SUMMARY:Dads' Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 22\, July 27\, August 24\nTime: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM\nLocation: Dell JCC \n\nJoin Rabbi Ain and other dads for the return of our summer book club! The summer provides us with a great opportunity to dig into some interesting books that have relevance for us as parents. Come to as many sessions as you’d like\, and if you can’t make it\, we’ll give you something to consider reading when you’re at the beach! \nRegister here! \nJune 22 – Foreskin’s Lament: A Memoir by Shalom Auslander\nShalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was estranged from his community\, his religion and its traditions\, he could not find the path to a life where he didn’t struggle daily with the fear of God’s formidable wrath. Foreskin’s Lament reveals Auslander’s “painfully\, cripplingly\, incurably\, miserably religious” youth in a strict\, socially isolated Orthodox Jewish community\, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family. \nJuly 27– Alpha and Omega by Harry Turtledove\nWhat would happen if the ancient prophecy of the End of Days came true? It is certainly the last thing Eric Katz\, a secular archaeologist from Los Angeles\, expects during what should be a routine dig in Jerusalem. But perhaps higher forces have something else in mind when a sign presaging the rising of the Third Temple is located in America\, a dirty bomb is detonated in downtown Tel Aviv\, and events conspire to place a team of archaeologists in the tunnels deep under the Temple Mount. There\, Eric is witness to a discovery of such monumental proportions that nothing will ever be the same again. \nAugust 24 – Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband\, Father\, and Son by Michael Chabon\nThe bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Werewolves in Their Youth\, Wonderboys\, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh\, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay\, and The Yiddish Policemen’s Union Michael Chabon “takes [his] brutally observant\, unfailingly honest\, marvelously human gaze and turns it on his own life” (Time) in the New York Times bestselling memoir Manhood for Amateurs.

SUMMARY:AJFF Presents "Bella"
DESCRIPTION:When Yaki becomes aware of Bella’s true identity — a curly plumed\, extremely valuable dove and his sole inheritance — it’s already too late. Yaki embarks with Bilal\, his childhood friend\, and their wives on a road trip across Israel and Palestine to bring Bella back. Along the way\, they navigate through checkpoints\, ruin a wedding\, steal the newlyweds’ car\, participate in a family reconciliation ceremony\, and revive the unconscious dove…. All in order to make it on time to a dove beauty pageant in Jerusalem.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: A comedy about a Jewish couple\, a Palestinian couple\, and a magical dove. From the directing team of a Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian man\, both Israeli citizens\, exploring together their wounds\, conditioning\, anger\, and laughter.

SUMMARY:Dads' Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 22\, July 27\, August 24\nTime: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM\nLocation: Dell JCC \n\nJoin Rabbi Ain and other dads for the return of our summer book club! The summer provides us with a great opportunity to dig into some interesting books that have relevance for us as parents. Come to as many sessions as you’d like\, and if you can’t make it\, we’ll give you something to consider reading when you’re at the beach! \nRegister here! \nJune 22 – Foreskin’s Lament: A Memoir by Shalom Auslander\nShalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was estranged from his community\, his religion and its traditions\, he could not find the path to a life where he didn’t struggle daily with the fear of God’s formidable wrath. Foreskin’s Lament reveals Auslander’s “painfully\, cripplingly\, incurably\, miserably religious” youth in a strict\, socially isolated Orthodox Jewish community\, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family. \nJuly 27– Alpha and Omega by Harry Turtledove\nWhat would happen if the ancient prophecy of the End of Days came true? It is certainly the last thing Eric Katz\, a secular archaeologist from Los Angeles\, expects during what should be a routine dig in Jerusalem. But perhaps higher forces have something else in mind when a sign presaging the rising of the Third Temple is located in America\, a dirty bomb is detonated in downtown Tel Aviv\, and events conspire to place a team of archaeologists in the tunnels deep under the Temple Mount. There\, Eric is witness to a discovery of such monumental proportions that nothing will ever be the same again. \nAugust 24 – Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband\, Father\, and Son by Michael Chabon\nThe bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Werewolves in Their Youth\, Wonderboys\, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh\, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay\, and The Yiddish Policemen’s Union Michael Chabon “takes [his] brutally observant\, unfailingly honest\, marvelously human gaze and turns it on his own life” (Time) in the New York Times bestselling memoir Manhood for Amateurs.
