors\, having presumed consent\, unless we opt-out. \nWhat does Jewish tradition and law have to say about “presumed consent\,” and how should we respond as Jews? Join us for what will undoubtably be a lively discussion of the issue of “presumed consent” using Jewish sources. \n  \nYou may also find the materials from last week’s class on organ and tissue donation helpful and interesting as we move forward in this complex issue: for a responsum (position paper) of the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly by Rabbi Joseph Prouser\, click here; for Rabbi Prouser’s sample text of a “Donation Card\,” click here. \nTo participate\, click on this Zoom link on Tuesday evening.

His many clients included Hannah Arendt\, Max Ernst\, Marcel Duchamp\, and Marc Chagall\, and the race against time to save them is a tale of forbidden love\, high-stakes adventure\, and unimaginable courage. \n“Masterfully crafted and impossible to put down\, The Flight Portfolio offers a testament to the enduring power of art\, and love\, in any form.” —Entertainment Weekly \n“Bighearted\, gorgeous\, historical\, suspenseful\, everything you want a novel to be” (—Andrew Sean Greer\, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Less)\, a new book inspired by the World War II story you’ve never heard—the real-life quest of an unlikely hero to save the lives and work of Europe’s great minds from the impending Holocaust. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nJulie Orringer is the New York Timesbest-selling author of two award-winning books: The Invisible Bridge\, a novel\, and How to Breathe Underwater\, a collection of stories. She has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Cullman Center at the New York Public Library\, the MacDowell Colony\, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard.
