The Charlotte Jewish News - March 2012 - Page 13 Temple Israel Book Club Monday, March 12, 7:30 PM at Temple Israel “Pick any Book” by Judith Viorst How does a book club choose one book to read by an author whose extensive “repertoire” includes poetry, adult fiction and nonfiction, science books, chil dren’s picture and poetry books, and even musicals? The Temple Israel Book Club said, “Let’s do it all.” In other words, google Judith Viorst, look at her titles and choose one or more to discuss at the book club meeting March 12. After this discussion, participants will be well-prepared for Judith Viorst’s presentation at the Federation Women’s Division Spring Lecture on Thursday, March 22. Linda Levy will serve as the “clearing house” for book choices to encourage a diverse selection of Viorst’s works and perhaps sug gest “teams” to present a book if more than one person picks the same book. (To participate in the round robin discussion method, contact Linda Levy at 704-366- 6362 or levyollie@aol.com.) Most of Viorst’s books are available at the public library. Check the Levine-Sklut Judaic Library to see if they stock any of her books. Of course copies of most of her books are available at book stores or on-line. The March 12 book club meeting is open to all members of the community, including “drop-ins.” All Federation donors are invited to attend the Spring Lecture.^ Temple Israel Social Club We invite couples and singles affiliated with Charlotte area syna gogues to join the Temple Israel Social Club.

As comic book superheroes flood movie theatres and generate billions in profits, it’s worth remembering the characters’ hum ble beginnings as products of fly- by-night publishers in a junk medium —and as the creations of artists and writers who were over whelmingly Jewish. Professor Mike Kobre Superman and Captain America might not look Jewish, but both characters (and many others like them) were created by first-gener ation American Jews who infused their work with their own fantasies of assimilation and transforma tion. Learn about this important aspect of Jewish and American cultural history in a series of talks by Michael Kobre, a professor of literature at Queens University of Charlotte. Sponsored by Havurat Tikvah and Queens’ Hillel chapter. the first talk (“Aliens, Immigrants, and Secret Identities”) will take place at 7:30 PM on March 24. The second, on the contemporary comics masterpiece Mans by Art Spiegelman, is scheduled for April 14. Both talks will be held in Ketner Auditorium in the Sykes Learning Center on the Queens Campus; they’re free and open to the public.
