Images of American Indians infused with the history and mythology of the American West have made John Coleman one of the nation’s most highly regarded contemporary artists. This exhibition, made possible by Frankie and Howard Alper, provides an unparalleled opportunity to examine the career of this pioneering painter, sculptor and influential teacher. It includes creations in charcoal, graphite, oil and bronze, plus some works in progress. Coleman is an award-winning member of the Cowboy Artists of America, a Fellow Member of the National Sculpture Society and a Signature Member of the California Art Club.

What began as a fluke became a personal journey for Thelma Scudi. A self-trained artist from Tucson, Scudi works in cloth and mixed media and credits her talent to ability to see the wonder and beauty in spite of reality. In her description about her piece, Left Turn Lane #1, Scudi states, “I’ll be damned if I find myself standing in the Left Turn Lane, with a sign, at eighty.” The economic viability of older women, who may suddenly find themselves single, is the gist of the story.

Join in for a fun and meaningful way to celebrate Shabbat. Follow along as Morah Liora and Morah Ruti help us lead and learn in our own Shabbat Service. During this service we will be celebrating the children’s birthdays of that month. The program will be held in the social hall.
For those parents looking to participate in the regular adult services, they are able to bring their children to participate in a Shabbat-friendly program for ages 1yr – 2nd grade. The program is designed to engage the kids in music, art, stories and other activities that will allow them to experience and explore Judaism in a fun and friendly way. When the weather allows, outdoor activities will be incorporated as well. The program will also be designed so that the parents who wish to participate are encouraged to stay for the program – this will allow parents who may not be comfortable attending regular services to become familiar with Judaism in a parent/kid friendly way.
