A Cuban Shabbat with Ruth Behar

Join distinguished speakers and performers to celebrate and explore culture, music, philosophy, current events, books and more with a Jewish twist. Light Shabbat candles, raise a glass of wine, tear a piece of challah and enjoy a delicious oneg Shabbat (wine and noshes) after the program. Join author, filmmaker and anthropologist Ruth Behar for an extraordinary Cuban Shabbat celebration. After a Kabbalat Shabbat service led in Nusach Cuba, Behar reads from her new book, An Island Called Home: Returning to Jewish Cuba, and leads a discussion on her journey back to her homeland. The evening includes authentic Jewish-Cuban cuisine, an exhibition of Humberto Mayol’s photographs, Cuban-Jewish music and salsa dance instruction from Behar. Register by October 2
