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

SUMMARY:Yaron Hovav: Gaza - From a Pastoral Port City to a Strip of Terror
DESCRIPTION:Yaron Hovav: Gaza – From a Pastoral Port City to a Strip of Terror\n19:30 Sunday 11 January  \nThis is an in-depth lecture exploring the historical development of Gaza — from its early days as a center of trade and a coastal port city to its transformation into a hub of terror under Hamas control. We’ll examine how Gaza and the surrounding region were shaped by Israel’s wars (the War of Independence and the Six-Day War)\, and by political agreements between nations (the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty and the Oslo Accords). \nYoran will also discuss the Disengagement Plan\, the rise of Hamas\, and finally\, the cultural and geopolitical consequences of October 7th. Combining historical analysis and geopolitical context\, he provides insight into how these developments have influenced public opinion in the region and the West. \nYaron Hovav is a certified Israeli tour guide specializing in geopolitics and in-depth tours of Israel’s borders — including the Gaza border following the events of October 7th\, as well as tours in the West Bank and along the northern border. He is experienced in presenting to both Israeli and international audiences. \nMembers Prepaid: NIS 40\nMembers at door and Non-Members: NIS 60 \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 on the day of 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

A survivor of late-stage cancer\, domestic violence\, and a decade in a wheelchair\, Zahtz has spoken on stages around the world—from the Martin Luther King International Beloved Summit to Crowe Health Summit and Centro Comunitario Beth-El in Panama—sharing her experiences to inspire resilience\, purpose\, and joy in the face of trauma. Following the October 7\, 2023 atrocities\, she pivoted to serve Israel\, organizing humanitarian missions\, supporting farmers\, and now running volunteer initiatives in Netanya for reservist families. \nThrough her writing for the Times of Israel\, her Substack Dear Chevra\, and her social media\, Zahtz combines personal storytelling with actionable lessons from Torah\, Jewish life\, and leadership to guide audiences in healing themselves and strengthening their communities. \nMembers Prepaid: 40 NIS \nMembers at the Door and Non-members: 60 NIS \nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 or pay at the door. \nPrepaid tickets for this event are available until noon on the day of the 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
