Adult Ed - Jewish Broadway Composers and Lyricists on Stamps and in Song
A Kol Ami Adult Jewish Education Program
JEWISH BROADWAY COMPOSERS AND LYRICISTS
ON STAMPS AND IN SONG
Presenter: Harriet Epstein
The founder of Reconstructionism, Rabbi Mordechai Kaplan, spoke of Judaism as
“an evolving civilization” – not just a religion, but a culture. And what’s culture without Broadway? You’ll have a whole new perspective on the Jewish influence on Broadway, and the ways Broadway has influenced contemporary Jewish culture, by attending this entertaining workshop presented by our own Harriet Epstein. Using postage stamps, musical excerpts, biographical information, and humor, Harriet will provide an enjoyable afternoon of learning and reminiscence.
Location: Arlington Unitarian Universalist Church – Room to be posted.
444 Arlington Boulevard, Arlington, VA (entrance off George Mason Drive)
No charge (donations to Kol Ami welcome)
Program suitable for adults of all ages (whether or not you can carry a Broadway tune)
Refreshments and beverages provided!

Family Havdalah Service
We’ll celebrate the end of the unique holiness of Shabbat and the beginning of the more routine holiness of the week days with a short havdalah ritual led by Rabbi Leila, followed by some social time for parents while the kids have some special fun, learning time with the rabbi!
Then, in true Kol Ami (and Jewish!) tradition, We’ll all enjoy a potluck dinner and schmoozing! The service starts at 5:00 and the schmooze ends at 8:00pm. Bring yourselves, your kids, and a dairy, vegetarian dish. This event will be at Erika and Bruce Falk’s house in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria. Please contact erikaafalk@gmail.com to rsvp and get directions.
