COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

JF&C Workshops for June have been announced. Interested families should visit www.jfandcs.com for more information.

Temple Sinai announces another Satellite at Sinai event on Tuesday, June 8 @ 7:30 PM: Christopher Hitchens in Conversation with Salman Rushdie. Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq. He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world’s most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant. He is a fervent atheist, raised as a Christian, by a mother whose Jewish heritage was not revealed to him until her suicide. He has now written a searing memoir entitled Hitch 22 that lays bare these many contradictions and affirms his conviction that all personal is also political. Cost per session: Members $10 per person, Non-Members $15 per person. For more information, please contact the Education Office at 416.487.3281 or education@templesinai.net.
