JCC Speaker Lunch: "My Childhood During WWII as a US Army Brat"
Program Description: “My Childhood During WWII as a US Army Brat” with Laura Gutman
Laura Thurston Gutman, author of the 2024 memoir "Army Brat," lived her childhood folded into the middle of the US Army from before the attack on Pearl Harbor, throughout World War II, into the war's immediate aftermath, and up to the start of the Vietnam War. Her family was posted to many historically pivotal places and events of that era, including Hawaii where from her backyard she witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbor and life in post war Germany under Russian hostility. Laura's presentation will blend the nature of her childhood life with the unfolding of history during her father?s military assignments as a liaison officer in the US army.
Laura Gutman is a retired pediatrician living in Durham. A graduate of Stanford University School of Medicine in 1962, she is the author of the 2024 memoir, “Army Brat.”

JCC Book Club: "Gateway to the Moon"
Program Description: Discussion of "Gateway to the Moon" by Mary Morris lunch at 12:30p lunch with drinks and dessert are provided, and the discussion to begin at 1:00p.
Entrada de la Luna is the sort of town that ambitious children try to leave behind them. Poor health, broken marriages, and poverty are the norm, and luck is unusual. So when Miguel Torres notices an advertisement for a position looking after two small boys a few towns over, he jumps at the opportunity.
Rachel Rothstein is not the sort of parent Miguel expected to be working for, though. A frustrated artist, Rachel moved her family away from New York looking for a fresh start, but so far New Mexico has not solved any of the problems they brought with them. But Miguel genuinely loves the work and he finds many of the Rothstein family's customs similar to ones he sees in his own community.
Studded throughout this present-day narrative are historical vignettes following the ancestors of Entrada's residents, beginning in fifteenth-century Spain and moving forward to the discovery of America, highlighting the torture, pursuit, and resistance of the Jewish people throughout history, leading to the founding of the enclave that Miguel now calls home. A beautiful novel of shared history, Gateway to the Moon is a moving and memorable portrait of home and community.

JCC Book Club: "The Immortalists"
Program Description: Discussion of The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin, lunch at 12:30p lunch with drinks and dessert are provided, and the discussion to begin at 1:00p.
"Best Book of the Year"- Washington Post. In 1969 on NYC's lower east side four teens hear their fortunes from a traveling psychic claiming the ability to tell anyone's date of death, thus influencing their next five decades. The novel probes the line between destiny and choice, reality and Illusion.
If you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life?
It's 1969 in New York City's Lower East Side, and word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold children, four adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness sneak out to hear their fortunes.
The prophecies inform their next five decades. Golden-boy Simon escapes to the West Coast, searching for love in '80s San Francisco; dreamy Klara becomes a Las Vegas magician, obsessed with blurring reality and fantasy; eldest son Daniel seeks security as an army doctor post-9/11; and bookish Varya throws herself into longevity research, where she tests the boundary between science and immortality.
A sweeping novel of remarkable ambition and depth, The Immoratalists probes the line between destiny and choice, reality and illusion, this world and the next. It is a deeply moving testament to the power of story, the nature of belief, and the unrelenting pull of familial bonds.

JCC Speaker Lunch: "Getting Old! Elderly Women in the Biblical Period"
Program Description: Duke University Professor Carol Meyers: "Getting Old! Elderly Women in the Biblical Period"
Although there are many references to aging men in Torah, references to elderly women are virtually non-existent. Based on her latest book, Rediscovering Eve, a landmark study of women in ancient Israel, Prof Meyers will provide a glimpse into the lives of elderly women in the biblical period, showing that they made important contributions to household life and were recipients of respectful family-based eldercare.
Carol Meyers, the Mary Grace Wilson Professor of Religious Studies emerita at Duke University, has lectured and published widely in biblical studies and archaeology. Her reference work, Women in Scripture, is a comprehensive look at all biblical women; and her latest book, Rediscovering Eve, is a landmark study of women in ancient Israel. She has been a frequent consultant for media productions and has served as president of the Society of Biblical Literature.

JCC Book Club: "Last Summer at the Golden Hotel"
Program Description: “Last Summer at the Golden Hotel” by Elyssa Friedland
In its heyday, The Golden Hotel was the crown jewel of the hotter-than-hot Catskills vacation scene. For more than sixty years, the Goldman and Weingold families – best friends and business partners – have presided over this glamorous resort which served as a second home for well-heeled guests and celebrities. But the Catskills are not what they used to be – and neither is the relationship between the Goldmans and the Weingolds. As the facilities and management begin to fall apart, a tempting offer to sell forces the two families together again to make a heart-wrenching decision. Can they save their beloved Golden or is it too late?
Long-buried secrets emerge, new dramas and financial scandal erupt, and everyone from the traditional grandparents to the millennial grandchildren wants a say in the hotel’s future. Business and pleasure clash in this fast-paced, hilarious, nostalgia-filled story, where the hotel owners rediscover the magic of a bygone era of nonstop fun even as they grapple with what may be their last resort.

Parenting Neurodivergence Support Group
Program Description: This group will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for people to share their personal experiences and feelings, coping strategies, and firsthand experience raising neurodivergent individuals.

Our guest for this meeting is Elizabeth Zoley, OTR/L, CPC, ELI-MP. She is an Occupational Therapist & Integrative Coach with more than 20 years experience working with children and families. She is the founder of Affect Integrative Therapy which offers a unique style of pediatric occupational therapy services with the integration of child and family coaching.

About the Group Leader: Nili Zaharony is a member of the local Jewish and Israeli communities. She is also the mother of three beautiful children, two of whom carry neurodivergent diagnoses.
