May 05 JCP Religious Education Program for 2008-2009 Susan
Rydeen has volunteered to be in charge of the children’s Religious Education
program for the Academic Year 2008-2009. It meets on Sunday mornings. If you are interested in the program, please contact her at susanferman@yahoo.com. Here
is her message to all of us: “I am starting to work on coordinating Religious Education for next year. We would like to get
an idea of how many kids we have interested in RE for next semester (fall), and
what their ages are. I know we have a lot of members with younger children, so
if there is interest, we will set something up that is age-appropriate for the
little one, too. We also would like to hear from anyone interested in having
more formal Hebrew School lessons for the older kids, say ages six and up. If
there is enough interest, we will try to set something up -- perhaps after
school one day a week. Please let me know if
you are interested ASAP, so that we have some lead time to plan for each age
group.” May 18 - JCP Annual General Meeting The JCP Annual General Meeting, including our ELECTIONS, will be held at 6:00 PM at the K-House, 720 NE Thatuna St.,

March 01 PASSOVER - First Seder is Saturday Night, April 19, 2008 The first Seder of Passover will be on Saturday night, April 19, 2008. In the past, the JCP has tried to organize a Community Seder event on the second night or some other night. This year, we are looking for a volunteer who will take charge of planning and organizing a JCP Community Seder. If you are interested, please contact schreck2020@msn.com. JCP members looking to purchase stuff for Passover might want to check out Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Moscow's Palouse Empire Mall. Apparently they have such goodies as seder plates, baby bibs, and ten plagues masks and puppets, baby bibs. April 4th to 6th, 2008 -- Jewish Playwright at Univ of Idaho Jessica Goldberg, whose plays have been performed in NY, LA and Berlin, will be welcomed to the University of Idaho Department of Theatre's New Works Festival. Her play, WARD 57, will be performed on Friday, April 4 @ 7:30 PM, Saturday, April 5 @ 7:30 PM, and Sunday, April 6 @ 2:00 PM. All performances will be at the Kiva Theatre, in the UI College of Education Building. For a map of the location see http://www.class.uidaho.edu/irt/current/current.html. WARD 57 was inspired by Ms. Goldberg's experiences interviewing families of American soldiers at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. "How do we honor sacrifices made by soldiers asked to fight in an unpopular war? When is the honor exposed as exploitation? These are more than theoretical questions at Walter Reed’s Ward 57. Hollywood challenges military policy when a screenwriter asks for interviews with injured veterans for a new movie about their extraordinary sacrifice. This compassionate new drama reveals the personal secrets and political agendas of those on both sides of the controversy over the Iraq war." For biographical information about Jessica Goldberg, see http://www.class.uidaho.edu/irt/current/Goldberg%20bio.html.
