SUMMARY:ONE (FABRIC) FOR ALL: A Quilt Exhibition by Accent Quilters
DESCRIPTION:ONE (FABRIC) FOR ALL: A Quilt Exhibition by Accent Quilters \nJanuary and February \nIn the Netanya AACI Berkowitz-Marcus Hall \nThe Accent Quilters of Israel – a vibrant ladies’ group dedicated to stitching beauty into the world one quilt at a time – are thrilled to present their latest exhibition\, ONE (FABRIC) FOR ALL\, at the Netanya AACI Community Hall during January and February 2026. \nThis year’s showcase stems from an inspiring group challenge: every member received an identical piece of fabric\, sparking a creative journey of unity and individuality. \nThe result? A stunning collection of quilts\, each a 20-inch square\, where the shared fabric becomes the common thread weaving through diverse interpretations. \nOur quilters were free to explore any technique – modern minimalism\, contemporary flair\, intricate appliqué\, or lavish embellishments – while seamlessly incorporating their allotted swatch. From bold geometric abstracts to whimsical storytelling scenes\, each piece reveals a unique voice\, proving how a single element can inspire boundless innovation. \nJoin us to marvel at this tapestry of creativity! Witness how one fabric transforms into many masterpieces\, celebrating community\, craftsmanship\, and the joy of quilting.\nAll are welcome (check with Netanya AACI at 09-8330950 for opening hours) – bring a friend and let the colours inspire you. \nAccent Quilters: Committed to making the world more beautiful\, one stitch at a time. \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 \n________________________________________\nThe Berkowitz Marcus Hall is available for exhibiting art works and photography.\nIf you are interested in exhibiting your artwork in our hall or if you know of someone who would like to show his or her pictures\, please contact info@netanyaaaci.org.il

SUMMARY:Art Class - with Ruth Lenk
DESCRIPTION: Art Classes With Ruth Lenk \n9.30 Wednesdays \nForget 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. \nI’ve heard that there are two steps to success: 1. Start 2. Carry on. \nTake that first step by joining our Art class. We meet every Wednesday morning from 9.30-11.30. \nThen\, 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. \nMembers: NIS 60 per lesson  \nNon-members: NIS 120 per lesson \nPayable at the Box Office per four weeks \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Harley Zipori - The Cassini-Huygens Mission: A Voyage of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Harley Zipori – The Cassini-Huygens Mission: A Voyage of Discovery \n19:30 Wednesday 25 March POSTPONED \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:Book Club - Atonement by Ian McEwan
DESCRIPTION:Book Club – Atonement by Ian McEwan \nLed by Marcy Manas and Liz Morley \n16:00 Tuesday 24 February \nOur Book Talk meets once a month. Books are available to borrow from the Gura Family Memorial Library. \nOur 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. \nOn 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. \nMembers NIS 25      \nNon-Members NIS 35 \nFor tickets contact the Box Office 09-8330950 or pay at the door.

SUMMARY:Len Goldstone: Massage - Is it Jewish?
DESCRIPTION:Len Goldstone: Massage – Is it Jewish?\n11:00 Tuesday 10 February\n\nMassage has a long and varied history. Its development since biblical times\, if not before\, is a fascinating account of practitioners\, innovations and controversies. During its evolution\, especially in the Western World and Middle East\, Jews were involved in its practice and development. Detailed mentions in the Mishna\, Shulchan Aruch and in the writings of Rashi and the Rambam\, combined with the often hidden history of more modern Jewish practitioners and innovators\, has led Len to ask:  Massage – Is it Jewish?\n\nProfessor Len Goldstone had a busy academic career as Lecturer\, Dean and Full Professor of Applied Statistics at several UK Universities\, plus Visiting Professorships in Ireland and Texas\, US\, specialising in Health Service Research and Medical Audit. He took early retirement in the year 2000\, in order to join the British Ministry of Justice as a Lord Chancellor’s Visitor\, an Independent Advisor to the Judicial System in relation to Powers of Attorney. He finally retired in 2020. \n\nAuthor of several books on Statistics\, his last book took a surprisingly different direction. Essays on Massage History 1750-1950 (published in 2024) is the culmination of Len’s passion for this fascinating subject\, developed during his wife Jennifer’s career as a Nurse and Remedial Masseur.\n\nLen and Jennifer made Aliya from the UK in 2022 and have made Netanya ( and the AACI) their home. Their daughter Catherine Gordon and family live in Modi’in.\n\n\nMembers Prepaid: NIS 30\nMembers at door and Non-Members: NIS 50 \nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 (Sunday-Thursday 8:30-12:30) or pay at the door. \nPrepaid tickets available until noon the day before this event. \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 \n

SUMMARY:Book Club - The House Girl by Tara Conklin
DESCRIPTION:Book Club – The House Girl by Tara Conklin \nLed by Marcy Manas and Liz Morley \n16:00 Tuesday 27 January \nOur Book Talk meets once a month. Books are available to borrow from the Gura Family Memorial Library. \nOur January choice is The House Girl by Tara Conklin. This is a stunning debut novel of love\, family\, and justice that intertwines the stories of an escaped house slave in 1852 Virginia and an ambitious young lawyer in contemporary New York. Seventeen-year-old Josephine Bell decides to run from the failing tobacco farm where she is a slave and nurse to her ailing mistress\, the aspiring artist Lu Anne Bell. \nNew York City\, 2004: Lina Sparrow\, an ambitious first-year associate in an elite law firm\, is given a difficult\, highly sensitive assignment that could make her career. She must find the “perfect plaintiff” to lead a historic class-action lawsuit worth trillions of dollars in reparations for descendants of American slaves. It is through her father\, the renowned artist Oscar Sparrow\, that Lina discovers Josephine Bell and a controversy roiling the art world: are the iconic paintings long ascribed to Lu Anne Bell really the work of her house slave\, Josephine? A descendant of Josephine’s would be the perfect face for the reparations lawsuit – if Lina can find one. While following the runaway girl’s faint trail through old letters and plantation records\, Lina finds herself questioning her own family history and the secrets that her father has never revealed: How did Lina’s mother die? And why will he never speak about her? \nMoving between antebellum Virginia and modern-day New York\, this searing\, suspenseful and heartbreaking tale of art and history\, love and secrets\, explores what it means to repair a wrong and asks whether truth is sometimes more important than justice. \nMembers NIS 25      \nNon-Members NIS 35 \nFor tickets contact the Box Office 09-8330950 or pay at the door.

SUMMARY:Laurence Seeff: Jews in Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Laurence Seeff: Jews in Jazz\n19:30 Sunday 18 January\n\nJazz music took hold at the turn of the 20th century and especially from the 1920s. It emerged from the development of blues and ragtime and\, for more than a half a century\, it reigned supreme. Jews played a major part in the development of jazz as musicians\, composers\, lyricists\, managers\, businessmen and entrepreneurs. Although only a small percentage of the population in general\, Jews had a massively disproportionate influence on jazz.  In this lecture\, no less than 127 people are identified who have contributed to the genre in some way and\, together with narrative and video clips\, the lecture should provide an enlightening history of Jews in jazz.\n\nLaurence Seeff was born in 1951 in London. He studied statistics at Cardiff  University and the first phase of his career was as a statistician at the International Energy Agency (OECD) in Paris. He went on a contract for two years but\, in fact\, stayed for ten! Et oui! He then joined the fledgling Bloomberg Financial Markets\, in London\, as the first European employee when there was a total of just 35 staff (now 23\,000). After two decades\, in a variety of positions\, he became a lecturer in finance at BPP Professional Education in London.\n\nIn addition to his remunerated work\, Laurence served as a magistrate (voluntary lay judge in the criminal courts) for 20 years and has many stories with which to entertain at dinner parties.\n\nLaurence\, and his wife Sara\, made Alyah\, in November 2020\, to join their four children\, and now\, ten grandchildren.  In Israel\, Laurence has involved himself in amateur dramatics and tennis\, is an author\, and has published two books of poetry in 2017 and 2024.  Laurence’s interest in jazz dates back more than 50 years from when he first saw  Terry Lightfoot and his Jazzmen in a pub in Bournemouth. He was smitten.\n\nMembers Prepaid : 30 NIS\nNon-members and Members at the door: 50 NIS\n\nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 or pay at the door.\nWebsite ticket option available until noon on the day of evening events and until noon the prior day for daytime events.\n\n\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
