Jewish Themes in Film:
Tuesday, February 8 at 7:30 pm
Tuesday, March 1 at 7:30 pm
We will be viewing a film and then engaging in discussion. George Goodman will lead us in discussion about the Jewish themes represented in films.

Lecture Series-Jews in Sports:
Sunday, February 13 at 10:45 am
Jews have not always been associated with athletic achievement. But from Hank Greenberg (who missed a game during a tight pennant race in 1934 because it fell on Yom Kippur) to Sandy Kaufax (who missed game 1 of the World Series in 1965 for the same reason), Jews have always been a part of sports. There are a dozen Jews playing on NFL teams in the 2010-2011 season (none on the Steelers).

Jonathan Mayo, a senior writer from MLB.com, will join us for our Sunday morning lecture series to discuss Jews in sports, and the impact they have had on popular culture and perception over time. Teens and guests are welcome.

Lecture Series-Jewish Continuity:
Sunday, March 13 at 10:45 am
Cindy Shapiro will be speaking about the challenges and opportunities of maintaining Jewish continuity.

Sundays at 10: 45 am (Jan 9, 16 & 30 and Feb 6 & 20)

Please RSVP for all events to office@bethsamuel.org or 724-266-5238. Refreshments will follow the lectures. There is no cost for any events.
