What's Happening
Networking Face-to-Face in a Digital WorldIn this seminar, best-selling author and keynote speaker Susan RoAne will offer commonsense advice and practical suggestions for anyone who wants to improve his or her ability to network. While emphasizing the continuing importance of in-person communication, she will use her practical “how to” style to show you how to interact, how to behave, and how to connect with others with comfort and confidence. Cost: $15 in advance ($20 at the door). Tuesday, December 01, 2009 GCG Financial Training Center |
Secular Jews: From Birobidzhan to Buffalo GroveThrough a mix of video clips and discussion, we’ll learn about the attempts to create a Jewish autonomous region in the Russian Far East in the first half of the 20th Century. But that was neither the beginning nor the end of secular Judaism. What new doors are opened today by a cultural approach to Jewish identity? Together with Rabbi Adam Chalom from Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation and Jewish Telegraphic Agency reporter Grant Slater, who recently visited Birobidzhan, we’ll talk about how growing up as a Soviet Jew translates to modern Jewish life in the United States.
