About 150 people came out to Beth Tikvah Synagogue for what was called A Day in the Life of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The theme of the season was \u201cEating Our Way Through Jewish History: Food, the Doorway to Our Culture\u201d and the lunch, catered by Stacey Kettleman consisted of hummus, falafel, pita, Israeli salad, couscous, and cake for dessert.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch, everyone moved to the sanctuary, where JSA president Ken Levitt welcomed everyone, reiterating the new JSA motto, \u201cSeniors, stronger together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael Schwartz of the Jewish Museum reflected on the JSA-JMABC partnership for this season\u2019s series featuring Jewish food, and introduced the guest artists.<\/p>\n<p>Caviar and Lace, featuring Saul Berson and Michele Carlisle, were superb. Carlisle on keyboard and Berson on clarinet, saxophone and flute, got everyone moving, clapping and singing to Hebrew and Yiddish melodies. There were renditions of \u201cHinei Ma Tov\u201d in two parts and \u201cHeiveinu Shalom Aleichem.\u201d The concert ended with a medley of wedding songs.<\/p>\n<p>Toby Rubin of Kehila Society thanked the guest musicians and everyone for coming. It was a fitting end to a great season, which started in November 2016 with Sholom Aleichem Seniors of the Peretz Centre for Secular Culture, and was followed by the second session in January with JCC Seniors and the third at the Unitarian Centre in April.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shanie Levin<\/strong> <em>is a member of the Jewish Seniors Alliance board.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caviar and Lace entertain the audience at the final Empowerment Series session of the season.
