SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Chag HaSigd The Festival of Sigd with Israeli Shaliach Yehuda Michael
DESCRIPTION:On Sigd\, Ethiopian Jews pray to God and plead for a return to Zion\, the land of the Torah\, and specifically Jerusalem. The community engages in introspection and reflection – in addition to the individual self-examination of Yom Kippur\, this reflects and focuses on joint communal behavior. \nThere are no written sources about the origins of Ethiopian Jews and the historical time they came to Ethiopia. For the most part\, history has been preserved orally and has been passed down from generation to generation. The journey of Ethiopian Jews through \nSudan is one of the historical\, important\, and special journeys of the Jewish people in general and of the Ethiopian community in particular. It is intertwined with longings for the Land of Zion\, an aspiration to lize an old dream of immigrating to Jerusalem\, to build and understand it\, and to unite with the Jewish people in our country. Most Ethiopian Jews immigrated to Israel in two major operations. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Aaron Hamburger\, Hotel Cuba - Literary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:RSVP \nAward winning author Aaron Hamburger is our Literary Luncheon guest on Wednesday\, April 10 at 12:30 pm. He will present about his latest novel\, Hotel Cuba. \nFleeing the chaos of World War I and the terror of the Soviet Revolution\, practical\, sensible Pearl Kahn and her lovestruck\, impulsive younger sibling Frieda sail for America to join their sister in New York. But discriminatory new immigration laws bar their entry\, and the young women are turned back at Ellis Island. With few options\, Pearl and Frieda head for Havana\, Cuba\, convinced they will find a way to overcome this setback. \nA heartbreaking\, epic family story\, Hotel Cuba explores the profound courage of two women displaced from their home who strive to create a new future in an enticing and dangerous world far different from anything they have ever known. \nAaron Ham­burg­er is the author of the sto­ry col­lec­tion The View from Stal­in’s Head—which won the Amer­i­can Acad­e­my of Arts and Let­ters’ Rome Prize — and two nov­els\, Faith for Begin­ners and Nir­vana Is Here. His writ­ing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Wash­ing­ton Post\, O\, the Oprah Mag­a­zine\, The For­ward\, and many oth­ers. He lives in Wash­ing­ton\, DC. \n
