4 SISTERHOOD
On Wednesday, November 19, 7:30 PM, at temple, the Sisterhood Speaker Series will present
award-winning author and anti-bullying expert, K. M. Walton.
She is the author of Cracked, Empty and the co-author of Teaching
Numeracy: 9 Critical Habits to Ignite Mathematical Thinking for mathematics teachers K-8. Her contemporary Young Adults novels each focus on
the deleterious effects of bullying. Walton specializes in speaking to
schools and Universities on the topic of “The Power of Human Kindness.”
Author Walton will speak on "The Power of Human Kindness. Bullies come
from all kinds of households. But one thing bullies have in common is a
lack of empathy. They were not taught to put themselves into others’
shoes, hence the ease with which they torture their fellow students. Quite
simply, not teaching a child how to be empathetic and compassionate is a
societal failure. Unfortunately, empathy does not come naturally for many children. Oftentimes
children must be explicitly taught to think of others, to be kind and compassionate. The teachable moments must be seized. Award-winning young adult author and anti-bullying expert
K.M. Walton shows audiences what compassion looks and sounds like. She shares personal
and touching stories as well as highly effective anti-bullying techniques.
K. M. is a graduate of West Chester University, with a degree in elementary education. As a
former middle-school language arts teacher she’s passionate about education and ending peer
bullying. During her time in the classroom she developed proven ways to stop bullying. She is
also the former director/owner of the summer day camp, Camp Kindness. Basically, teaching
about kindness, empathy and tolerance has been a life-long passion for her.
Cost: Members $18. Non-members $20. Students (Under 21 years old) $5.
Teens & Young Adults are welcome!
For Members Only...Meet and Greet with author K.M. Walton, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, with
light refreshments. $25. A book signing will take place after the event.
Walton’s novels, Cracked & Empty, are available for purchase.
(Cracked $9.99 and Empty, $10.99)

7 CONGREGATIONAL LEARNING 2014-2015
Our sages taught (Pirke Avot 2:7), "The more Torah, the more life!"
Congregational Learning at Temple B’nai Abraham provides opportunities
for learners of all ages to explore their identities as Jews. Through spiritual, academic and social programs and courses, opportunities for learning bring people together, helping to create a special sense of family and community. Our
courses allow each participant to connect to the personal, ethical and social dilemmas that impact our Jewish and secular worlds. Participants in these courses and events often find it to be
the first stone in a pathway towards a more committed and informed Jewish life, as well as an
impetus for greater involvement in all aspects of congregational life: prayer, ethics, ritual practice, celebrations, social building and community connection. This year, we ask you to BOOKMARK IT and visit our temple calendar and website for an array of offerings from speakers to
introductory classes, cooking to Hebrew reading, we guarantee a place for you!

A Replacement Life by Boris Fishman
Published to raves in June 2014, A Replacement Life tells the "provocative,
soulful, and sometimes hilarious story of a failed journalist asked to do the
unthinkable: Forge Holocaust-restitution claims for old Russian Jews in
Brooklyn, New York." A real knee-slapper, right? The forger, Slava, desperately chases the serious journalistic career that never gets closer. The beneficiary? his grandfather Yevgeny, whose treatment by the Nazis was bad…just
not bad enough to get him the reparations cash he yearns for. The result? Unexpected respect for and fascination with characters we expected
only to laugh at, and a glimmer of understanding of yet another piece of the
tragic legacies of the Holocaust and Communism.
Parashat HaShavuah with Rabbi Kulwin
Every Saturday morning before services, 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM.
Sisterhood Rosh Hodesh Celebrations with Rabbi Faith Joy Dantowitz

and we provide the beverage.
8 CONGREGATIONAL LEARNING 2014-2015
Global Jewish Journey – Perception vs. Reality
We know there are Jews who live in “the rest of the world,” but how much do we know about
them? And is what we know correct? Do Jews in France and Argentina genuinely face rampant
anti-Semitism? Is Australia really the one shining star of Jewish growth in the Diaspora? Did
all the Jews leave the former Soviet Union and if not, what is life like for those still there? This
year we will have the opportunity to move beyond the perception and learn the reality, straight
from people who live, work and study these Jewish regions of the world.
Save the Date for the next Global Jewish Journey Lecture
Saturday, November 15, 6:00 PM (Seudat Shlishit)
Rabbi Dr. Andreas Nachama
Executive Director, Topography of Terror Foundation and Memorial Museum,
Berlin, Germany
German Jewry in the 21st Century – A new story or an old one? How are we to
understand German Jews of today?
The celebrated and tragic history of German Jewry is familiar. What happened after
World War II is less known: a few of returnees from before the war; tens of thousands
of immigrants from Eastern Europe and later Russia; a community divided between capitalist West and communist East; a current population of over
100,000 Jews who live in Europe’s most prosperous country,
though one in which both skinhead and Islamist anti-Semitisms
are to be found.
Rabbi Andreas Nachama, Ph.D., both knows and is German
Jewish history. Son of one of Germany’s most celebrated
cantors, he served for several years as President of the
Jüdische Gemeinde zu Berlin, the Jewish Community of
Berlin. He teaches at Touro College’s Berlin campus and
directs the Topographie des Terrors , a museum devoted
to the Nazi era. There is no one better to convey the truth
of German Jewry today.
