SUMMARY:Harley Zipori - The Cassini-Huygens Mission: A Voyage of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Harley Zipori – The Cassini-Huygens Mission: A Voyage of Discovery \n19:30 Sunday 28 June \nThe planet Saturn is the jewel in the crown of the solar system. Situated in the remote reaches of the solar system\, far from the Sun\, Saturn has been a planet of mystery\, drawing the attention of astronomers ever since Galileo discovered the rings with his telescope. \nNASA’s Cassini spacecraft orbited Saturn for over a decade\, exploring the planet and its moons and making truly astounding discoveries that changed the way we think of planets and objects that orbit them. Cassini carried the Huygens probe that landed on Saturn’s moon Titan\, the first ever landing on any body in the outer solar system. \nCome join us for a voyage of discovery of how this marvelous feat was accomplished and what Cassini told us about Saturn\, its moons and its phenomenal ring system. \nArmed with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering and an MS in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT\, Harley started working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in 1978. He spent most of his time there working on the Galileo spacecraft that eventually orbited Jupiter. Harley made Aliyah in 1981 and worked in the technology sector until retiring in 2019. He has been living in Netanya since 1984. He has an ongoing passion for all things astronomical and loves sharing it with others. \nMembers NIS 30 \nNon-members and Members at the door NIS 50 \nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 or pay at the door.

SUMMARY:NETANYA’S KIDS NEED YOU!
DESCRIPTION:NETANYA’S KIDS NEED YOU!\nOpen Introductory English Tutors Meeting\n11:00 Tuesday 22 September \nEnglish Without Borders is a successful volunteer tutoring programme designed to help local children and youth feel confident in their use of every-day English by engaging them in conversational or basic reading/vocabulary-building activities. In the 2025-2026 academic year\, over a dozen schools received about 36 volunteers. \nWe invite you to join our group of devoted volunteers. Be a part of the fun and help meet the needs of our youth. It is the perfect project for English speakers to give back to Israeli society. \nJoin us at our open introductory meeting if you are a new or returning volunteer. Your basic commitment is two/four hours once/twice a week at an elementary or secondary school talking with 1-4 pupils at a time in coordination with the English teacher at the school. No formal teaching experience is necessary\, but motivation\, caring and patience are required. No Hebrew is necessary. \nFeedback from the 2025-2026 school year: \nWe feel the meetings with our recent volunteers are very effective for the girls. They gain (general) knowledge and maintain and improve their English. The volunteers have a good connection with the girls\, as with me.\nEsther-English coordinator at Ulpanit Bar Ilan girls school\n________________________________________\nBeyond improving their English skills\, the programme has helped enrich their vocabulary\, strengthen their listening comprehension\, and build their confidence in speaking and understanding different accents and teaching styles. The variety each volunteer brings makes the lessons interesting\, enjoyable\, and engaging. The students especially love meeting and connecting with people from different places and backgrounds. They leave each session with huge smiles and a feeling that learning English can actually be fun. The programme also contributes greatly to their social bonding and group connection.\nHelena-Begin School\, Ramat Poleg \nRenee Rosenberg 054-4339470\, Judy Shafarman 052-8496116\nNetanya AACI English Tutoring Project Coordinators (decades of experience between us) \nNo charge for this event.

SUMMARY:Through Margo Sugarman’s Lens - Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Through Margo Sugarman’s Lens\nPhotography Exhibition \nThe 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. \nThere 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. \nToday\, 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. \nTravel 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. \nWith 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. \nPlease call 098330950 during office hours 08:30-12:30 to make sure the hall is open for viewing the exhibition. \nThe 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. \nNearby Parking: (one block north of Netanya AACI\, approach from the north on Shmuel Hanatziv to turn right into the driveway just before the traffic circle) \nUsing Waze: https://waze.com/ul/hsv8zcjvhf \nUsing Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/teDPagS7GRUi5VzY8
