Art Classes With Ruth Lenk
9.30 Wednesdays
Forget that Art enhances fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem solving skills, lateral thinking, complex analysis and critical thinking skills. Art is fun! And you don’t need to have any experience to produce beautiful work.
I’ve heard that there are two steps to success: 1. Start 2. Carry on.
Take that first step by joining our Art class. We meet every Wednesday morning from 9.30-11.30.
Then, work with me to develop the techniques you want to master: pencil, watercolors, chalk, pastel, acrylic, collage. I am an experienced artist and teacher (let’s not count the years – but over 40) and I want to help you learn to express yourself artistically in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Netanya AACI Folk Club – The Poleg Mountain Boys
19:30 Tuesday March 17 POSTPONED
Shmuel Hanatziv 28, Netanya
Come join us for renewed and revamped Netanya AACI Folk Club. Not to be confused with Cafe Netanya, this is a stage for both promising and established musicians in a friendly environment to share their talents with the music loving community at AACI and in the Netanya area.
Direct from the wild mountain region of Netanya, with deep roots in a dozen various musical genres originating thousands of miles from where they live, The Poleg Mountain Boys bring their music to share with audiences all over Israel.
The Poleg Mountain Boys are:
Seth Moscowitz, guitar and vocals. With a rich background in classic early 60’s rock and roll, Seth grounds the “boys” with strong rhythm guitar, solid leads and vocal harmonies that make all the songs pop.
Roby Simons, violin, harmonica and vocals. With a deep appreciation of Bluegrass and Americana music, Roby provides some great fiddling, soulful harmonica and innovative vocal interpretations to some of the most popular songs of the era.
Harley Zipori, guitar and vocals. Founder of the Netanya AACI Folk Club and folk music aficionado of the Israeli Anglo music scene for 40 years, Harley mines the wealth of 70’s and 80’s folk rock and popular music including all time fan favorites with some of the lesser known artistic achievements.
They will be joined by Michael Liebowitz, a native of Israel who spent a lot of time in the United States. He’ll be joining in with some Hebrew songs.
Come join us for a fun filled musical evening at Netanya AACI.

Our March choice is a historical fiction, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. This is a novel of breathtaking sweep and emotional power that traces three hundred years in Ghana and along the way also becomes a truly great American novel. Two half-sisters, Effia and Esi, are born in different villages in eighteenth-century Ghana. Effia is married off to an Englishman and lives in comfort in the palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle. Unbeknownst to Effia, her sister, Esi, is imprisoned beneath her in the castle’s dungeons, sold with thousands of others into the Gold Coast’s booming slave trade, and shipped off to America where her children and grandchildren will be raised in slavery.

Tiyul – Fighting for the State
Thursday 16 April
Our trip will begin at the Lechi Museum, offering an introduction to one of the most controversial and determined underground movements during the British Mandate period. Through documents, photographs, and personal testimonies, we will explore Lechi’s ideology, methods, and the difficult moral choices its members faced while fighting for Jewish independence. This visit will encourage discussion about radical resistance, political vision, and the complexity of historical judgment.
After enjoying your packed lunch, we will then continue to the Palmach Museum in Tel Aviv, where the story expands to a broader collective experience. The museum’s immersive design and multimedia exhibits will place us alongside young Palmach fighters, highlighting their daily lives, training, and role in the War of Independence. By encountering both movements in this order, we will gain a deeper and more balanced understanding of the different paths taken toward the same goal. Together, these visits will strengthen our appreciation of courage, sacrifice, and the foundations of modern Israeli society.

Book Club – Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns
Led by Marcy Manas and Liz Morley
16:00 Tuesday 28 April
Our Book Talk meets once a month. Books are available to borrow from the Gura Family Memorial Library.
In 1906 Cold Sassy, Georgia, gossip spreads fast—especially when Grandpa E. Rucker Blakeslee announces he will marry the young milliner Miss Love Simpson just three weeks after his wife’s death. The scandal rocks the town, and fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy becomes both witness and participant in the upheaval.
As chaperone and confidant to his unconventional grandfather, Will watches the surprising romance unfold while navigating his own coming-of-age year—surviving a train accident, first love, and the bittersweet shift from childhood to adolescence. Warm, funny, and richly drawn, Cold Sassy Tree captures small-town Southern life at the turn of the century and the growing pains of change.

Through Margo Sugarman’s Lens - Photography Exhibition
2026-05-08 09:00 | Netanya AACI, 28 Shmuel Hanatziv, Netanya, Israel, 4228132, Israel
Through Margo Sugarman’s Lens
Photography Exhibition
The iconic Kodak Instamatic was the first camera I picked up in the 1970s. I was around 8 years old and even back then I loved the excitement of seeing the developed photos. That feeling has never left me. At around that time, my older brothers were experimenting with their Asahi Pentax and set up a dark room in the basement of our house. I can still smell the chemicals and remember my delight at seeing the ghostly images emerging and morphing into black and white shots.
There has virtually never been a time when I haven’t had a camera with me. I’ve always been happier behind the camera than in front of it. Travel, friends, family, pets, and later, my children. When my son became a baseball player and my daughter a dancer, it was natural for me to become the “photographer mom”. That’s when my love for action photography developed, and I started taking it more seriously.
Today, dance photography is my main focus – both live action and in a studio. I relish the challenge of capturing the apex of a dance move during a show when you only have one chance at it, of finding the right balance between the changing lighting and letting in enough light to make the optimal picture and stop the action at its peak.
Travel photography, with an emphasis on the Tuscan countryside and villages, isn’t far behind. The beautiful stone alleyways, the rolling hills, the iconic Cypress trees, are great subjects. And they stand perfectly still, so taking that picture is a far less heart stopping endeavor.
With the Canon EOS R6 Mark II digital mirrorless camera I have today, I’ve come a long way since my Kodak. I hope you enjoy the images I’ve selected out of the thousands that I’ve shot over the years.
Please call 098330950 during office hours 08:30-12:30 to make sure the hall is open for viewing the exhibition.
The Berkowitz Marcus Hall is available for exhibiting art works and photography. If you or someone you know is interested in exhibiting artwork in our hall, please contact info@netanyaaaci.org.il.
