Summer Services Begin... Friday, July 1 6:30 PM Shabbat Evening Services, outdoors on the pa o, weather permi ng Saturday, July 2 8:30 AM Parashat HaShavuah, con nues throughout the summer 9:30 AM Shabbat Morning Services, clergy‐led Thursday, July 7 7:30 PM TBA Book Group with Rabbi Kulwin. The Hilltop by Asaf Gavron will be discussed. Israeli Literature: Israeli literature is unending and provides unending perspec ves on the country. This is useful as we a empt to understand so historic, complex and emo onally charged, to say nothing of important, a place. A thirty‐year‐old memoir and a new novel add thought‐provoking and valuable insights…while also possessing the virtue of being delights to read. Winner of the Bernstein Prize, Israel’s key honor for young authors, The Hilltop tells the story of Ma‐aleh Hermesh C., a West Bank se lement whose strange cast of characters makes us laugh even as it challenges our preconcep ons. “By turns serious and Saturdayirical,” The Hilltop depicts, in Amos Oz’s words, a world that is “vigorously alive, like a poke in the eye.” The West Bank is a difficult place to understand. Gavron helps us understand why. Tuesday, July 12 7:00 PM Annual TBA Summer BBQ
