Awakening yourself spiritually for the Jewish High Holydays.
Poem on letting go of the negativity of the past.
In the beginning was created God, the heavens and the earth (according to Jewish mystical tradition).
Hypothyroidism. Taking supplements.
Shari: this thing I learned. It turns out that Abraham and Sarah...she was infertile. So he had an heir by Hagar, Sarah’s servant. When Sarah got pregnant at the advanced age, Abraham had a problem since he already had Ishmael. Sent Hagar and Ish. Into the wilderness. They survived, and he was the father of the Arabs. So if Jews and Arabs are brothers, why do they fight?
Ellen gene project found most genetic commonality between Ashkenazi Jews and Misrachi Jews (those who stayed in the middle East) followed by great similarity between Jews and Arabs. Very little similarity between Ashkenazi Jews and the Europeans among whom they had lived for thousands of years.
Vlasta: I am a Jew by choice. Before I was nothing. ... My mother rejected religion because her child died. I was a substitute for the child who died.
Shari I think it very interesting that circumcision is a preventative for AIDS.
Vlasta: Dennis Kuchinich interviewed by a woman in Syria, wonderful ideas. Video of the 15 min. interview, his ideas on how to have peace in midEast.
...I was speaking at City Council and commissioners today. Testified about how to save the county millions of dollars. ... NoJail PAC a thoughtful group of pofessors etc. ... Michael Patton, an engineer, running for council, a good guy. Was fired from G.E. For being too honest. Said the jet engine not safe. He said to the sheriff and the commissioners that it is unethical for the sheriff to use county money to publicize pro-jail propaganda.
Mira: Fri, 14th, at Imago on Enright Ave. there is a Friday Conversation. Food provided. 6:00. Ask $10 donation. Topic: sharing information about local resources for sustainability; reducing carbon footprint. Discussion of website creation.

Hey Cincinnati! Come join in the best interracial healing effort in town, the “Voices of Freedom Choir”. It’s the chorus under Cathy Roma and Todd O’Neale, used to be called the Martin Luther King Chorale. Now under the sponsorship of the Freedom Center. Just went to the first rehearsal, and it was fine!
No audition, good neo spirituals music, great vibes, only two rehearsals a month now until spring. Main gig is the MLK day performance at Music Hall. Every second and fourth Tuesday evenings, 6:30 to 8:30 at the Freedom Center. You follow Walnut St. all the way down to the center, free parking on the street. Loads of fun. It’s a great way to build community solidarity. Get on down there. Ellen

Hi Ellen,I thought you might be interested in knowing about this upcoming workshop. I have Meir Schneider's natural vision training book and cds and find them very valuable. Something like what Nancy shared with us last year, but this is a man who taught himself to see, from growing up blind...
When you send the notice out to your group, you can add that if enough people are interested, I will do a group at Lloyd House. I would need a minimum of 4-5 people to do it there. There is no upper limit to the number that can attend. Peter Block has done small group workshops with several hundred people and they did fine.
Yours,
Shirley

Fanchon Shur, salonista and movement maven cranking up for the season!
Dear students,
I am back from vacation. Let's get ready to sweat. The fall pure
movement classes have begun on Monday nights 6:30- 8pm and Wednesday
mornings 9:30- 11am.
While in LA I enjoyed studying with master teachers who combine
cardio stimulating aerobics with training for Krav Maga, a self
defense movement art created in Isreal. The stimulating cardio
aerobics reawakened my FFF The Power of Instinct program. After
doing FFF The Power of Instinct for 5 years in the most challenging
Over the Rhine Public school I had put the program aside. But now I
remember that this instinctual force when tapped has enormous
liberating, integrating power. The art is to tap that power while
paying attention to your body's alignment, release of tensions and
emotion.

In addition to the models & preparatory drawings, a collection of Julian Stanczak's work from throughout his career provide a context for his newest monumental project. Polish-born Stanczak trained under Josef Albers & Conrad Marca-Relli at Yale University's School of Art & Architecture. He brought this background to the Art Academy of Cincinnati where he taught from 1957-1964. Stanczak's work is characterized by scientific precision & the illusion of pulsating motion. Using repeated line patterns, his work studies the optical behavior of colors in close proximity to each other. His work earned him the moniker "Father of Op Art." At Contemporary Art Center, 44 East 6th Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. More info @ 513.345.8400, pr@cacmail.org, & www.contemporaryartscenter.org.
