SUMMARY:Verve Non-Fiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Verve Non-Fiction Book Club\nKillers of the Flower Moon by David Grann \nFREE for members and non-members \nAs the National Book Foundation notes\, Killers of the Flower Moon\, is a true story about the brutal murders behind white settlers’ attempted dispossession of an Osage family’s Oklahoma lands\, under which lay some of the world’s most valuable oil fields. That this conspiracy of theft\, terror\, and genocide helped launch J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI deepens the narrative’s moral complexity. Structured taut as a noir\, researched like an indictment\, and written with hard-boiled empathy\, the book leaves us to wonder at the unresolved and unrecorded crimes against Native Americans.

SUMMARY:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy
DESCRIPTION:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy\nSibling rivalry can be incredibly complicated- Joseph’s story \nThere is more to the Joseph story than Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It certainly doesn’t begin or end there. If we hadn’t gotten the message about the real-life dangers of sibling rivalry from earlier Genesis stories\, this one makes it all too painfully clear on what happens when a parent prefers one child over another. \nProject Genesis: The same story can have multiple meanings. The books of the Old Testament in particular are ripe with symbol\, metaphor\, and character\, providing the reader with the opportunity to unpack and analyze the meanings. In Project Genesis\, we will discuss different interpretations of some of the beloved stories we learned as children and now revisit as adults.

SUMMARY:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy
DESCRIPTION:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy\nJoin Rabbi Jay Stein and Reverend Gareth Evans as they discuss the story of Jacob wrestling with a man or an angel. Have you ever wondered what our faith teaches us about angels? Both Christianity and Judaism have a belief in intermediary forces called angels. This session will explore what our faiths say about the role they play in this story and the implications for our own lives. \nProject Genesis: The same story can have multiple meanings. The books of the Old Testament in particular are ripe with symbol\, metaphor\, and character\, providing the reader with the opportunity to unpack and analyze the meanings. In Project Genesis\, we will discuss different interpretations of some of the beloved stories we learned as children and now revisit as adults.

SUMMARY:PARADE on Broadway
DESCRIPTION:Broadway Trip to “Parade”\nJoin your JCC friends for a matinee showing of PARADE on Broadway starring Tony\, Grammy\, and Emmy Award® winner\, Ben Platt\, and rising star\, Micaela Diamond. \nThe New York Times hails PARADE as a Critic’s Pick and “the best-sung musical in many a New York season. It recalls an era of big casts\, big stories\, and big talent in a time when musicals actually felt like events.” \nPARADE is based on the real-life story of Leo and Lucille Frank\, a newlywed Jewish couple living in Georgia in 1913. When Leo is accused of an unspeakable crime\, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith\, humanity\, justice\, and devotion. Riveting and gloriously hopeful\, PARADE reminds us that to love\, we must truly see one another. \nThe show begins at 2 PM and runs for 2.5 hours including intermission. Comfortable transportation to and from the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre will be provided; the bus will leave the Shames JCC at 12:15 PM and return after the event at approximately 6:00 PM. \nSpace is limited to 14\, nonmembers are welcome! \nThis event is generously subsidized by UJA/Verve 55+ Living and is non-refundable after March 1.
