Distinguished Professor
Jonathan Boyarin from UNC
Chapel Hill will deliver the UNC
Charlotte 16th annual Aliee Tate
Leeture in Judaie Studies on
Monday, Mareh 12. The leeture
will be held at 7:30 PM in the
Sam Lemer Center for Cultural
Arts at Shalom Park.
Boyarin will speak about his
new book, Mornings at the
Stanton Street Shut: A Summer
on the Lower East Side. In his
book, he shares the intimate life
of the Stanton Street Shul, one of
the last remaining Jewish eon-
gregations on New York’s his-
torie lower east side. This nar
row building, wedged into a lot
designed for an old-law tene
ment, is full of elamorous voie-
es—the generations of the dead,
who somehow eontrive to make
their presenee known, and the
newer generation, keeping the
building and its memories alive
and making themselves Jews in
the proeess. Through the eyes of
Boyarin, at onee a member of the
eongregation and a bemused
anthropologist, the book follows
this eongregation of “year-round
Jews” through the eourse of a
summer when its future must
onee again be deeided.
Boyarin is the Leonard and
Tobee Kaplan Distinguished
Professor of Modem Jewish
Thought at UNC-Chapel Hill.
An anthropologist and lawyer,
he has served as visiting profes
sor at Wesleyan University and
Dartmouth College and eame to
Carolina from the University of
Kansas, where he was distin
guished professor of Modern
Jewish Studies. Boyarin reeeived
a J.D. from Yale Law Sehool,
after reeeiving his Ph.D. in
Anthropology at the New Sehool
for Soeial Researeh in New
York.
The leeture is free and open to
the eommunity. Following the
leeture, there will be a book
signing and refreshments will be
served. ^

Twenty-five pereent of the
women we know are in diffi-
eult, even abusive relation
ships. Whether they are our
daughters, adult family mem
bers or friends, how we behave
and what we say may help them
feel safe and supported ... or
isolate them even more. The
first step is to reeognize the
signs of a healthy, unhealthy or
abusive relationship.

by attending a workshop

The offieial “switeh’
Yom Hazikaron to
Ha’atzmaut takes plaee
minutes after sundown.
IsraeFs Independenee Day is
eelebrated on the fifth day of
the month of lyar, whieh is the
Hebrew date of the formal
establishment of the state,
when members of the “provi
sional government” read and
signed a Deelaration of
Independenee in Tel Aviv. Yom
Ha’atzmaut in Israel is always
preeeded by Yom Hazikaron
whieh is the Memorial Day for
the Fallen Soldiers. The message
of linking these two days is
elear: Israelis owe their inde
pendenee and the very existenee
of the state to the soldiers who
saerifieed their lives for it.
