Brotherhood Jewish Renewal in Poland
Jewish Renewal In Poland
Jewish Renewal in Poland was the subject of the recent Brotherhood Breakfast. The Brotherhood's relationship with the Jewish Renewal started over 15 years ago when we had a direct channel to a reform congregation in Warsaw. Since then, an umbrella organization in California has been fostering Jewish renewal in several Polish cities. The movement is attracting Polish citizens who knew their families were once Jewish and are now re-establishing their Jewish roots...some through Jewish conversion, some having Jewish weddings, some celebrating Shabbat and participating in their local temple events.
Many of brotherhood's breakfast attendees wanted to know how they could help...the speaker (Rabbi Haim Beliak) said they certainly need our economic support. To this end, if you would like to support this effort, please send your check made out to TINW-Brotherhood and mark in the note on the check "Jewish Renewal". The Brotherhood will batch all the contributions and forward them on to the Jewish Renewal in Poland.

Sisterhood/Brotherhood Movie Night
Motzei Shabbat, Nov 15th 7:00pm to 9:30pm
"A Face in the Crowd" starring Andy Griffith and Patricial Neal, Directed by Elia Kazan. From 1957, a powerful drama that showcases the talents of a remarkable cast, led by Andy Griffith in his screen debut, as you’ve never seen him before, and the great Patricia Neal. The story centers on Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes, a drifter who is discovered by the producer of a small-market radio program in rural northeast Arkansas, and who rises to great fame and influence on national television. In vividly illustrating the impact that TV can have on politics, the film is truly visionary in predicting the expanding nature of that power, and warning the viewer to be on guard for the future. Among the wonderful supporting players are Walter Matthau, Anthony Franciosa, and Lee Remick. The screenplay is by Budd Schulberg, based on his own short story, and is directed by Elia Kazan - known so well for “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “On the Waterfront” - at the height of his enormous directing skill. Len Simon will provide some background on the film before the screening and moderate a discussion after. -
