NG New Year, New You Fitness and Brunch Event
Do you love to read? Do you have a few hours once a month to help in the CBI library? We are looking for some special volunteers who would sit in our new and beautiful library and help people check out books, use our laptops to access Ancestry, and do a few tasks to keep the books in order and easy to find. If you have time on Thursdays from 4:15 to 6, or Sundays from 10 AM- 12 PM, and would like to become a special friend of the library, please contact Marge Congress at maven345@yahoo.com. She’ll contact you to set up a training session and get you a time slot.

Saturday, January 30, 6:30 PM Rose Schnitzer Manor
Sunday, February 28, 4:00 PM Home of Michael Richman
The program is called “Jewish Bio-ethics: On The Matters of Life and Death, Healing and Deciding.” For more information contact Morrie Jackson at morris.jcksn@gmail.com
In the film, Emmy Award winning director Tor Ben Mayor follows a group of twenty-seven Palestinians and Israelis who meet under the frame of a unique project led by the Parents Circle Families Forum. The project’s goal is to acknowledge the narrative of the other. Participants include Orthodox Jews, religious Muslims, settlers, exIDF soldiers, ex-security prisoners, citizens of the Gaza strip, kibbutz members, second generation Holocaust survivors, non-violent activists, and more. Each and every one has their own historical truths and carry with them their own emotional baggage. More information about the film and a trailer are available at www.theparentscircle.com/Content.aspx?ID=60#.VmcvddIrK70. This film is free and open to the public.
