Shabbat Dinner for 50 of our residents was held at the Chianti Room in Tuscany on January 20. Hilarity and humor accompanied the observation of Shabbat with candles and challahs. Thank you, Nick Pomeranz, for your clever and funny routine as well as thanks to all who attended and their delivery of assorted Jewish jokes. The menu was superb, the wine was flowing and the laughter was non-stop. Another successful dinner!
The next Shabbat dinner will be planned in April for Yom Hashoah (remembrance of the six million who died in the Holocaust). Further details to follow as plans are firmed up!
February 7 at 7:00 p.m. in the Capri Room/Tuscany—The Honorable Michael Simonson, presiding Judge of the Goodyear Municipal Court, will speak at our Chai High monthly lecture. He will talk about the history of the Jews in the West Valley, Torah roots of American Law and insights into our local government. Please join us for this tantalizing subject as well as noshes on the first Tuesday of February!
March 7 at 7:00p.m. in the Capri Room/Tuscany—Emily Garber, chair of the Phoenix Jewish Genealogical Group and a board member of the Jewish Historical Society, will speak on Jewish genealogical research and the nuances of working with records from both German-Jewish and Eastern European databanks.
