JCC Speaker Luncheon: “The Apple That Was Stolen from the Synagogue: A Strange Story from Medieval England”
Program Description: “The Apple That Was Stolen from the Synagogue: A Strange Story from Medieval England” with Dr. Evyatar Marienberg, Dept of Religious Studies, UNC Chapel Hill
In the middle of the 13th century an object was stolen from a synagogue in southern England. King Henri III himself was calling for an inquiry. What was that object? Why was it stolen? Dr. Marienberg will suggest a solution that might be related to the upcoming High Holidays.
Evyatar Marienberg, author of seven books and over 20 articles, teaches in the Dept. of Religious Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill. Born and raised in Israel, he is a historian of religions with a focus on beliefs and practices of Jews and Christians of various periods. His academics have taken him worldwide, including Paris as a student of Catholic theology at the Sorbonne, New York as a visiting fellow at Yeshiva University, Montreal at McGill University, Department of Jewish Studies, Stockholm’s Padeia Institute, Tel Aviv University for teaching and research, and the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.

Tzofim Friendship Caravan
Program Description: Please join us as we welcome the Tzofim Friendship Caravan! They are celebrating 50 years of bringing excitement, energy and friendship to North America through friendship and performance! The first Caravan came to the United States in 1973 to bring a message of hope and peace for Israel.
Each Caravan is made up of a group of five girls and five boys and their two leaders. They are chosen to be members of the Caravan based on their maturity, fluency in English, and of course, their talent in the performing arts. After several rounds of competitive auditions and interviews, the scouts spend a year training and rehearsing for their exciting summer in North America. What a beautiful way to celebrate Israel!

JCC Book Club: "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store"
Program Description: “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe.
As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us.
Bringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird.
