Immediately following the 7:45pm lighting, you're invited to join us for a special concert - "From Darkness to Light: Songs of Winter, Hanukkah, and Hope" presented by Cantorial Soloist/Songwriter Amber Ikeman with Rabbi Mark Kula. The program will feature original compositions, show tunes, folk favorites, and classic Hanukkah songs. Woven together by themes of light and darkness, each song will invite you to explore the resilience of the human spirit.

In the Fall of 2019, Congregation Beth Shalom was awarded a $36,000 grant from FEMA & the Department of Homeland Security, which will fund three years of security costs for the temple. As part of this grant, the temple is hosting two security training classes per year, which will be given by TACTIC, a highly regarded, Bozeman security company (www.tacticmt.com), for staff and affiliates of our congregation. These sessions are tailored for religious organizations and include role-playing in scenarios that religious organizations sometimes face. They are focused on empowerment and deterrence, and we highly recommend that each affiliate attends at least one session. We need everyone to care about keeping the temple safe and secure in this day and age. You must be an affiliate of the temple to participate. If you have already attended one of these sessions, you may sign up as a silent observer.

Join us for a discussion on A.B. Yehoshua's "Mr. Mani" and a Middle Eastern-style potluck. Please RSVP to rswolff420@gmail.com.

Book description: The Israeli writer AB Yehoshua's previous novels (A Late Divorce; Five Seasons) were critically acclaimed in this country; here he offers another richly textured, provocative work. An account of six generations of the Manis, a Jewish family living in the Middle East, the book is arranged in the form of five "conversations," with the speech of only one of the two speakers present on the page. From 1982, the narrative moves backward to 1848, tracing dark domestic dramas occurring against the backdrop of historical events. Speakers--each with a strong, distinctive voice--include a contemporary Israeli woman, a Nazi soldier stationed in Crete during WW II, a British Jewish soldier in Palestine after WW I, a Jewish doctor in Galicia and a Jewish merchant in Athens. Spinning a cat's cradle of complex relationships, Yehoshua reaches beyond realism to the realms of mystery, coincidence and fate. His prose is simple and clear, rising to passages of lyricism and eloquence, as he gradually discloses the tragedy that haunts every generation of the Mani family: a succession of self-destructive, suicidal men and of fathers who die young, leaving emotionally needy children. Hints of a dread secret accrete through the narrative, to be revealed at the close. Yet the novel's message speaks to the indomitable spirit that keeps families alive.

Just some Jews hanging out over good company and great local beer.
