To “Put Yourself into Someone Else’s Shoes” is a common expression used to describe truly empathizing with others. But we all know how very difficult it is. In fact it is probably the most formidable task we face as we strive to interact and even to help one another. All of us are so different and our life challenges are uniquely personal. At the reverse end we feel deeply hurt when we perceive that the next person is not “understanding” us. Join Esther and an eclectic group of Tucson women as they discover how Judaism shows us exciting ways to use our amazing “Power of Imagination” to effectively “put ourselves into someone else’s shoes” leading to a richer and more meaningful life for ourselves and those around us. The program is free and open to all women in the Tucson Jewish community.
Any one can join at any time.
Please call Esther Becker to register at 520-591-7680. She would love to have you join!

The angst-ridden youth of Cypress, Texas spend their afternoons practicing Christian Puppet Ministry at the local church. When one of the puppets turns out to have a life of its own, all hell breaks loose. He may look like an innocent sock puppet, but Tyrone shocks the congregation with outrageous insinuations and exposes deep, dark secrets. Described by the New York Times as “darkly delightful,” Hand to God is a fast-paced irreverent comedy about love, grief, and what it means to be human.
Designed to satisfy both the body and the soul! Individuals or families make their own hamentaschen (take & bake). A set-up of dough (enough to make about 12 hamentaschen), rolling pins, cutters, fillings, a disposable baking pan and instructions are provided. Materials also available to decorate Shalach Manot bags and Purim greeting cards. “Set-ups” are $18 each; attendees may purchase more than one set-up.
Proceeds will be divided between the Tucson Community Food Bank, LEKET (the national food bank of Israel) and CAI’s Youth Programs. Feel the mitzvah … do the mitzvah! RSVP a must by Feb. 12.
