Jewish Women’s Circle
2011/12 Schedule of Events

November 9th: Come play Mahjong!

Whether you are an expert or a beginner, playing with other women is always great fun.

Come learn the basic rules of this game and see what the buzz is all about. “Many consider the modern American version [of Mahjong] a remake of a Jewish game, as many American mahjong players are of Jewish descent.”

December 6: Muffins and a movie!

Enjoy some delicious muffins and hot drinks as we watch Praying with Lior:

“Praying with Lior asks whether someone with Down Syndrome can be a spiritual genius. Many believe Lior is close to God -- at least that's what his family and community believe -- though he's also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration and an embarrassment, depending on who is asked and when. As this documentary moves to its climax, Lior must pass through the gateway to manhood - his Bar Mitzvah.” From imdb.com.
