SUMMARY:For All Humankind
DESCRIPTION:Introducing a brand new course: For All Humankind. \nYour Judaism holds a message the world needs to hear—now more than ever. \nWe’re living in a time where values feel unclear… Where truth is debated\, and concepts like justice\, dignity\, and responsibility are constantly shifting. \nSo the question is: Do we truly understand the values that shaped our world? And can we clearly explain why they matter? This powerful 4-week course explores Judaism’s timeless vision—not just for the Jewish people\, but for all of humanity. \n📖 In this course\, you’ll discover: \n• Judaism’s universal mission \n• Why morality must have a higher foundation \n• The true purpose of education \n• How Judaism shaped the world’s sense of purpose and hope \nFour Mondays starting April 27 \nHot dinner served | No Charge \nThis is more than a class—it’s clarity in a confused world. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Author Judith Viorst - Making the Best of Whats Left
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register! \n \nJudith Viorst is the author of the Beloved Alexander and the Terrible\, Horrible\, No Good\, Very Bad Day\, which has sold four million copies; the Lulu books\, including Lulu and the Brontosaurus; \nThe New York Times best seller Necessary Losses; four musicals; and poetry for children and adults. Her most recent books include What Are You Glad About? What Are You Mad About? and Nearing Ninety. \n \nMaking the Best of What’s Left \nIn a career that has spanned more than fifty years\, Judith Viorst has captivated readers with her bestselling children’s books and collections of poetry reflecting on each decade of life. Now in her nineties\, Viorst writes about life’s “Final Fifth\,” those who are eighty to one hundred years old. Her signature blend of humor and vulnerability infuses personal anecdotes and observations\, drawing you into her world of memories and candid conversations. \nShe confesses\, “I never ever send a text while driving\, and not just because I don’t know how to text.” She discusses the afterlife (She doesn’t believe in it\, but if it exists\, she hopes her sister-in-law isn’t there). She complains to her dead husband (“I need you fixing our damn circuit breakers. I need you! Could you please stop being dead?”). And she explores the late-life meanings of wisdom and happiness and second chances and home. \nWith a wit that defies age\, Viorst navigates the terrain of loss. It’s a poignant dance between grief and levity that will resonate with those in their Final Fifth as well as anyone who has parents\, relatives\, or friends in their eighties and beyond. This is Judith Viorst at her best.
