"HEADING HOME", A Story About Israel's Baseball Team
Thelma Newberger Hirsh's cousin, Jeremy Newberger made a movie about Israel’s National Baseball team. It’s opening in the West Newton Cinema. Ezra Schwartz is mentioned in the film. This is a stirring story of sports, patriotism and personal growth, Heading Home charts the underdog journey of Israel's national baseball team competing for the first time in the World Baseball Classic. After years of defeat, Team Israel is finally ranked among the world's best in 2017, eligible to compete in the prestigious international tournament. Their line-up included several Jewish American Major League players - most with a tenuous relationship to Judaism, barely any ever having set foot in Israel. The team laughs, cries, and does much soul-searching, discovering the pride of representing Israel on the world stage. 
Opening night will be December 15th at 8 pm at the West Newton Cinema. There is also a special Matinee on Sunday, December 16th with team members!

In honor of the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein (American composer, conductor, author, music lecturer, and pianist, who was born in Lawrence, MA, in 1918), our next YI Book Club selection will be  Family Matters: Sam, Jennie and the Kids by Burton Bernstein .
 
Family Matters, originally in the New Yorker, is about the Bernsteins — Sam, the father; Jennie, the mother; and their three children: Leonard, Shirley and Burton, the book's author. In this updated edition, Burton intimately recounts the family's roots, its trials, and the stunning success of his older brother, whose worldwide celebrity changed all their lives.
 
All book club books may be purchased from Amazon through the link on the YI website, which will provide Young Israel with 10 percent of the purchase price. We also try to ensure that there are sufficient copies available through the Sharon Public Library system for all of our Book Club selections. New members are always welcome. Hope to see you there!

There is currently a wonderful exhibit on Leonard Bernstein at Brandeis University . Ellen Smith, who helped curate the exhibit, has offered to give our YI Sharon Book Club our own personal tour of the exhibit. Given that we are reading Family Matters for our next selection, we thought this might be a fun and interesting tie-in to our reading of the book and are trying to get a group together for Sunday, November 4, at 1:00 p.m. We would meet at the Dreitzer Gallery in the Spingold Theater Center. Parking is available behind the theater.

Maimonides School will host its annual community commemoration of the Kristallnacht pogrom 
Saturday evening, November 10, beginning at 7:30

Atty. Michael Ross, the former Boston City Councilor, will present a film about his father Stephan, a survivor of the Shoah and founder of the New England Holocaust Memorial. 
Reservations are requested but not required (mike@maimonides.org, 617-232-4452, ext. 405).

Mr. Ross, who was born as Szmulek Rozental in Lodz, Poland, endured the horrors of 10 concentration camps before he was liberated in 1945 and brought to a Jewish orphanage in Mattapan three years later. He devoted the rest of his life to counseling at-risk youth and to establishing the memorial, which opened in Boston's North End in 1995. The film recounts how Mr. Ross built a second life in the U.S., dedicating himself to helping people, including a career counseling young people. The film culminates when Mr. Ross meets the family of the soldier who liberated him from Dachau.
Copies of Mr. Ross's 2018 biography, From Broken Glass, will be available for purchase.

Young Israel of Sharon and Chevrat Nashim have teamed up again with Dignity Matters.
Dignity Matters is a registered charity that supplies feminine hygiene products and underwear to women and girls living in homeless or low-income situations, to help them stay healthy, regain self confidence, and live with basic dignity. Homeless and critically poor women and girls are in desperate need of feminine products each month. Food stamps do not cover these products and people rarely donate them to charities and shelters. Many women are forced to choose between buying these necessary products for themselves, or buying food for their families. Please visit thwir website at www.dignity-matters.org to learn more.
Thank you for your continued support. Bins will be located in the front lobby at Mikvah Mei Ezra and near Sandy's office at YI starting Monday.
Please only donate new and lightly used bras, new underwear, and feminine hygiene products.
