Here is a brief synopsis of her story: At sixteen, Susan wants to be doing anything other than lighting Sabbath candles at her grandparents’ house. After dinner this evening, though, her grandmother begins to teach her about a great aunt she never knew and more about her Jewish heritage—lessons that shape who she will become. Have your wine, candles, and challah ready for Shabbat blessings! For more information or to RSVP, please click HERE. We will send the Zoom link right to your email. See you there! 
Tuesday, January 26 at 8:00 pm Please join us on Zoom when the CBA Book Club will be meeting to discuss The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schultz. Copies can be purchased through book sellers on the internet.
Here is a summary of The Street of Crocodiles excerpted from PaknTreger: In this surrealistic work, set in the Polish city of Drohobycz, Schulz’s narrator weaves his memories of childhood into an interlinked series of fantastic stories taking place in his father’s small haberdashery. . . Schulz’s work has been compared with that of Kafka and Thomas Mann. If you would like to attend the discussion, please contact Shelly at info@congregationbethabraham.net to receive the Zoom link in your email. 
Sunday, January 17 at 4:30 pm The next Vintage Jewish Movie Group meeting will be Sunday, January 17th, tentatively at 4:30 pm.
