Adult Learning for You
T
his year, we are excited to bring forward a program filled with options for study of Jewish practice and identity, history, and culture; a variety of book-reading groups, creative arts and crafts, Jewish movies, and group travel. We hope you will find one or more activities that will be both engaging and rewarding. We urge you to come and share, read and think together and deepen both your personal connections with others as well as with the Jewish tradition.
Wishing all a shana tova and a meaningful year of learning and togetherness.

Koshersoul: The Faith and Food Journey of an African American Jew
by Michael W. Twitty
In Koshersoul, Michael W. Twitty considers the marriage of two of the most distinctive culinary cultures in the world today: the foods and traditions of the African Atlantic and the global Jewish diaspora. To Twitty, the creation of African-Jewish cooking is a conversation of migrations and a dialogue of diasporas offering a rich background for inventive recipes and the people who create them.
The question that most intrigues him is not just who makes the food, but how the food makes the people. Jews of Color are not outliers, Twitty contends, but significant and meaningful cultural creators in both Black and Jewish civilizations. Koshersoul also explores how food has shaped the journeys of numerous cooks, including Twitty’s own passage to and within Judaism.
Koshersoul includes 48-50 recipes.
Bring a simple or complicated dairy dish or snack to share.
Our weekly adult education program is on hiatus for the summer but will return in the fall with an exciting lineup of new offerings. We look forward to coming together to share, nosh, create, kibitz, learn, and feed our souls!
Qigong Classes
Led by Fredda Leiter
Tuesdays, 9:00-10:00 a.m., Meister Hall
Continuing
Qigong is a form of mind-body exercise. Qi means energy and gong means to cultivate.
Fredda has practiced Qigong and Taiichi since 2012, has trained in the discipline extensively and intensively, and has taught classes in person and on Zoom since 2015.
She has found that Qigong is a wonderful way to improve strength, flexibility, and balance, as well as enhancing breathing. The discipline helps students to feel grounded and keeps their minds active and sharp. It’s also a nice way to spend time with other people!
The goal is all gain and no pain. Your safety and comfort are important….and most important is to smile and have fun!
To participate, you must be able to stand for about 30 minutes; we will also be seated for part of the time. Please wear sneakers or other comfortable shoes and bring water.
There is a waiver to sign; you can find this online or in the TBT office. Please bring the signed form to the first class.
Looking forward to practicing with you!
