SUMMARY:Selihot
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday night at 9:30 we will usher in the final countdown to the High Holidays with our yearly Seliḥot (“Penitential”) service\, preparing ourselves spiritually and ethically for the High Holiday season. This year we will have the choice to attend in-person\, or participate remotely over two different virtual platforms\, StreamSpot and Zoom.  \n  \nSeliḥot is a good way to get into the mood of these “Days of Awe\,” as well as refamiliarize ourselves with some of the beautiful High Holiday melodies we’ll soon sing together on Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur in synagogue.  \n  \nThis year’s Seliḥot is unique\, as we will all have a chance to hear and meet our High Holiday ḥazzan\, Jonathon Adler\, who will be joining us remotely from away. Jonathon is a Rabbinical School student at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York\, and we are excited to welcome him (and his beautiful singing voice) to the Shaar to enrich our tefillah\, beginning with Seliḥot.  \n  \nWe will gather in-person in the Shaar sanctuary this Saturday night at 9:30\, and the StreamSpot and Zoom webcasts will be live then.  \n  \nLooking forward to sharing this very unique service with you.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, September 18 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Olga Tokarczuk’s The Books of Jacob \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81355181514?pwd=QmhLdDZ6ekQ2a1FLMmRWK2tXU0F0Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 813 5518 1514\nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \nThe Nobel Prize–winner’s richest\, most sweeping and ambitious novel yet follows the comet-like rise and fall of a mysterious\, messianic religious leader as he blazes his way across eighteenth-century Europe. \nIn the mid-eighteenth century\, as new ideas—and a new unrest—begin to sweep the Continent\, a young Jew of mysterious origins arrives in a village in Poland. Before long\, he has changed not only his name but his persona; visited by what seem to be ecstatic experiences\, Jacob Frank casts a charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent following. In the decade to come\, Frank will traverse the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires with throngs of disciples in his thrall as he reinvents himself again and again\, converts to Islam and then Catholicism\, is pilloried as a heretic and revered as the Messiah\, and wreaks havoc on the conventional order\, Jewish and Christian alike\, with scandalous rumors of his sect’s secret rituals and the spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs. The story of Frank—a real historical figure around whom mystery and controversy swirl to this day—is the perfect canvas for the genius and unparalleled reach of Olga Tokarczuk. Narrated through the perspectives of his contemporaries—those who revere him\, those who revile him\, the friend who betrays him\, the lone woman who sees him for what he is—The Books of Jacob captures a world on the cusp of precipitous change\, searching for certainty and longing for transcendence. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Olga Tokarczuk has won the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Man Booker International Prize\, among many other honors. She is the author of a dozen works of fiction\, two collections of essays\, and a children’s book; her work has been translated into fifty languages.
