Stories by Molly Greenberg Presentation by Rosalie Greenberg, M.D. Molly Greenberg was born in 1924 in a shtetl in Poland. An orphan by age three, she was raised in poverty by five older siblings until the Soviet army seized control. Molly survived the war by pretending she was Mary, a non-Jew living in constant fear of discovery and extermination. Molly married Sam, also a Holocaust survivor and together in 1949, they came to America to start a new life. The early years of Molly’s life were too painful to talk about. However, during a senior writing class at the JCC, Molly finally faced her painful past with the encouragement of her teacher, Molly Burack. This book is about Molly’s life, in her own words. Her ability to survive and thrive serves as an inspiration to us all. The stories were found in a long-forgotten case, many years after she died, hence the title, Secrets in the Suitcase. Thursday, October 17 | 12:30pm Free to all Dessert Reception following the program. Reservations strongly encouraged. Rosalie Greenberg, MD is the daughter of Molly and Sam Greenberg. She received a BA Cum Laude from New York University and her MD from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. She has been a teacher, lecturer, and educator to both professional and public audiences. This program is presented in honor of Molly Burack through the generosity of her children. Molly was a beloved volunteer at JCC MetroWest for over 30 years prior to retiring in Florida, but we know her heart is at the JCC.

Hello Dolly
Snow in August
The famed plot concerns Dolly Levi, “…who arranges things…like furniture, daffodils, and lives.” She is a young widow and professional matchmaker who sets her sights, and whatever else she can muster, on conquering the tight-fisted Yonkers merchant Horace Vandergelder. The result is a great musical plot.
From the best-selling novel by Pete Hamill. Michael Devlin is an 11-year old boy living a typical life in Brooklyn, until he witnesses the attack on a store owner by a band of thugs bent on terrorizing the neighbors. Living alone with his mom, Michael’s only escape lies in his comic books and baseball …and in an unlikely friendship with a rabbi. He introduces Michael to the remarkable world of the golem, a monstrous man made of clay who helps those who have been wronged. When Michael learns that the thugs have targeted him, he reaches into the past for an astonishing adventure-and a conflict that will forever change the neighborhood.
Staring Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau and Michael Crawford.
Cabaret Decadent pre-World War II Berlin is the setting for this musical-drama, with a subplot concerning Jewish lovers. While the music plays on, the rise of Nazism is seen and largely ignored by the characters.
