Alden’s third book, This Grateful Heart: Psalmsand Prayers for a New Day, was released inMarch 2017 by the CCAR Press. His other booksare: Jewish Prayers of Hope and Healing and

Hagaddah Companion: Meditations andReadings. His work has been widely anthologized, including: Choosing a Jewish Life, Men Pray,Gates of Shabbat, Mishkah R’fuah and MishkanHanefesh.

Alden’s teaching spans from U.S. synagogues toLimmud Conferences in the U.S. and UK to HUC-JIR in Jerusalem. His prayers also appear onReformJudaism.org and RitualWell.org.

Alden holds an MBA in Economics andFinance, anMA in Journalism and a BA in EnglishComposition. He is a three-time winner of thePeter Lisagor Award for Exemplary Journalism.Alden made aliyah to Israel in 2012 where he hikesfrequently, participates in interfaith prayer andleads ManKind Project Israel.

Tuesdays, April 3, 10, 17, May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 2018 at 7:30pm at Temple SholomLed by Rabbi Moskovitz.Through video lectures, textstudy, and lively group discussion, we are pleased tobring the world-renownedfaculty of the Shalom

Hartman Institute into the Temple Sholom community this spring.

in defining modern Jewish identity. As we look toIsrael’s future, we need to engage anew with our past

and explore its meanings and consequences. ThisiEngage series grapples with the different ideas andvalues that shape the meaning of modern Israel,Zionism, and Jewish identity today. Together wewill engage in a new values-based discourse aboutIsrael, including topics such as: nationhood, land,Sovereignty, Jerusalem, Occupation and Moral RedLines.

Each session includes text study and discussion ledby Rabbi Moskovitz, and video lectures and roundtable discussions with leading Hartman scholars.

Temple Sholom’s journey with the Moustafa familybegan with the unbreakable commitment to themitzvah - “Love the stranger”.

After arriving in Canada a year ago, they are part ofour community in all the senses. Hassan and Mahacontinue their English studies, improving with leapsand bounds. Haydar and Jotries are thriving inschool and completely fluent in English. Incredible!Shana is walking, talking, and totally at home inVancouver. As they continue to plant roots, Maha,the ever dynamo, has turned her true talent and

passion for Kurdish cooking into a proud business -thanks to the encouragement and support of manyTemple Sholom members.

No longer strangers, they are our dear friends, partof the Temple tapestry and living the Canadiandream. The Moustafas have shown over and overagain, love trumps all and does move mountains, thewest coast ones.

A huge thank you to every Temple member, person,and to the Rabbis who made this mitzvah happen.

In the Darkroom is a memoir by Susan Faludithat was first published on June 14, 2016. The memoir centers on the life of Faludi's father, whocame out as transgender and underwent sex reassign-ment surgery at the age of 76. It won the 2016 KirkusPrize for nonfiction and was a finalist for the 2017Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.

In 1989, the author, Michael Chabon traveled toOakland, California, to visit his terminally ill grandfa-ther. Tongue loosened by powerful painkillers, mem-ory stirred by the imminence of death, Chabon’sgrandfather shared recollections and told stories theyounger man had never heard before, uncovering bitsand pieces of a history long buried and forgotten.

Moonglow unfolds as the deathbed confession of aman the narrator refers to only as “my grandfather.”It is a tale of madness, of war and adventure, of sexand marriage and desire, of existential doubt andmodel rocketry, of the shining aspirations anddemonic underpinnings of American technologicalaccomplishment at mid-century and, above all, ofthe destructive impact—and the creative power—of

keeping secrets and telling lies. It is a portrait of thedifficult but passionate love between the narrator’sgrandfather and his grandmother, an enigmaticwoman broken by her experience of growing up inwar-torn France. It is also a tour de force of specu-lative autobiography in which Chabon devises andreveals a secret history of his own imagination.https://www.nytimes.com.
