Speaker Series: Around the World in Eighty Wines (Multi-access) Thursday, October 19, 11:00 a.m. Inspired by Jules Verne’s famous novel, Mike Veseth will take you Around the World in Eighty Wines (in the temple social hall). The point of the trip isn’t to circumnavigate in a race against the clock, but rather to discover what it is about wine that has made it such an important part of global culture for thousands of years. Mike will tell some of the best stories from his recent book and help you understand and appreciate the world of wines you can find on the shelves of your local store. Will we taste a little wine? Of course! Please RSVP to Olivia at olivia@tbetacoma.org. This is a free event, sponsored by Lamed Vav. Donations are appreciated.

Mississippi Summer (Seattle Jewish Theater Company) Sunday, November 5, 2:00 p.m. Temple Beth El will be hosting a performance of Mississippi Summer. Written and directed by Art Feinglass, the historically based play is set in the summer of 1965 when hundreds of young volunteers traveled to Mississippi to work for civil rights. It focuses on three of those volunteers, two of them Jewish, on the outspoken local rabbi, and on a dynamic Black civil rights leader. The play will be performed by the Seattle Jewish Theater Company at Seattle and Tacoma venues, including Temple Beth El, in the fall. This performance is sponsored by Lamed Vav and is free to the public.
