Jewish Java and River Garden Senior Services co- host author Sally Constain BY ISABEL BALOTIN
Shalom Jacksonville Director shalomjax@jewishjacksonville.org
Shalom Jacksonville invites the community to attend its monthly Jewish Java program which will be held Wednesday, May 4th from 9-10:30 a.m. at River Garden Senior Services (11401 Old St. Augustine Rd.), where a complimentary bagel nosh will be served. May is Jewish American Heritage Month, which recognizes the many achievements of the outstanding Jewish scientists, authors, doctors, celebrities and politicians, who most likely had a parent or grandparent that immigrated to the United States. In light of this special recognition month, author and newcomer Sally Constain will share her inspiration for writing ‘The Keys to Fanny’, a coming-of-age novel that captures the hopes and challenges of the female Jewish immigrant experience. The book is about 13-year old Fanny who faces a bleak future after the sudden death of her mother. Forbidden to learn how to read and write in her native Ukraine, Fanny is forced to care for the family after her father remarries. Upon learning that a

marriage has been arranged for her with her stepmother’s lazy, cruel nephew, Fanny panics, but when her Aunt Freda offers her secret passage on a boat headed to America, she faces a crucial choice. To attend this event, an RSVP is required and can be given to Isabel Balotin at 904-448-5000, ext. 206 or at shalomjax@jewishjacksonville.org. Please note that the June 1st, July 6th and August 3rd Javas will also be held at River Garden. Our appreciation is given to the Federation’s partner agency, for providing the bagel noshes for the summer Javas. It doesn’t matter how long you have lived in Jacksonville, you are invited to join us and enjoy a bagel nosh in
a casual and friendly atmosphere, where you’ll learn from knowledgeable speakers and find out the latest happenings in the Jewish and general community. The Jewish Federation’s Shalom Jacksonville is the official Jewish welcome wagon of Northeast Florida. Next Java is scheduled for Wednesday, June 1st from 9-10:30 a.m. at The Coves at River Garden, and is titled ‘Get your daily dose’, featuring guest speaker Kristin Spinner, who is a professional wellness coach.
