SUMMARY:YAWS Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are a group of parents of young adults and teens who are struggling with life. Examples of such difficulties might be: isolation\, social difficulties\, school avoidance\, school failure or other learning differences\, vocational struggles\, inhibitions around launching and independence or strained relations with friends and family. Many struggle with mental illness\, learning disabilities\, Asperger’s\, substance abuse or autism. Some are undiagnosed\, just not living up to society’s expectations. \n\n\nWe meet once a month and support and encourage one another as we look at strategies for helping our young adults. We understand the journey\, which has many twists and turns\, often not what we expected when thinking about raising a child. We laugh\, cry\, share resources\, and support one another. Occasionally\, we have speakers join us and supplement our knowledge of resources available\, including housing options\, legal remedies\, new medications or treatments\, etc. \n\nThe group meets monthly and is open to anyone interested. All information shared is completely confidential. Should you have any questions\, please call the Temple Sinai office at (202) 363-6394.

SUMMARY:TSMRJ Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join the Temple Sinai Brotherhood Book Club at the temple for a discussion of The Genius of Israel: The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World by Dan Senor and Saul Singer. It’s about how “a small nation of 9 million people\, forced to fight for its existence and security since its founding and (d)riven by ethnic\, religious\, and economic divides\, (proves) resistant to so many of the societal ills plaguing other wealthy democracies.” \nThis book was written before October 7\, 2023\, but released shortly afterward\, so its perspective is not shaped by events since then\, and it may be dated. Either way\, the book should serve as a catalyst for a lively (yet amiable) discussion. Both the Montgomery County Libraries and the DC Libraries have copies available. The Brotherhood welcomes all who are interested in joining the discussion. Contact Howard Oppenheim with questions or to let him know you plan to attend. (Beer\, wine\, coffee\, and snacks are provided.)

SUMMARY:TSMRJ Topgolf Outing
DESCRIPTION:Topgolf\, in Germantown\, is a sports entertainment complex that features an inclusive\, high-tech golf game (driving range).  As we have done for the last few years\, TSMRJ will secure two adjoining bays (or more\, if the demand is there) where we can hit some balls\, play a few games\, and enjoy food\, drink\, and each other’s company. We welcome all skill levels\, including novices. While you are free to bring your own clubs\, most folks use the clubs provided at no extra charge by Topgolf. \nLet Bob Loesche know if you plan to be there. This event is open to all congregants\, friends\, and family members who would like to join in. Cost for the event is $20/person (payable via Zelle to Bob or in cash when you arrive at Topgolf).  The Brotherhood will absorb all the other costs associated with the event—including golf\, food\, and beverages.

SUMMARY:CIESJ Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join Congregation Ramot Shalom of Be’er Shevah and Temple Sinai of DC for a virtual book discussion of Journey from the Land of No: A Girlhood Caught in Revolutionary Iran by Roya Hakakian. With attention focused on Iran this spring\, we felt that both American Jews and Israelis would be interested in this first-person account of a Jewish young woman before\, during\, and after the Iranian revolution of 1979. The book is accessible and compelling; the author is a poet\, journalist\, and former associate producer of CBS’s 60 Minutes. \nRegister to join via Zoom \n  \nThe book was written up by the Jewish Book Council as follows: \nIn Jour­ney from the Land of No Roya Hakakian recalls her child­hood and ado­les­cence in pre­rev­o­lu­tion­ary Iran with can­dor and verve. The result is a beau­ti­ful­ly writ­ten com­ing-of-age sto­ry about one deeply intel­li­gent and per­cep­tive girl’s attempt to ï¬?nd an authen­tic voice of her own at a time of cul­tur­al clos­ing and repres­sion. Remark­ably\, she man­ages to re-cre­ate a time and place dom­i­nat­ed by reli­gious fanati­cism\, vio­lence\, and fear with an open heart and often with great humor. \nHakakian was twelve years old in 1979 when the rev­o­lu­tion swept through Tehran. The daugh­ter of an esteemed poet\, she grew up in a house­hold that hummed with intel­lec­tu­al life. Fam­i­ly gath­er­ings were punc­tu­at­ed by wit­ty\, satir­i­cal exchanges and spon­ta­neous recita­tions of poet­ry. But the Hakakians were also part of the very small Jew­ish pop­u­la­tion in Iran who wit­nessed the iron fist of the Islam­ic fun­da­men­tal­ists increas­ing­ly tight­en­ing its grip. It is with the inno­cent con­fu­sion of youth that Roya describes her dis­cov­ery of a swasti­ka — “a plus sign gone awry\, a dark rep­tile with four hun­gry claws” — paint­ed on the wall near her home. As a school­girl she watched as friends accused of read­ing blas­phe­mous books were escort­ed from class by Islam­ic Soci­ety guards\, nev­er to return. Only much lat­er did Roya learn that she was spared a sim­i­lar fate because her teacher admired her writ­ing. \nHakakian relates in the most poignant and at times painful ways what life was like for women after the coun­try fell into the hands of Islam­ic fun­da­men­tal­ists who had declared an insid­i­ous war against them\, but we see it all through the eyes of a strong\, youth­ful opti­mist who some­how came up in the world believ­ing that she was dif­fer­ent\, know­ing she was spe­cial. At her loneli­est\, Roya dis­cov­ers the con­so­la­tions of writ­ing while sit­ting on the rooftop of her house late at night. There\, “pen in hand\, I led my own cho­rus of words\, with a melody of my own mak­ing.” And she dis­cov­ers the craft that would ulti­mate­ly enable her to find her own voice and become her own per­son. \nA won­der­ful­ly evoca­tive sto­ry\, Jour­ney from the Land of No reveals an Iran most read­ers have not encoun­tered and marks the debut of a stun­ning new talent.
