Doing Jewish Differently - All Over!
|
You may or may not have noticed some changes to our website, www.kolhadash.com. Thanks to the diligent work of our editors Susan Addelson, Andrea Friedlander and Ilana Shaffer, along with our administrator extraordinaire Jeremy Owens, we now have clear design, eye-catching pictures, and engaging text on every page. In particular, we've leaned into our "Doing Jewish Differently" tagline to explore how we do Jewish holidays, life cycle events, and community differently as a Humanistic congregation. I invite you to browse through the site and experience what all their hard work has produced!

North Shore Unitarian Church & on Zoom

What happens when an Egyptian orchestra mistakenly winds up in a tiny Israeli town on a cultural exchange trip? “The Band’s Visit,” originally a 2007 Israeli film, became a Broadway musical a decade later, winning 10 Tony Awards. This Shabbat, we’ll honor our Theatre/Movie Group by discussing both the film and the stage musical (showing at Glencoe’s Writer’s Theater in February and March) and what lessons they might offer for bridging conflict and difference.

In Remembrance of the Holocaust
|
Saturday, April 13, 1:00pm
North Shore Unitarian Church
|
"In Remembrance of the Holocaust," is a collection of repertoire from composers whose lives were affected or taken by the Holocaust. The TraverSura Duo presents a recital of flute and piano music composed by Jewish composers of the early 20th century to honor their contributions to the flute repertoire. A masterclass in music of “vitality and significance,” this program features an exploration of traditional Pre-WWII harmonic language that sheds light on the conflict and political unrest while offering fleeting glimpses of serenity, ordinary life, and the desire to leave a musical legacy to be remembered. A video link to a piece we recorded as from a previous program: https://youtu.be/TsyUe8Tp42E
