High Holidays Club Committee presents Debbie Wohl Issard

Brenda Hyman

PebbleCreek High Holidays Club continues with our new program affectionately called “Chai High.” The residents of PebbleCreek will again be treated to a monthly higher learning session.

News update—Tuesday, October 4, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. – Tuscany Clubhouse Capri Room

Our opening lecture for this year is most exciting. Debbie Wohl Issard, our speaker, is a member of the Board of Directors and the Editor of La Granada SCJS’s online news connection. She is a student of historical fiction and originates from Philadelphia with Ashkenazi traditions that now seek out Sephardic connections. Learn about the descendants of Jews who escaped during the era of the Spanish Inquisition. These Marranos thought they were leaving persecution behind—unfortunately the Inquisition followed them to the New World forcing them to remain hidden. Descendants of these people today are known as Crypto-Jews. Five hundred years later, many of them have no idea that they are of Jewish ancestry.

So—come and join our club for this lecture (at no charge). There will be many surprising revelations as well as insights. The floor will be open for questions after the lecture. Please email Brenda Hyman at [email protected] for sign-up. Each email will be time-stamped and once capacity is reached (40 guests) you will be wait-listed.

Mark your calendars—for the first Tuesday of every month through May 2017.

We guarantee an exciting and educational program each and every time. Looking forward to seeing you; future topic subjects for the next six months will appear in the PebbleCreek Post as well as on flyer posted on our bulletin boards (monthly).
