SUMMARY:Встреча с создателями фильма «Новые Протоколы Сионских мудрецов»
DESCRIPTION:Всех желающих приглашаем 22-го июня на совместный просмотр фильма. Это будет здесь\, в нашей группе! После просмотра состоится онлайн-встреча с создателями и участниками фильма Elena Ulanovski\, Alexander Kaplan\, Alexander Kazarnovsky \, Pinchas Polonsky и др. \nПосле просмотра встречаемся на конференции Zoom. \nТема: Встреча с создателями фильма «Новые Протоколы Сионских мудрецов» \nНачало просмотра\n22 июн 2020 18:00 Иерусалим – 11:00 a.m. Бостон \nНачало обсуждения\n22 июн 2020 19:00 Иерусалим – 12:00 p.m. Бостон \nПодключиться к конференции Zoom \nИдентификатор конференции: 543 329 5430 \nПароль: 4310 \nФильм режиссера Александра Каплана – художественного руководителя израильского Театра”Матара” и продюсера Елены Улановской получил диплом Нью-Йоркского Фестиваля русских документальных фильмов и Московского кинофестиваля детективных фильмов. \nЭто не единственная наша совместная работа \nпотому что как говорят на английском : \nTeam work makes a dream work \nчто обозначает \nВместе мы сила! \nИтак: \nДраматические события последних лет: войны\, революции\, усиление террора не вселяют оптимизма современному человеку. Противоречивые прогнозы ведущих мировых светил в различных областях знаний\, только усугубляют растерянность в жителях планеты Земля.Идея нашего фильма состояла в том \, что бы собрать экономистов\, писателей\, политологов Израиля и спрогнозировать перспективы развития человечества на ближайшие 10 — 15 лет с точки зрения израильтян в частности и евреев в целом. \nВедь здесь\, в Израиле \, нам виднее — “Связь местная”. \nНачало просмотра в 18-00 по Израилю. Разумеется\, можно посмотреть кино заранее и подготовить список каверзных вопросов\, пусть попробуют ответить! Или не ответить).

SUMMARY:Вебинар - Что такое мое духовное развитие
DESCRIPTION:Вся история человечества была развитием в материальной плоскости\, где мы были замкнуты внутри себя\, стремясь лишь увеличить наше внутреннее желание получать\, стараясь наполнить его насколько возможно. \nНо сегодня мы приходим к состоянию разочарования в своих попытках обрести какое-то наслаждение\, ради которого и развивалось наше желание. Именно тогда в человеке раскрывается точка в сердце – желание найти ответ на вопрос\, как же в любом случае можно достичь ощущения совершенной и вечной жизни. И он становится на путь своего духовного развития. \nЧто значит духовное развитие? В чем оно проявляется?

SUMMARY:Global Jewish Citizenship in a 21st Century Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Global Jewish Citizenship in a 21st Century Pandemic\nWednesday\, June 10 │ 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time U.S. \nDear Friend\, \nIn recent days\, our communities and our country have felt so broken and so divided. As we grapple with solutions to our many challenges here at home\, we are also thinking about our relationships as global Jewish citizens. What does it mean to be connected to and responsible for Jews and Jewish communities around the world\, especially during a crisis? What is our collective responsibility to the broader world and the communities with whom we live and interact? \nI hope you’ll join me to explore these issues along with Aviva Klompas\, Associate Vice President of Israel and Global Jewish Citizenship at Combined Jewish Philanthropies\, and Asher Ostrin\, CEO of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC)\, also known as the “Jewish 911.” \nRabbi Marc Baker\nPresident and CEO \nRegister \nFor more information email Dan. \nAviva Klompas is the Associate Vice President\, Israel and Global Jewish Citizenship at CJP in Boston.

SUMMARY:Сороковые – роковые
DESCRIPTION:Дорогие друзья! \nВ честь 75-летия окончания войны Театр на крыше приглашает вас посмотреть online-версию нашего спектакля “Сороковые-роковые”. \nВ течение многих лет мы традиционно показываем этот спектакль ко Дню Победы. К сожалению\, на этот раз соблюсти традицию “очно” невозможно\, поэтому мы предлагаем запись\, сделанную 4 года назад (9 мая 2016 г.) Просим извинить за неважное качество записи (она делалась не для публичного показа\, и при компрессии качество существенно ухудшается)\, но давайте считать\, что оно соответствует условиям военного времени. Однако мы не можем сегодня не вспомнить о тех\, кто жертвовал своими жизнями для нашей жизни и жизни наших детей. \nТеатр на крыше желает вам всех благ и с нетерпением ждет наших “очных” встреч на будущих спектаклях. В настоящее время мы готовим три новых премьеры. \nСмотрите спектакль “Сороковые-роковые” на нашем канале на YouTube. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:LimmudBoston eFestival
DESCRIPTION:LimmudBoston eFestival\nBE A PART\, NOT APART \nJoin us on Sunday\, May 3rd for LimmudBoston’s eFestival to explore some of Judaism’s most interesting and profound ideas. \nFeaturing three rabbis and rabbinical students who are members of the LimmudBoston Board of Directors\, our eFestival will address “Jewish responses to life in unsettling times.” \nWhether you are able to attend one\, two\, or all three sessions\, you are invited to sign up now. Only those who register will receive a Zoom link to attend the eFest. \nWe hope you are keeping well and safe during these uncertain times.\nWhile practicing social distancing\, you can still be an important part of your LimmudBoston community! \nJoin us for our eFestival bringing you some of the most interesting and significant Jewish ideas today. Connect with Jewish community\, cultivate your curiosity and expand your horizons\, all from the comfort of your home. \nSunday\, May 3 from 10:00 am – 1:30 pm\nFeaturing rabbis and rabbinical students who are members\nof the LimmudBoston Board of Directors. \nFinding your path…\nJewish Responses to Life in Unsettling Times \n10:00 am – Blessing Hard Times: What Mishnah Berachot teaches about patience\, endurance and gratitude\nIn this interactive session\, we will look into the Talmud to study selections from Mishnah Berachot\, which may be familiar to those who have been doing – or hearing about – Daf Yomi (daily Talmud study). We will look at a handful of mishnayot (in English) through the lens of personal and communal hardship and discuss how the wisdom they contain might also apply to our present situation — both personal and communal. \nNaomi Gurt Lind has been an opera singer\, a synagogue executive\, and a stay-at-home mother. In September she started school at Hebrew College in pursuit of her long-held dream of becoming a rabbi. In her free time\, she hangs out with her husband and their two genius boys\, solves crossword puzzles (in pencil)\, and bakes a legendary challah. \n11:10 am – Finding Order in a Pick-Up-Sticks World with Mussar  \nThe virus has played the old children’s game of Pick Up Sticks with our daily routines. All our schedules have been suddenly turned upside down. In this session\, we will explore how the Mussar middah (trait) of seder/order can help us manage our time\, spaces\, and mental health during this time. We will study texts and spiritual practices. No prior knowledge is needed. Open to beginners and advanced Mussarniks. \nMarcia Plumb is the Senior Rabbi of Congregation Mishkan Tefila\, Brookline. She has studied and taught Mussar for over 25 years\, and is working to embed Mussar into all aspects of her synagogue. She teaches several classes at Mishkan Tefila and throughout Boston\, as well as online internationally. Marcia lives in Needham with her husband and two children. \n12:20 pm – Jewish End-of-Life Decision Making  \nHow can Jewish texts and traditions guide us as we face dilemmas of end-of-life decision making in our modern world? In addition to exploring this question\, we’ll talk about documents everyone should have\, along with ways to have conversations about our wishes for medical treatment at the end of life or in the face of a terminal condition. \nJulie Wolkoff is a hospice chaplain with BI Lahey Health @ Home – Watertown and has been a hospice chaplain for over 12 years. She received her rabbinic ordination from HUC-JIR in 1982 and her Doctor of Ministry degree in 1996 and Certification in Thanatology (the study of death\, dying\, and Bereavement) from the Association for Death Education and Counseling in 2010. She previously served as the Director of Chaplaincy Services for the United Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York. \nThere is no cost for registering but everyone needs to sign up\, whether you’re interested in one\, two\, or all three sessions. Those who register will receive a Zoom link for the entire eFestival. For security reasons\, no one will be able to receive a link without pre-registering. \nWherever you find yourself\, Limmud will take you one step further on your Jewish journey\nSign Up \n\nLimmudBoston gratefully acknowledges the resources and funding of: \n  \nCorporate Sponsor:
