SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11 continued MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12 DAY UNDERWRITTEN BY ESTHER & NEAL ZALENKO CenterStage presents... 1 p.m. 6:30 p.m. Dr. Steven Gimbel Einstein's Jewish Science: Physics at the Intersection of Politics and Religion Moshe Arens Flags over the Warsaw Ghetto The Nazis famously tried to denigrate Albert Einstein's theory of relativity by calling it"Jewish science." When the Nazis entered the Warsaw Ghetto on Passover eve, April 19, 1943, they expected some rumbling, but for the most this would be a clean, easy operation to empty the area. What is "Jewish science"? MUM 1 1UPPIMINCI Einstein was working at the same time that Jewish writers and artists like Freud, Schoenberg and Tzara were radically changing their fields. Writers were trying to understand what it meant to be Jewish in an urban industrialized world. How does science influence politics, religion, philosophy and history? Instead, they found a small but determined army of Jewish men and women. Using little more than pistols and Molotov cocktails, this daring group managed to hold back the Nazis, under the command of SS Gen. Juergen Stroop, until May 16. 1 p.m. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the largest Jewish uprising during World War II and a symbol of bravery and heroism. Until now, though, the complete story of the uprising was never known. Andrea Lieber The Essential Guide to Jewish Prayer & Practice (See description on page 5 at 11 a.m.) In Flags over the Warsaw Ghetto, Israel's former minister of defense tells this true story of the uprising, including the existence of two resistance organizations in the ghetto. A thrilling, astonishing and unforgettable story. 6 p.m. Dr. Neal Alpiner The Lunchroom Jungle Co-sponsored by Institute for Retired Professionals (IRP) Stress is one of the hidden dangers facing children today and can lead to depression, poor sleep, poor academic and athletic performance and obesity. 8 p.m. Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal Presentation by Michael Bar-Zohar The Mossad is the great intelligence-gathering agency in the world. It's also among the most enigmatic. THE GREATEST The Lunchroom Jungle identifies key areas where stress creeps in and disrupts the way a child functions at home, at school and with friends. The book uses the I.D.E.A. Method, created by Neal Alpiner, M.D., to help parents develop strategies to reduce and eliminate the areas in a child's life that cause stress. Parents are guided through a series of steps that can help their children become happier and well-adjusted.
