Jewish & Christian Parables

Friday, August 2, 11:00am
Friday, August 16, 11:00am

Jews and Christians have used the art of parables throughout the ages to imprint faith’s most important messages into tightly knit metaphors and stories. Parables invite us to unpack and interpret vivid images and memorable stories, and just when we think we understand their meaning, a new layer of spirituality emerges. Come explore the best parables of Jewish and Christian literature.

Tisha B’Av on the Beach

Monday, August 12, 7:00pm

Tisha B’Av, or the 9th of the month of Av, marks the day that Babylonians destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem (586 BCE), and it has become a day that has also represented the subsequent destructions that have befallen the Jewish people, including the destruction of the 2nd Temple, the expulsion of Jews from Spain, and the Holocaust. On this melancholy evening, we read the sacred book of Lamentations, a poetic description of the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE.

Book Club:
The Breakaway
by Jennifer Weiner

Thursday, August 15, 4:00pm

Thirty-three-year-old Abby Stern has made it to a happy place. True, she still has gig jobs instead of a career, and the apartment where she’s lived since college still looks like she’s just moved in. But she’s got good friends, her bike, and her bicycling club in Philadelphia. She’s at peace with her plus-size body—at least, most of the time—and she’s on track to marry Mark Medoff, her childhood summer sweetheart, a man she met at the weight-loss camp that her perpetually dieting mother forced her to attend. Fifteen years after her final summer at Camp Golden Hills, when Abby reconnects with a half-his-size Mark, it feels like the happy ending she’s always wanted.
