CBI's Pride Shabbat

featuring Peter Savastano, "The Overqualified Jew" 

Saturday, June 3, 2023 // 9:30 am // at CBI

We are thrilled to introduce Peter Savastano, PhD., a Professor of
Anthropology at Seton Hall University, and a member of the Department of
Social Work, Criminal Justice and Religion, as our Pride Shabbat Speaker. Dr
Savastano is a member of the LGBTQ+ community who recently converted to
Judaism (curious to know why?). One Rabbi at his conversion Bet Din remarked
that he is "overqualified to be Jewish". He teaches courses in Anthropology
and Religious studies, and is excited to share his personal and scholarly
observations and perspectives with the CBI community. 

Dr Savastano supports Circle of Friends, which provides scholarship money
for transgendered youth in Newark. To contact them, reach out to: Circle of
Friends-NPA, c/o Dean James Credle, 51 Clifton Avenue, Apt. C-2101, Newark,
NJ 07104.

Bookends with Sisterhood

Monday, June 26th // 7:00 pm // on Zoom

The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman is a prequel to her best-selling,
Practical Magic. This is the story of Franny, Jet, and Vincent Owens,
growing up in mid-20th Century New York. The siblings are being raised by
their mother with "rules" in an attempt to avoid the family legacy, a curse
passed down from the time of the Salem Witch Trials. But is it really
possible to change your true self?

This Week's Tip from.

The CBI Alliance for Sustainability

In the hour when the Holy One, blessed be He, created the first person, He
showed him the trees in the Garden of Eden, and said to him: "See My works,
how fine they are; Now all that I have created, I created for your benefit.
Think upon this and do not corrupt and destroy My world, For if you destroy
it, there is no one to restore it after you."' (Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:28)

Switch to a rechargeable lawn mower or to a landscaper who uses rechargeable
ones. The EPA estimates that hour-for-hour, gasoline powered lawn mowers
produce 11 times as much pollution as a new car! (figures from October,
2018). Advocate for local ordinances that would ban the use of gas powered
lawn mowers.
