March Events for Havurat Tikvah
As March marches in, Havurat
Tikvah prepares for yet another
busy month. On Sunday, March 2,
we will head over to Discovery
Place to view the IMAX film
Jerusalem. This movie, showing
for a limited time uptown, is a re
markable attempt to show the
world the incredible beauty and
importance of the City of
Jerusalem. The city is considered
the Promised Land for the Jews,
the Holy Land for Christians, and
the Land of the Prophets for Mus
lims, and the film strives to show
each side of this rich history.
Please see the official synopsis
below for more information:
“Explore for the first time in
IMAX this crossroads of civiliza
tion and faith. Jerusalem is a his
toric media initiative that
comprises a spectacular giant
screen film and a multi-year,
multi-component public educa
tion program.
“The film will convey the story
of Jerusalem in all its beauty and
diversity, illuminating global pub
lic opinion and understanding
about Jerusalem on a vast scale.
We seek to present an exceptional
vision of Jerusalem - as a city of
universal historical, spiritual,
cultural, and archaeological
importance - and to promote,
with unprecedented impact, toler
ance and goodwill between
Jews, Christians, and Muslims.”

Purim begins on March 16, and
we plan to celebrate. On March
15, we will have our annual

Special Program
for Seniors and
Their Families
Important Life
Conversations
Have you ever tried to speak
with family members about their
wishes or plans for the future only
to have the conversation end
abruptly?
The Oasis Senior Enrichment
Program and the Levine JCC will
present a community-wide pro
gram entitled Important Life Con
versations: There’s No Time Like
Now. Through a grant from the
BJH Foundation for Senior Serv
ices, this free program for Jewish
seniors and their families will help
facilitate the difficult and crucial
“conversations” that we often
avoid until it’s too late. There will
be four monthly “conversations”
that will address the many differ
ent concerns and issues faced by
the any family. Professional guest
speakers and vendors from local
agencies will provide the informa
tion, resources, inspiration, and
solutions necessary to prepare for
these critical “conversations.”
The kickoff event is on Sunday,
March 9, 11 AM-1 PM in the
Lemer Hall with “The Gift of the
Conversation.” A free lunch will
be provided for all in attendance
and limited transportation will be
available for seniors in need with
advanced reservations. Please

events, Havurat Tikvah has other

dessert, everyone is always wel
come.

the winter months wane away.
This month, we will host one
more evening at the Avondale
Presbyterian Church Fellowship
Hall, beginning at 5:30. If you are
