Looking for Jane – November Book Club

About the Book – A debut about three women whose lives are bound together by a long-lost letter, a mother’s love, and a secret network of women fighting for the right to choose—inspired by true stories.

“Marshall makes an absorbing debut with a timely novel about the complexities of pregnancy and motherhood… [a] deftly braided narrative, Marshall keeps the tension high as she reveals the devastating consequences of denying women autonomy over their bodies. A charged topic handled with sensitivity and compassion.” – Kirkus Reviews

About the Author – Heather Marshall is the instant #1 bestselling author of Looking for Jane. She worked in politics and communications before turning her attention to her true passion: storytelling. Heather lives with her family near Toronto.

Reckonings presented by Nagle Family Jewish Film Festival

They met in secret to negotiate the unthinkable — compensation for the survivors of the largest mass genocide in history. Survivors were in urgent need of help, but how could reparations be determined for the unprecedented destruction and suffering of a people? Reckonings explores this untold true story set in the aftermath of the Holocaust.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Roberta Grossman, Reckonings recounts the tense negotiations between Jewish and German leaders. Under the constant threat of violence, they forged ahead, knowing it would never be enough but hoping it could at least be an acknowledgment and a step towards healing.

This movie night offers a unique opportunity to connect over a thought-provoking film.
Members: $18 Community Guests: $36
Dinner and refreshments included in admission fee, and a discussion will follow the movie. Bring a friend and enjoy an evening of film, conversation, and community! This event is open to our Boca Raton community.

Monthly Mitzvahs

As a Congregation with a Conscience®, social action initiatives are integral to our synagogue’s mission. Throughout the year, we host various events and collections for local charities. As a united effort, the Nadel Center for Early Childhood Education, The Barry Ira Graff School for Living Judaism, and Congregation B’nai Israel participate in volunteer opportunities and collections centered around a central guiding theme each month.

October’s social action theme is Tza’ar Ba’alei – Taking Care of Animals. In Judaism, it’s very important to treat animals with kindness and respect. In the Bible, the heroes are often those who show love and care for animals, teaching us the importance of being kind to all living creatures.
