SUMMARY:Torah Over Zoom: Passover Is Coming
DESCRIPTION:In just a few weeks we will be ushering in (our second COVID) Pesaḥ! \nFor many years\, the Rabbinical Assembly (the international association of Conservative/Masorti rabbis) has published a “Pesaḥ Guide” – the focus of which is the complicated laws and traditions of Kosher-for-Passover foods and their preparation. \nOn Tuesday\, March 16 at 7:00 p.m.\, please join us as we continue our weekly Torah study. This week we will continue to look at Pesaḥ issues\, using the RA’s “5781 (2021) Pesaḥ Guide” as a resource. You can download and view this year’s Guide by clicking here. Rabbi Karlin will also endeavour to answer all your Passover questions; please email them to him in advance at rabbi@theshaar.ca. \nJoin us for some enlightening learning by clicking on this Zoom link on Tuesday evening at 7:00.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, March 21 at 12:30 PM\, in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Gary Barwin’s Yiddish for Pirates. \nZoom Meeting Info\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82114898611?pwd=Y1pqYlpwdGNaeHpYM2RPM09WcmRFQT09\nMeeting ID: 821 1489 8611\nPassword: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nShortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize \nNominated for the Governor-General’s Award for Literature \nSet in the years around 1492\, Yiddish for Pirates recounts the compelling story of Moishe\, a Bar Mitzvah boy who leaves home to join a ship’s crew\, where he meets Aaron\, the polyglot parrot who becomes his near-constant companion. \nFrom a present-day Florida nursing home\, this wisecracking yet poetic bird guides us through a world of pirate ships\, Yiddish jokes and treasure maps. But Inquisition Spain is a dangerous time to be Jewish and Moishe joins a band of hidden Jews trying to preserve some forbidden books. He falls in love with a young woman\, Sarah; though they are separated by circumstance\, Moishe’s wanderings are motivated as much by their connection as by his quest for loot and freedom. When all Jews are expelled from Spain\, Moishe travels to the Caribbean with the ambitious Christopher Columbus\, a self-made man who loves his creator. Moishe eventually becomes a pirate and seeks revenge on the Spanish while seeking the ultimate booty: the Fountain of Youth. \nThis outstanding New Face of Fiction is filled with Jewish takes on classic pirate tales–fights\, prison escapes\, and exploits on the high seas–but it’s also a tender love story\, between Moishe and Sarah\, and between Aaron and his “shoulder\,” Moishe. Rich with puns\, colourful language\, post-colonial satire and Kabbalistic hijinks\, Yiddish for Pirates is also a compelling examination of mortality\, memory\, identity and persecution from one of this country’s most talented writers. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nGary Barwin is a writer\, composer\, and multimedia artist\, and the author of 20 books of poetry\, fiction and books for children. His recent books include the short fiction collection I\, Dr Greenblatt\, Orthodontist\, 251-1457 and the poetry collections Moon Baboon Canoe and The Wild and Unfathomable Always. A PhD in music composition\, Barwin has been Writer-in-Residence at Western University and Young Voices eWriter-in-residence at the Toronto Public Library and has taught creative writing at a number of colleges and universities. Born in Northern Ireland to South African parents of Ashkenazi descent\, Barwin moved to Canada as a child. He is married with three adult children\, and lives in Hamilton\, Ontario.
