W
e are approaching fall and full season both in Greater Naples and at Beth Tikvah. You will definitely want to join us for our many events. We began with a special Shabbat honoring and remembering all those who served our country. We then met at the St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church on Sunday for the Catholic/Jewish Dialogue of Collier County recognition of Kristallnacht. Our Rosh Chodesh Women’s group started with its Nov. 12 Zoom-only meeting with Odette Masliyah leading us in the topic “Light and Darkness.” It was an enlightening discussion in these troubled times. Jeff Margolis will be the first speaker in our Speakers’ Series on Dec. 5 at 7:30
p.m. with the topic, Iconic Amusement Parks of America. He will be followed by Dr. Stuart Mest on Dec. 19 and Shelley Goodman on Jan. 18. Our very special evening will be on Jan. 5 when Dr. Leo Gordon joins us to discuss the “Clandestine Medical School of the Warsaw Ghetto.” We will have Shabbat services at 6:15 p.m. followed by a delicious catered dinner prepared by Prestige Catering. The lecture will begin at 8 p.m. The fee for this is only $36. Rabbi Chorny is continuing his classes on “Six Who Changed the World” Wednesday, Jan. 17, 24 and 31 at 12:15 p.m. in our shul.
