SUMMARY:Sunday-Morning Program: Not Normal
DESCRIPTION:(Adult Education) \n“Not Normal\, A Progressive’s Diary of the Year Following Trump’s Election” \n(A presentation by Peretz member and Rutgers Professor\, Stuart Shapiro) \nDonald Trump’s election to the presidency shocked observers across the political spectrum. But the shock was nothing compared to the tumult and chaos of the year that followed. Stuart\, who has given several fascinating Sunday morning talks over the years\, documented the year following Trump’s election in his new book that just came out. He will host a talk about the book on February 4\, discussing the meaning of the year for American politics and what is likely to happen moving forward. He is hoping people will bring their own questions\, comments\, and perspectives to the discussion. \nThe IL Peretz Secular Jewish Community’s Adult Education Programs educate our members in engaging ways about Jewish heritage and the world around us.

SUMMARY:MLK Day Observance (No Sunday School Class)
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, January 14\, in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday\, we will be joining the Workmen’s Circle Midtown school for their day of education and Social Action. \nThe MLKjr Day program will run from 10:30-1:00. It will begin with a full-group gathering for songs and intro\, and then we’ll split up by ages for a learning program for about 30 min. Then we will have a variety of stations for on-site social action activities. One activity that has become a tradition is making sandwiches that volunteers then deliver to a food pantry. \nWe do not have a bus so travel options are as follows: driving independently\, arranging carpooling\, or taking the train. The Workman’s Circle is at 247 West 37th Street\, 5th Floor\, NYC. There will be no regular classes on this date. \nPLEASE\, RSVP to Jeremy Freedman\, our school principal\,  if you will be bringing your child or sending your child with another family. We hope that you will be able to join us for this wonderful event uniting two great Workman’s Circle schools.

SUMMARY:Friday-Night Program: Boycott\, Divestment\, Sanctions
DESCRIPTION:(Adult Education) \nBoycott\, Divestment\, Sanctions\n(A presentation by human rights activist Tzvia Thier) \nThe Boycott\, Divestment\, Sanctions (BDS) movement is one of the most controversial and emotional issues facing American Jews.  Come hear a presentation by human rights activist Tzvia Thier on why she supports BDS. \nTzvia Thier  was born in Romania during WW ll and emigrated to Israel when she was six years old. As an adult\, she was a teacher and elementary school principal in Israel.  She spent a decade in Connecticut\, where she taught at a Hebrew school\, and developed curricula for Hadassah and other schools. She then returned to Israel and continued to teach and direct a school until her retirement.  \nIn November 2009\, after a Palestinian family was evicted from their home in Eastern  Jerusalem\, she went there and for the first time spoke to Palestinians. Through this incident\, she came to realize that she was ignorant about many aspects of the reality and history of her country. She subsequently joined with human rights activists to work on behalf of the Palestinian people. \nTzvia Thier now lives in Milltown NJ and shares with many communities what she witnessed and learned. \nTzvia Thier will give her perspective on the Palestinian resistance to the occupation of the West Bank and explain why she supports BDS as a political avenue. Q&A will follow.  \nNOTE: As is the case with any Sunday-morning or Friday-evening talk\, the I.L. Peretz community and its board do not endorse any viewpoint espoused by a presenter.  All speakers are invited for the purpose of information sharing and open discussion. \nThe IL Peretz Secular Jewish Community’s Adult Education Programs educate our members in engaging ways about Jewish heritage and the world around us.

SUMMARY:Sunday-Morning Program: Alternative Societies
DESCRIPTION:(Adult Education) \n Alternative Societies — the Way We Live is Not the Only Way \n(A presentation by Lily Borodkin) \nWe live in a very interesting time – not due to change and not due to diversity — we always had that. We live in an interesting time because for the first time in thousands of years\, we have the ability to connect ourselves to the opposite side of the globe with a stroke of a key on our computers. There are many benefits to that\, but one of the more fascinating aspects of this technology is learning about other people. Other cultures and other societies. This session is going to be dedicated to sharing and discussing alternative societies around the world. Burning Man will be the focus because it is a temporary society created by mostly Americans who for 50 weeks of the year lead “normal” lives\, but transform themselves for the duration of the Burning Man Festival. Another society which will be covered in depth will be Auroville\, but there will be numerous societies introduced. \nThe IL Peretz Secular Jewish Community’s Adult Education Programs educate our members in engaging ways about Jewish heritage and the world around us.
