Havdallah Talk is a Saturday evening program sponsored by the Adult Education Committee of our Congregation. Beginning with a beautiful and brief Havdallah ceremony that marks the end of the Sabbath, the Havdallah Talks have featured Jewish authors, including Meir Ribalow, Paul Levinson, Marleen Barr, and Leslie Carroll, and presentations on topics of interest to the Jewish community. 

The evening includes a lively Q&A session with the audience. Light refreshments are served and there is no admission charge. "Havdallah Talk" is open to the community.

Authors Beti Rozen and Peter Hays will celebrate their latest work for young adults: Two Continents, Four Generations-One Hundred Years, Two Stories, with a presentation on "The History of Jews in Brazil-from 1500 to the present" at Congregation Adas Emuno on Saturday, March 20. The authors' novella is set in two time periods, the present and in 1939, and is the true story of a Jewish-American boy who learns about his Brazilian Jewish grandfather and how their lives compare with one another. It is based on the journey of Beti Rozen's father who left Poland for Brazil during the Second World War. A book signing will be held following the presentation. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. with a brief havdallah service led by Cantor Kerith Spencer-Shapiro. Lite refreshments will be served. The program is free and open to the public.
