Over the past decade, she has delivered hundreds of lectures in Israel and abroad, guided countless people through life-changing discoveries, and created educational resources in Hebrew that make genetic genealogy accessible to those in Israel who find English challenging.

Book Club - Atonement by Ian McEwan
2026-02-24 16:00 | Netanya AACI, 28 Shmuel Hanatziv, Netanya, Israel, 4228132, Israel
Book Club – Atonement by Ian McEwan
Led by Marcy Manas and Liz Morley
16:00 Tuesday 24 February
Our Book Talk meets once a month. Books are available to borrow from the Gura Family Memorial Library.
Our February choice is Atonement by Ian McEwan. His symphonic novel of love and war, childhood and class, guilt and forgiveness provides all the satisfaction of a brilliant narrative and the provocation we have come to expect from this master of English prose.
On a hot summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses the flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant. However, Briony’s incomplete grasp of adult motives—together with her precocious literary gifts—brings about a crime that will change all their lives. As it follows that crime’s repercussions through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century, Atonement engages the reader on every conceivable level, with an ease and authority that mark it as a genuine masterpiece.

LOGON proudly presents: “The Pajama Game”
19:30 Tuesday 24 February
at Matnas Ir Yamim, 6 Beni Berman, Netanya
The Pajama Game (1954), with music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, is a vibrant Broadway musical set in the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where workers demand a seven-and-a-half-cent raise. The story centres on the romance between Babe Williams, the head of the grievance committee, and Sid Sorokin, the new factory superintendent, whose love is challenged by the escalating labour dispute. Blending humour, heart, and energetic choreography, the show features memorable songs like “Hey There,” “Steam Heat,” and “Hernando’s Hideaway.” Celebrated for its spirited score and lively staging, it remains a classic example of mid-century musical comedy.

Art Class - with Ruth Lenk

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.
