Shred Sisters, by Betsy Lerner

Facilitated by Patrick Tracy

FICTION, 268 pages, Available in Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle, Audiobook

 It is said that when one person in a family is unstable, the whole family is destabilized. Meet the Shreds. Olivia is the sister in the spotlight until her stunning confidence becomes erratic and unpredictable, a hurricane leaving people wrecked in her wake. Younger sister Amy, cautious and studious to the core, believes in facts, proof, and the empirical world. None of that explains what’s happening to Ollie, whose physical beauty and charisma mask the mental illness that will shatter Amy’s carefully constructed life.

Spanning two decades, Shred Sisters is an intimate and bittersweet story exploring the fierce complexities of sisterhood, mental health, loss and love.

Longlisted for the  Center for Fiction First Novel Prize.

 Please RSVP for dinner. There is NO cost to attend.  Dinner begins at 6:30pm. Program begins at 7:00pm

We’re going to begin to offer a new kind of prayer experience once a month on Saturday mornings, in lieu of our usual morning service, which we’re calling Shabbat Hadasha: a new Shabbat.

The intention of this service is to be able to enter into fewer words of liturgy but with more depth. We’ll spend time through chant, meditation, learning, and reflection with some of the core ideas within the prayers, opening them up and making them more accessible to all. We’ll offer a Torah service with a shorter Torah reading so that we can go more in depth with the verses themselves and explore what wisdom they might have to offer in our lives, right now. 

Join Rabbi Lauren and your Or Hadash family for a visitation to Arlington Cemetery.

Location: Arlington Cemetery, 201 Mount Vernon Hwy NWAtlanta, GA 30328

Join us for Tashlich followed by a community-wide Reverse Tashlich river cleanup.

Tashlich is a Rosh Hashanah ritual in which Jews begin the new year by symbolically casting off last year's sins by  tossing pebbles or bread crumbs into a  body of water.

In 2016, the college division of Repair the Sea (Scubi Jew®) at Eckerd College conceived the idea of hosting a Reverse Tashlich: a beach cleanup to remove human "sins" from the water.

Every year since, Reverse Tashlich has expanded as new communities have joined and removed thousands of pounds of debris from waterfront locations around the world as part of their High Holiday observance. Last year over 3000 participants from 245 communities in 12 countries joined the initiative. Or Hadash will participate this year by cleaning up as part of the Chattahoochee RiverKeepers.

details on where to meet and what to bring will be provided later. Great for all ages and stages!
