Book Club: Henna House by Nomi Eve
Tuesday, Aug 2 - 7:00PM
ZOOM Information will be sent out on July 29.
We are excited to announce that Author, Nomi Eve will be joining our Book Club to discuss her work with us! We hope you join in on this unique experience.
This vivid saga begins in Yemen in 1920. Adela Damari’s parents’ health is failing as they desperately seek a future husband for their young daughter, who is in danger of becoming adopted by the local Muslim community if she is orphaned. With no likely marriage prospects, Adela’s situation looks dire—until she meets two cousins from faraway cities: a boy with whom she shares her most treasured secret, and a girl who introduces her to the powerful rituals of henna. Ultimately, Adela’s life journey brings her old and new loves, her true calling, and a new life as she is transported to Israel as part of Operation On Wings of Eagles.
Rich, evocative, and enthralling, Henna House is an intimate family portrait interwoven with the traditions of the Yemenite Jews and the history of the Holocaust and Israel. This sensuous tale of love, loss, betrayal, forgiveness—and the dyes that adorn the skin and pierce the heart—will captivate readers until the very last page.
Books are available to borrow through Federation's front office. Please call for details.

Chair Yoga!
Chair yoga is offered Friday's at 11:00 am at the Jewish Federation building - come join us!
Chair Yoga is a specific form of yoga as therapy developed by Lakshmi Voelker in 1982, practiced sitting on a chair, or standing using a chair for support. The poses are often adaptations of asanas in modern yoga as exercise.
Chair Yoga, along with other schools of yoga as exercise, have been evaluated for their possible medical benefits. Some health benefits include better balance, lower limb strength, decreased depression, and overall vitality!
