[Jewish] Weekly Jewish Spiritual Life lunches, plus mediation, chant and drumming begin this week with Rabbi Steve

[Steven Nathan]

Just a reminder that every week there are two weekly Jewish life 
lunches.  Both of these will be from 12-1 in Saga (in the front dining 
room near the far wall - hopefully).  If you are not on the meal plan, 
just let Roberta know that you're there for lunch with me and she'll 
sign you in so you don't have to pay.

Wednesdays at noon is Lunch and Shmooze (and Learn) with me. We'll do 
just what it says.  We'll eat, shmooze and do a little informal learning 
together.

Thursdays at noon is the Hebrew Lunch Table.  This is an opportunity to 
speak Hebrew over lunch.  This is for all levels, as we're very good at 
helping everyone to understand what's going on.

Also tomorrow (Wednesday) our first Jewish Meditation, Chant and 
Drumming will take place from 4:15 - 5:00 in the Spiritual Life Center 
(top of Donut 5 in Greenwich.  Use the Door with the ramp that faces 
donut 4).  NO knowledge of meditation, Judaism, Hebrew or chanting is 
necessary!  You don't need to be Jewish either.  It's open to all.
If you are a drummer please feel free to bring a drum with you.

I hope to see you there!

Also, just a reminder that the "Judaism Outside the Box" discussions 
with dessert, etc. will  begin on Tuesday Sept. 29.  They will be from 
7-8pm in the Merrill Living Room.  If you have any "out of the box" 
topics that you'd like to discuss please e-mail me.  Any topic is possible!

Wishing you all a Shana tova u'metukah - a Happy and Sweet New Year!

/"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. /

/"It also became clear to me that in regard to cruelties committed in 
the name of a free society, some are guilty, all are responsible."/
