A Jewish Taste of Cuba: Cuban Jewish Cultural Night Friday, May 15 7:30 pm, Bess P. Maltz Center Join Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills YoPro, B’nai B’rith International Young Leadership Network — Los Angeles, and Be’chol Lashon for an evening of authentic Cuban culture with dinner, salsa dancing, rum tasting, and great conversation. Special guest speaker Sienna Girgenti, head of B’nai B’rith International’s Jewish Cuban Relief Project, manages programs and organizational advocacy on Latin American affairs, and will help us learn about the Jewish population that continues to thrive throughout Cuba today.
No seats, no books, no stress, Om Shalom Yoga celebrates Jewish prayer through the moving meditation of a Vinyasa flow yoga class, weaving Jewish text and philosophies with yogic wisdom. It is anchored by leader Zack Lodmer’s clarinet, as he plays songs, prayers, and other Jewish musical meditations throughout. You may know Zack as the clarinet player at the Roven Family Shabbat Unplugged. Bring your yoga mat, towel, and water, and dress in comfortable exercise clothes. Om Shalom Yoga is about an hour and a half.
