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 CHILDREN OF WILLESDEN LANE By Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen
“A beautiful book. An inspiring tribute to the power of a mother’s love.” Meryl Streep
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Children of Willesden Lane is a powerful memoir of music, hope and survival set in Europe during the holocaust. In the book, authors Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen tell the story of Lisa Jura, Golabek’s mother. in 1938, 14-year-old Lisa was an amazing young musician who dreamed of becoming a concert pianist. When Hitler’s army invaded the family’s hometown of Vienna, Austria, Lisa’s parents made the difficult decision to send her to London as part of the Kinder transport, a rescue mission that took nearly 10,000 Jewish children to safety in Britain. There, separated from her family, Lisa built a community with other refugees in a children’s hostel on Willesden Lane and fought to realize her dreams against a backdrop of war, loss and despair. Her music became a lifeline—not only for herself, but also for those around her—and helped form a web of support and connection that enabled people of all ages to main-tain hope, endure tragedy and rebuild their lives.
We would like to encourage everyone to read The Children of Willesden Lane and join facilitator, Ruth Rotkowitz, from Generations After, as she takes us on a slide show journey and discussion of the book. If you don’t get a chance to read the book before, I know that you will want to read it after.
On April 4th, Mona Golabek, a Grammy-nominated musician, will be performing at the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts. A concert pianist, Mona Gorelick combines music and talk-acting to re-tell her mother’s story.
