Temple Beth El Hosts
Author Sara Davidson
Author and journalist Sara Davidson
will be at Temple Beth El in Bloomfield
Township 9:30 a.m. Sunday, May 3.
There will be an
optional TBE
Brotherhood break-
fast at 8:30 prior to
the author's talk.
Breakfast is $2 for
bagel and coffee or
$3 for a full break-
Sara Davidson fast. There is no
charge for the
author's presentation.
Davidson will discuss her book The
December Project: An Extraordinary
Rabbi and a Skeptical Seeker Confront
Life's Greatest Mystery.
Her book tells of the two years she
spent meeting once a week with Rabbi
Zalman Schacter-Shalomi, the charis-
matic founder of the Jewish Renewal
Movement. Together, with humor and
sensitivity, they explored the big ques-
tion, "When you can feel in your cells
that you're coming to the end of your
tour of duty, what is the spiritual work
of this time, and how do we prepare
for the mystery?"
The event is presented in coopera-
tion with Temple Beth El's library and
Brotherhood. For information or to
RSVP, contact Eileen Polk at epolk@
tbeonline.org or (248) 865-0627.

Free Yoga Classes
For Veterans, Families
Free therapeutic yoga classes for veterans
will soon be offered at Karma Yoga West
Bloomfield. Classes begin May 4 and will
continue every Monday afternoon from
1-2:30 pm.
Both veterans and family members
of active duty military personnel are
welcome.
The classes are funded by the Yoga
by Design Foundation, a local nonprofit
foundation that provides yoga to under-
served populations, and will be taught by
Susann Spilkin, ERYT-500.
"Offering a lifeline to those who have
served in the Armed Forces is our col-
lective responsibility, and we are whole-
heartedly committed to this endeavor;
said founder Lynn Medow.
In 2014, Spilkin was trained in
Mindful Yoga Therapy, a model for yoga
programs taught in more than 45 VA
hospitals. Spilkin teaches this class at the
John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in
Detroit.
Research shows that regular yoga
practice can help relieve post-traumatic
stress disorder and and other stress
symptoms in soldiers just returning from
active duty as well as those still strug-
gling 40 years after Vietnam.

Three Scholars To Speak On
'Surviving An Insane World'
Three world-renowned authors will
speak at Young Israel of Oak Park on
Thursday, April 30, as part of an evening
of learning by Ohr Somayach Detroit.
The yom iyun (day of study) will focus
on "Surviving an Insane World," with the
authors presenting the Torah's approach
to everyday challenges.
Rabbis Dovid Gottlieb, Dovid Kaplan
and Dr. Yitzchok Breitowitz from the
Jerusalem faculty of Ohr Somayach will
discuss successful marriage, raising well-
adjusted children and the struggle for
Jerusalem.
The event is presented in memory of
the late Howard (Tzvi) Sherizen, an Oak
Park resident and avid supporter of Ohr
Somayach and other Jewish organiza-
tions. Sherizen worked tirelessly through
illness as in health to engage hundreds
of friends, neighbors, business associates
and total strangers in the task of raising
their awareness of the rich resources
available from authentic Torah study.
Admission is free. Doors open at 7
p.m. with Minchah at 7:15 p.m. followed
by the program at 7:30 p.m. and a des-
sert buffet. For information, call (248)
