SUMMARY:JCC Book Club (daytime session)
DESCRIPTION:“Whenever you feel afraid\, just remember. Courage is the root of change – and change is what we’re chemically designed to do. So when you wake up tomorrow\, make this pledge. No more holding yourself back. No more subscribing to others’ opinions of what you can and cannot achieve…When you go home today\, ask yourself what YOU will change. And then get started.” -Elizabeth Zott\, Lessons in Chemistry \nJoin us to discuss the bestselling book Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus\, which explores love\, loss\, family\, sexism\, science\, cooking\, relationships\, and so much more. Set in the 1950s and 60s\, the themes and lessons are relevant today–but Elizabeth Zott is like no one you have ever encountered before. \nNeed a copy of the book? Local store Transom Bookshop in Tarrytown is offering 10% off when mentioning the JCC book club. Email hello@transombookshop.com or call (914) 848-4232 to reserve your copy.

SUMMARY:Foreign Affairs Discussion: Will Brexit Destroy the United Kingdom?

SUMMARY:That's How The Light Gets In: A Musical Tribute to Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of music and connection in honor of Leonard Cohen’s 7th yahrzeit. \nNobel laureate and modern-day prophet Leonard Cohen’s timeless body of work as a songwriter\, performer\, and poet spans more than 50 years and explores religion\, politics\, isolation\, love\, and mortality.

After the concert\, we’ll gather for wine and light snacks. \nWhere: The concert will take place in the Experiential Theater at The Masters School 49 Clinton Ave. Dobbs Ferry NY. The theater is inside the Fonseca Center and is handicap accessible. Plenty of parking is on site. \nWhen: The show runs from 3-4:15 and will be immediately followed by a casual reception in the Sharon Room. \nWho: This event is organized by a consortium of Rivertowns synagogues including Temple Beth Abraham\, Temple Beth Shalom\, Pleasantville Community Synagogue\, Woodlands Community Temple\, and Greenburgh Hebrew Center\, and generously sponsored by UJA-Federation of NY. It is geared towards adults 55+ but all are welcome! \nAbout the Performers: \nShira Averbuch \nNamed “the golden-voiced singer” by The New York Times\, Shira Averbuch\, is a NYC based Israeli-American singer-songwriter and actor.
