In 2004, UJF Director of Education, Ilana De Laney and board member Meryl Gordon partnered to create an evening of adult education workshops for Stamford's Jewish community. Thirteen years later Tapestry is a beloved institution. Attendees will have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of topics - from current affairs to text study - and the chance to schmooze over delicious desserts. Ilana and Meryl will be honored, and Ilana will teach a workshop on the key to living a meaningful life. Registration on-line at: www.ujf.org/Tapestry2016 or by mail with the Tapestry brochure.

This year Tapestry coincides with the Global Day of Jewish Learning, which takes place on Sunday in various locations. The theme for this year is "Under the Same Sky: The Earth is Full of Your Creations." Check out the UJF Adult Education email for details on both adult and children's offerings.

 

This evening will give people a better understanding of the challenges that many people with special needs face each and every day. Izzy Ezagui is an American-born, one-armed squad commander in the Israel Defense Forces. He was injured in combat, losing his dominant arm but returned to the fight. Izzy speaks on topics of motivation, success, and overcoming obstacles.This program is open to the community; Sponsored together with the JCC, JFS and UJF
