our second annual women’s retreat. This year we
will be exploring ‘Interactive Meditation’ – how to
live our lives with mindfulness. The day will
include a creative Shabbat service, text study and discussion, and an opportunity to try mindfulness practices that bring greater consciousness to our speech, what we eat, and our awareness of the world around us. Participation limited to 25 people. A voluntary contribution of $36.00 is requested to cover costs. Each participant will be asked to bring a specific kind of food contribution to a communal lunch when they register with Lynn in the office at 336-1858.
Senator Christopher Dodd will speak and sign copies of his new book Letters from Nuremberg: My Father’s Narrative of a Quest for Justice. Nuremberg researcher Joseph Persico, wrote “the trial sprang to life when I encountered the role of prosecutor Thomas Dodd. Fortunately, in hundreds of letters home, Dodd recorded an unvarnished insider view of the tribunal. Today the outcome of Nuremberg may seem foregone. But Dodd’s vivid account reveals how feuds among allies, prosecutors and judges nearly sank the world’s first trial in which the rule of law triumphed over a reign of barbarism.” The senator will be signing copies of the book, which will be available for purchase.
