The Book Club will meet on Sunday, January 29th at 12:30 p.m. at La Casa Restaurant, 4551 Duke Street in the Foxchase Shopping Center in Alexandria.

This month we are reading Michaelangelo in Ravensbruck, the memoir of Countess Karolina Lanckoronska, a Polish aristocrat,a Catholic and a professor of art history.  The memoir was written in 1945-46 and published in the U.S. in 2007.  The countess recounts the occupation of Poland by Russia and Germany, the work of the Polish underground, and her imprisonment in Ravensbruck during World War II.

Please join us!

A Kol Ami Adult Jewish Education Program

JEWISH BROADWAY COMPOSERS AND LYRICISTS
ON STAMPS AND IN SONG
 
Presenter:  Harriet Epstein
 
The founder of Reconstructionism, Rabbi Mordechai Kaplan, spoke of Judaism as
“an evolving civilization” – not just a religion, but a culture.  And what’s culture without Broadway?  You’ll have a whole new perspective on the Jewish influence on Broadway, and the ways Broadway has influenced contemporary Jewish culture, by attending this entertaining workshop presented by our own Harriet Epstein.  Using postage stamps, musical excerpts, biographical information, and humor, Harriet will provide an enjoyable afternoon of learning and reminiscence.
 
Location:  Arlington Unitarian Universalist Church – Room to be posted.
444 Arlington Boulevard, Arlington, VA (entrance off George Mason Drive)
 
No charge (donations to Kol Ami welcome)
 
Program suitable for adults of all ages (whether or not you can carry a Broadway tune)
 
Refreshments and beverages provided!

Please RSVP to rruth@erols.com by 1/22/12
