Join the JCC Men’s Club for a special talk by Lawrence Gross. In the time since the Covid-19 lockdowns, we have all become familiar with the term “supply chain.” It has become a catch-all reason for product shortages, inflation and disruption, both in the economy and our daily lives.

What does supply chain mean and why are we now seeing problems? For example, what was the real reason why we ran out of toilet paper during the pandemic?

All are welcome. Program can also be accessed on Zoom.

Join the Men’s Club in the Social Hall on October 1 for an important talk by our member, Raymond Scalettar, MD. As we near another presidential election, the public is concerned with the health of our presidential candidates.

The question is what do we know and what should we know about their health? This presentation will discuss the health of past Presidents and the current presidential candidates. All are welcome.

The program can also be accessed on Zoom. For more information, contact Raymond Scalettar at Rscalettar@msn.com or 301-526-6950.

This illustrated lecture will highlight differences between what is called the “Masoretic” Bible Jews use today, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible known as the Septuagint, sacred texts among the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Pentateuch used by Israel’s Samaritans.

The presentation will also put into context how our ancestors apprehended the sacred writings that were pluriform in their time. Donald will also examine the role scribes played in reproducing, harmonizing, and changing these texts. All are welcome.

Program can also be accessed on Zoom.
