Una Festa Ebraica -- Celebrating Life A Musical Opportunity for All of Us!
Richard Ginnis, who serves on the boards of both Kadima and the Early Music Guild, has arranged with the Early Music Guild to set aside a block of seats for Kadimaniks and friends to attend the concert, Una Festa Ebraica -- Celebrating Life, performed by the Lucidarium ensemble. Not only do we all get to sit together, we also get to purchase tickets at the discounted price of $30 (regularly $42). This will be a fun and special evening!
Una Festa Ebraica -- Celebrating Life In Jewish communities, fully experiencing every stage of life is considered no less important than prayers, respecting the Sabbath, observing holidays, or following dietary and behavioral rules. Reflecting this, a large amount of "party music" survives: songs celebrating life, humorous poems, women's gatherings, transitions, and joyful moments of the liturgical year. With a wide array of instruments, including recorders, pipe and tabor, dulcian, lute, colascione, viola da mano, percussion, hammer dulcimer, and Renaissance guitar, the virtuosi of Lucidarium, Italy's premier ensemble for medieval and Renaissance music keep the party going -- to life, l'Chaim!
The concert is on Saturday, November 16, at 8:00 pm at Town Hall Seattle. For all ages, of course!
Ticket sales will handled by Richard, not by the Early Music Guild. Reserve your tickets by calling -- (206) 547-3914 -- or emailing the Kadima office. Let us know how many tickets you need. Payment for your tickets will be made to Richard at a later date. Members, friends, members' friends...we're all invited!
Learn more about the concert and the Early Music Guild at www.earlymusicguild.org.
A very big "thank you" to Richard for dreaming up and arranging this special evening for our enjoyment.

Raising Jewish Kids in a Non-Jewish World

"Isn't Chanukah the Jewish Christmas?"
"But you don't look Jewish!"
"Why is Israel so important to you?"
"You don't eat clam chowder? But it's a Seattle tradition!"
Growing up as a minority, our kids are likely to encounter curiosity, misunderstanding, stereotypes or worse, and it's our job to prepare them. At the same time, how do we teach our children to treat non-Jewish friends and others with understanding and respect? Explore these topics with JFS Director of Family Life Education Marjorie Schnyder and Rabbi Lauren Kurland, Beth Shalom parent. Advance registration encouraged. $12/individual or $18/couple.
