Fall Course Dates—and a Summer Reading Guide!

Lectures. Talks. Ideas.
Dear Friends,
Hope your summers are off to a great start! We couldn’t be more excited to reconnect with you in September for our first fall courses at the Al Green Theatre in the Miles Nadal JCC.
Knowing how busy your schedules are, I’m sharing the dates and times of these fall programs in case you’d like to mark them in your calendars:
Thursdays, 10:30 AM-Noon, September 11-October 23 (No Lecture October 2 for Yom Kippur)
Fridays, 10:30 AM-Noon, September 12-October 17
Wednesdays, 1-2:30 PM, November 12-December 17
Fridays, 10:30 AM-Noon, November 7-December 12
In the next edition of this newsletter, which will hit your inboxes in the second half of July, we’ll unveil the topics and speakers for these four courses and open registration. They will feature some of our most popular lecturers and you’ll be the very first to know as soon as sign-up is open!
In the meantime, I’d like to share a fun new feature I’m calling “The Speakers Annex Summer Reading Guide.” I asked some of our favourite lecturers to share a few books you might enjoy over the summer months and you can see the full list HERE. Email [email protected] if you’d like me to add your own summer reading suggestions for others to enjoy!
Hope you all have a wonderful Canada Day next week. We’ll have more for you very soon!
