OUR MIGHTY, LITTLE SYNAGOGUE
7:15 pm Havdalah, 7:30 pm class.
Our topic: “Jewish Magic and Superstition”
Along with our 3,000 year tradition of monotheism, we Jews bear a 3,000 year folk religion of keeping away the demons and spirits. Picking up traditions along the way from Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Medieval Germany, and Eastern Europe, Jews became the acknowledged masters of Magic.

We are reading “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, and soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon.
No one’s ever told Eleanor Oliphant that life should be better than fine. She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
Please join us for discussion and lunch! Free for Sisterhood members, guests $5.
To RSVP, or if you have any questions, please contact Nancy Berkenfeld at AdultEd@ckibbnj.org
