Celebrate Shabbat with CBT!
Friday, March 24, 2023
7:00 pm
In-person & via livestream
Rabbi Eiduson will be joined by Cantorial Student Intern Rachel Rubinstein for the Erev Shabbat service. Rabbi Eiduson is between two congregational trips to Israel: one in February with teens in Grades 10 and 11 and one upcoming with adults in May. Come and hear about the current “state” of things in Israel—on the threshold of its 75th birthday—through her eyes and photos. She will discuss the current difficulties between Israelis and Palestinians, the internal challenges Israel faces to its democracy, and the prospects for the future.
Nate Gordon-Brown will participate in the Shabbat service, in honor of his becoming a Bar Mitzvah this Saturday, March 25.
7th Annual Women's Seder
Saturday, April 8, 2023, 1:30-3 pm
Please save the date for our Annual Women's Seder!
As part of the Women’s Seder, the Social Action Committee will once again be partnering with the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Round Table to collect gift cards for survivors of domestic violence and their families and Gifts of Hope Unlimited (GOHU).
Just as the Jews left Egypt to escape persecution and death, survivors of domestic violence also face their own journeys to freedom. Join us as Rabbi Dr. Lisa Eiduson leads us in exploring the relationship between the two journeys to freedom. We also look forward to welcoming back guest speaker Susan Altman, who will bring us up to date on the "final chapter" in her sister Stacy's story.
Families transitioning from a shelter appreciate your donation of Gift Cards. Your generous donations help the clients of the shelters and transitional housing programs of REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, The Second Step, and VoicesAgainst Violence.
Gift cards from Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreen’s, Market Basket, Hannaford, and Stop and Shop in denominations of $20-$50 would be very much appreciated.
Donations may be made online to Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable, and checks are also welcome. (When making donations online, please indicate that the donation is for the Women's Seder/Shower for Shelters.) The money received will be divided among the organizations listed above along with the gift cards.
This year in addition to collecting gift cards for Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Round table, the Social Action Committee is supporting GOHU, which partners with, and provides ongoing support and resources, to individuals and families impacted by relationship violence. For those who want to donate an item, GOHU accepts gently used small appliances such as coffee makers, electric kettles, food processors, pots, pans, dishes, flatware, microwaves, and toasters. Thanks for considering!
Attendees are encouraged to share their favorite Passover dessert!
Advance registration is required.

Rabbi Eiduson's Tea Time Talks
Wednesday, March 22, 2023
2-3 pm
In-person or via ZoomJoin us in discussing a wonderful film about a slice of the past... the 2018 documentary The Last Resort. (1 hour 10 min.)
The Last Resort is a film about Miami Beach directed by Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch. It features photographs taken between 1976 and 1986 by photographers Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe.
The film focuses on the transformation of South Beach between the 1960s and 1980s. In the 1960s South Beach was an inexpensive retirement community, populated largely by working and lower middle class Jewish retirees.
Whether you have been to Miami Beach/South Beach either recently or in the past —or not at all—you will learn a lot about the history of the Jewish community of the Miami, FL area during a pivotal time in the history of both Miami Beach and American Jews.
The Last Resort has been called "a unique and loving tribute to the area of Miami Beach south of Lincoln Road before it was the now famous South Beach and Ocean Drive."
There are several ways to view The Last Resort, including at no cost via Kanopy. It is also available for rental on Apple TV. To subscribe to Kanopy, you only need a valid library card.

Brotherhood Breakfast
Sunday, March 26, 2023
9-10:30 amThe Brotherhood is pleased to welcome a relative newcomer to the Metrowest area. After having been the founding Curator of the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in New Orleans, Anna Tucker is the new Executive Director of the Framingham History Center.
When we Northerners think of the South, I doubt that our mind considers Jews, but rather pictures the ‘Gone with the Wind’ plantation owner, the slave, and the rebel Confederate army. This eye-opening presentation will provide insights into the culture, religion, businesses, and identities that make up the Southern Jewish experience from colonial times to the present day. Anna has an extensive background on this subject and will be ready for your best questions.
Anna will also provide an update on current and future plans of the Framingham History Center.
Our FREE continental breakfast is open to everyone—you need not be a member of the Brotherhood to join us. BUT please RSVP to brotherhood@bnaitorah.com for proper food acquisition and preparation.Svaroopa Yog

12:30 pmPlease join at CBT to discuss Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.
A NEW YORK TIMES "TEN BEST BOOKS OF 2022"
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.
