The Ballerina of Auschwitz, a
conversation with Dr. Edith
Eger, was brought to the com-
munity by The Shul-Chabad
Lubavitch, the Friendship Circle
Adult Volunteers and Chabad
of Ann Arbor. With more than
100 computers logged in, it was
an evening to be remembered.
On Feb. 3, as the streets outside
were covered in snow, partici-
pants enjoyed warmth, meaning
and inspiration.
“Dr. Eger answered questions
about her books, The Choice and
The Gift, and shared some of her
deep wisdom to help us focus
on using our gifts to choose
effectively to make the world a

better place,
” said Itty Shemtov
of The Shul.
Participant Lois Shulman
said, “Dr. Eger affirmed and
spoke to the way I choose to
live my life each day. She is an
exemplary human being with
wisdom. I am thankful for the
opportunities she brings to the
lives she touches with her words
and her modeling of a life lived.

According to participant
Laurie Leeb, “Every sentence
she stated was filled with rel-
evant meaningful straightfor-
ward messages.

Everyone is welcome to
join book club discussions on
select chapters of both books

at theshul.net/reservation.

Two groups are being formed:
Sunday mornings and Monday
evenings.
