Dear Friends,
Rabbi Federow moderated a thought provoking and interesting
seminar on May 31, 2012 on the topic Ancient
Aliens as the Source of Religion. Thanks Rabbi for the handouts, thought provoking presentation and lively discussion! If
you were unable to attend, we look forward to seeing you at future events.
Since I last checked in with everyone, my efforts have been
primarily focused on making our 3rd Annual Crypto-Jewish seminar a
success. Rabbi Peter Tarlow has now
confirmed that he is available and will be presenting at our seminar again this
year. His topic will be Columbus and the
Crypto-Jewish Experience. It was kind of
him to modify his calendar to accommodate our request to appear at our seminar.
I have also been in contact with Gabriela Bohm- the award
winning, independent filmmaker that is presenting her film The Longing: The Forgotten Jews of South America. It is my understanding that this is a very
moving presentation. The film and
workshop will be scheduled for mid-day in the seminar as her presentation (film and workshop) is
approximately an hour and forty minutes in length. The preliminary plan is to serve a catered
lunch during this time.
Presently, my efforts are focused on scheduling speakers and
preparing marketing materials to forward to our publicity committee as soon as
possible.
As always, if anyone has any particular topics that they
would like me to seek a speaker to address or if anyone knows of a speaker they
would us to invite to speak at future adult education events, please feel free
to contact me at any time with the information and I will be glad to follow up
on it. You may email me or contact me on
Facebook.
Respectfully submitted,
Lori Elaine Laird
