- Sunday, October 26
Sisterhood Book Group - First
Tuesdays of the Month
Looking for a good book to
read? Sisterhood’s next book for
discussion in October is Middle-
march by George Eliot. One of the
most accomplished and prominent
01- LAKt NORMAN
novels of the Victorian era, Mid-
dlemarch is an unsurpassed por
trait of nineteenth-century English
provincial life. Dorothea Brooke
is a young woman of fervent
ideals who yearns to effect social
change yet faces resistance from
the society she inhabits. In this
epic in a small landscape, Eliot’s
large cast of precisely delineated
characters and the rich tapestry of
their stories result in a wise, com
passionate, and astute vision of
human nature. As Virginia Woolf
declared, George Eliot “was one
of the first English novelists to
discover that men and women
think as well as feel, and the dis
covery was of great artistic mo
ment.”

Temple Kol Tikvah of Lake
Norman is excited to announce
that they have received a $5,000
grant from the Blumenthal Foun
dation for Senior Services which
will enable them to continue their
“Learn Kibbitz and Nosh” (LKN)
program for seniors.
The purpose of LKN is to en
hance the lives of seniors by pro
viding an opportunity to increase
their knowledge on topics relevant
to their lives, provide an informal
venue for social interaction, and a
healthy lunch. Seniors engage in
meaningful learning by participat
ing in dynamic and interactive
discussions. The knowledge and
friendships gained has an endur
ing impact the participants. The
program is open to Jewish seniors
and their spouses/partners (if ap
plicable) who may be unaffiliated.
“Learn, Kibbitz, and Nosh” is an
inviting atmosphere on site at
Temple Kol Tikvah.

Prominent Senator Visits Members of
Charlotte’s Jewish Community
As Jews, we all share commu
nal concerns when reading news
about global anti-Semitism in
general and anti-Israel sentiment
in particular. It was at a peak this
past summer and that’s why I
thought it quite fortuitous when I
got a call from a elder colleague
who has been deeply involved in
Israel activism and educating Jew
ish communities, when he called
to throw a possibility our way.
One of his contacts told him that
U.S. Senator Rand Paul would be
traveling through Charlotte and
had an hour slot open; could we
find a small group of people and a
place for him to speak with some
members of the Jewish commu
nity? This was not going to be a
fund raiser or Rand Paul for Pres
ident meeting. To the contrary, it
would be a bipartisan meeting
where issues concerning Jews —
most notably the situation in Israel
— would be discussed.
Being as we were given such
short notice, we had to move
quickly. The first hurdle was to
find a small, respectable space.
Fortunately in Charlotte there’s a
family that’s always interested in
events that are focused on Israel,
Jewish continuity, or for that mat-

Temple Emanuel in Gastonia Stands with Israel
The families of Temple
Emanuel Religious School gath
ered in support of Israel on the
first day of classes. Temple
Emanuel’s religious school fo
cuses on subjects such as Flebrew,
Jewish history, biblical studies,
Israel and more. In addition to
traditional classroom learning,
hands-on projects are introduced
to help illustrate the importance of
ritual in the Jewish home. School
director, Flannah Kaunitz, has in
troduced both a year-long ritual
project of the “Shabbox,” and a
Tzedakah project. For the “Shab
box,” students will create ritual
items used for Shabbat and holi
days, while learning their signifi
cance in Jewish practice. Our
Tzedakah project allows students
to create their own Tzedakah box,
to take home. They will collect
funds to be donated to charity that
will be decided upon by the entire
school. Classes at Temple
Emanuel meet on Sundays from
10 AM-12:30 PM. We are still en
rolling students K-confirmation.

ple Emanuel Religious School,
