Book in the Sukkah: Julie Metz with "Eva and Eve"
Sunday, September 26, 2021 • 20 Tishrei 5782
6:15 PM - 7:15 PMBeth El Temple, 2626 Albany Avenue, West Hartford, CT 06117Beth El Temple Women's Network, in partnership with Voices of Hope, proudly presents our 2021 Book in the Sukkah event!
Julie Metz, author of Eva and Eve: A Search for My Mother's Lost Childhood and What a War Left Behind, will join us
in the sukkah now on Zoom to discuss this unforgettable memoir of her late mother's harrowing childhood in Nazi-occupied Austria and the parallels she sees in present-day America.
Please plan to pick up your catered meal between 5pm and 5:30pm on Sunday, September 26th.
To Julie Metz, her mother, Eve, was the quintessential New Yorker. Eve rarely spoke about her childhood and it was difficult to imagine her living anywhere else except Manhattan. After her mother passed, Julie discovered a keepsake book filled with farewell notes from friends and relatives addressed to a ten-year-old girl named Eva. This long-hidden memento was the first clue to the secret pain that Julie’s mother had carried as a refugee and immigrant, shining a light on a family that had to persevere at every turn to escape the anti-Semitism and xenophobia that threatened their survival.

FebFebruary 13 , 2025God is Here: Exploring Metaphors for the Divine
Thursday, Feb 13th 6:00p to 7:30p
Join Rabbis Debra Cantor and Rachel Zerin for a hands-on exploration of different metaphors for the Divine. These metaphors are all deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, while broadening the ways we think about, talk about, and relate to God and the idea of the Holy. Inspired by Rabbi Toba Spitzer's book "God is Here: Reimagining the Divine," we will use text study, discussion, writing, art, ritual, and more to think about how language and metaphor shape our experiences - and how language and metaphor can either limit or expand how we experience holiness in our lives.
