Getting Good at Getting Older with Rabbi Laura Geller

Sunday, July 19, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Join us as we welcome Rabbi Laura Geller to speak about her new award winning book, “Getting Good at Getting Older,” in conversation with Rabbi Denise L. Eger. “Getting Good at Getting Older” is a tour for all those “of a certain age” through the resources and skills needed to navigate the years between maturity and frail old age. It brings humor, warmth, and more than 4000 years of Jewish experience to the question of how to shape this new stage of life.
Copies of the book are available for purchase by contacting the Temple office by email or by calling (323) 606-0996. Register here.

Destruction of Life, Destruction of Truth,

a Tisha B'Av Special Program
Wednesday, July 29, 7:00 PM
Please join us for this special Tisha B'Av program co-hosted by West Hollywood's Congregation Kol Ami and the Israeli-American Civic Action Network, ICAN. While commemorating Tisha B'Av, we will welcome special guests Grant Gochin and Silvia Foti, speaking about state-sponsored Holocaust denial in Lithuania. Grant Gochin asked the question – "who murdered my family during the Holocaust" and discovered that the murderer is a current national hero of Lithuania. Silvia Foti was asked by her mother to write the biography of her national hero grandfather, only to discover that he was one of the worst genocidal murderers of Jews during the Holocaust. Silvia Foti's grandfather murdered Grant Gochin's family. They have come together to tell the awful truth of how their families have been connected for the past 100 years and how the Lithuanian government has engaged in a massive cover-up to implement the tenth stage of genocide: denial. In this special discussion, we will explore with Gochin and Foti their paths to the discovery of this cover-up, and how it impacts the real world today. Register here.
