Upcoming Featured Events A Jewish Community Conversation for Boomers and Beyond

NextStage: Looking Forward and Giving Back Sunday, November 9 10:30 am—5:00 pm (reception to follow) Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills A conference for boomers and those slightly beyond, who know that there is less time ahead than there was behind, and are open to exploring making meaning and purpose out of the time we have left.

With Marc Freedman, CEO and founder of Encore.org (formerly Civic Ventures), Freedman has been described by The New York Times as “the voice of aging baby boomers who are eschewing retirement for…meaningful and sustaining work later in life.” He is author of several books, including The Big Shift: Navigating the New Stage Beyond Midlife.

NextStage begins the important Jewish conversation about looking forward and giving back. Jewish tradition and community offer us so much at this point in our lives in the context of learning, travel, housing, and service to others. How do we stay connected to both younger and older people? What new rituals does this stage of life call for?

Register: www.tebh.org/NextStageNov9 Cost: $54 online $60 at the door (lunch included) For more information: tebh.org/nextstage Co-sponsored by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with additional support from the Angell Foundation and the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles. Community partners include the Kalsman Institute, University Synagogue, IKAR, Kehillat Israel, Temple Isaiah, Congregation B’nai Brith of Santa Barbara, B’nai David-Judea Congregation, Temple Beth Am, Leo Baeck Temple, and Valley Beth Shalom.

B’nai Mitzvah Harrison A. Stone

Avery Palmer

I am going into 7th grade at El Rodeo. I like playing basketball, football, soccer, and hanging out with my friends. My parents are Scott Stone and Gary Brown. I have a younger sibling named Ethan, who is 10.

My parents Patty and Isaac, along with my older sisters Dora and Bea, are really excited to watch me lead the service and read from the Torah. I also have a large, extended family that reaches all the way around the world, so I will have relatives from New York, Massachusetts, and even Melbourne, Australia here to celebrate with me.

November 8

For my Mitzvah project I will be collecting money to donate to Innovation: Africa, a Jewish organization that uses Israeli technology to help people in Africa. They install solar panels in small villages without electricity so that they have light, clean water, drip irrigation systems, and refrigeration for medicine.

This organization has saved thousands of lives in Africa and will save countless more in the years to come, and in the process they promote good feelings about Israel.

I would like to thank Rabbi Geller, Cantor Kliger, Jeff Madger, Lynn Franklin, and Lizzie Weiss for helping me prepare for my Bar Mitzvah.

November 15

I just started junior high school at Campbell Hall, where I am playing tackle football and also learning to play alto saxophone.

I love trying new things: I taught myself to ride a unicycle last year, and I’m also working on improving my skateboarding.

I have always been into sports, so I wanted to find a way to help disadvantaged kids play the sports they like. For my mitzvah project, I have become a Collection Leader for the organization Sports Gift, which gathers gently used and new sporting equipment, such as cleats, helmets, jerseys, bats, golf clubs, lacrosse sticks, etc. to distribute to kids in need around Los Angeles. I know this will be a very rewarding project for me personally so I’m very excited about beginning it.

It is especially exciting for me to have my bar mitzvah at Temple Emanuel because I went to preschool here. I have fun memories of everything from playing on Clark Yard to making holiday crafts my parents still display in our home, to being “Shabbat boy” and learning all those fun songs my sisters and I still remember. I’d like to thank my entire family for supporting me as I prepare for and celebrate my special day. I’d also like to thank Rabbi Geller, Cantor Kliger, Lizzie Weiss, Perry Oretzky, and Jeff Magder for their help and support.
