I heard Joel speak at the Greenburgh Hebrew Center (Dobbs Ferry, New 
York). He was great. I bought his book and it was the first book in many 
a year (since Harry Potter left me high and dry) that I didn't throw 
over the balcony rail. I really like it.

[ha-Safran] idea for kick-off event for synagogue-wide read

2012-08-27 Thread Hillary
Hi all, 
 
   Last time I wrote, my synagogue was in the process of selecting a book for a 
synagogue wide read.  The book we eventually chose is:  Self-portrait of a 
Hero:  The Letters of Jonathan Netanyahu.  The children of the congregation 
will read age appropriate books about heros.  I am now trying to plan a 
kick-off event for the adult members of the congregation to get them excited 
about reading the book.  I thought of having a member of the Israeli Defense 
Forces come and speak, but am having no luck so far.  I am trying to contact 
the director/producer of the film Follow Me based upon the book, but no luck 
with that either so far.  If anyone has any idea for a program (it doesn't have 
to be a long proram - 20-30 minutes will do), I would greatly appreciate it if 
you would share it with me.  
 
Thanks, 
Hillary Finkel__

Hi Hillary,

I don't know where you are located, but the Israeli Consulate has a speaker's 
bureau. They may be able to help you find someone.

Kol tuv,
Kathe
