The Ottoman Lieutenant- A Movie Review

A beautiful, strong-willed, woman, who, frustrated by ongoing injustice at home, leaves the United States to work at a remote medical mission within the Ottoman Empire – a world both exotic and dangerous, and on the brink of what is about to become the first World War. Now, with invading army forces at their doorstep, and the world about to plunge into all-out war, she must make a decision if she wants to be what other people want her to be, or to be herself. Please join Rabbi Wisnia for a discussion of this historic period – and a movie review. A kosher lunch will be served. The program is open to all and there is a suggested donation of $5.00 per person.

Summer Reading Series- The Conversation: A Revolutionary Plan For End-Of-Life Care

When: June 29th at 12:30pm

Where: Congregation Beth Chaim (329 Village Road East, Princeton Junction)

Book by:  Angelo E. Volandes

Details: Dr. Angelo E. Volandes believes that a life well lived deserves a good ending. Through the stories of seven patients and seven very different end-of-life experiences, he demonstrates that what people who are approaching the end of their lives need most is not new technologies but one simple thing: The Conversation. He argues for a radical re-envisioning of the patient-doctor relationship and offers ways to talk about this difficult issue to ensure that patients will be at the center and in charge of their medical care. This might be the most important conversation you ever have. Discussion is led by Rabbi Adena Blum. A kosher lunch will be served. This program is open to all and there is a suggested donation of $5.00 per person.

RSVP is required by 6/23 to Beth Englezos at bethe@jfcsonline.org or 609-987-8100 ext. 126.
