Thousands of women — ordinary mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters, both Christian and Muslim — came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they demanded a resolution to the country’s civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about a agreement during the stalled peace talks. A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.

As adults we approach Judaism asking how it can enrich our lives today, with a desire for Judaic competency and literacy. Pathways to Jewish Knowledge will address these twin goals of thought and practice. We will explore Jewish life cycle events, holidays, theological precepts and prayer, starting with the fundamentals and beyond. We aspire to create a community of learners committed to learning and respectful dialogue. Please bring lunch with you.

Values and Virtues Values and Virtues Adult Education Events Tuesday March 16, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm Location: Community House - Room 603 Marion Lev Cohen, MSW and Rabbinical Intern How can Jewish ethical values and virtues enrich and guide us, be it in our personal conduct, or in our relationships with others and with God? Our texts and tradition speak to us about how to live an ethical and meaningful existence. They embrace matters ranging from hachnasat orchim (welcoming of guests) to miyut sichah (minimizing small talk), as just two examples of values that can inform our everyday behavior. We will encounter, explore, and struggle with these concepts as they emerge in biblical and rabbinic sources. We will discuss how these teachings inspire us to live more spiritual and fulfilling lives, and help us create families and communities built on respect and trust. Contact: .
