SUMMARY:Grief Circle: A Community of Presence and Support
DESCRIPTION:“We gather not because we have answers for one another\, but because we believe no one should have to carry grief alone.” \nThe OZ Grief Circle is a welcoming\, peer-supported gathering for adults experiencing loss\, grief\, caregiving challenges\, or major life transitions. Together\, we create space for honest conversation\, compassionate listening\, reflection\, and connection. \nEach gathering offers opportunities to share\, listen\, and draw strength from community\, along with Jewish wisdom\, readings\, and rituals that can help us navigate loss\, memory\, healing\, and hope. \nThe Grief Circle is led by trained facilitators and OZ members Michael Schaal and Harvey Klein\, together with Rabbi Ariel.\nThis is not a therapy group. It is a community of presence and support grounded in compassion\, confidentiality\, and mutual care. Whether your loss is recent or something you have carried for years\, you are welcome. \nMeets on the first Tuesday of each month\, 5:30–7:00 pm\, in the Samuelson-Saiger Sanctuary.\n\nTo help foster meaningful conversation and connection\, registration is requested. \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Grief Circle: A Community of Presence and Support
DESCRIPTION:“We gather not because we have answers for one another\, but because we believe no one should have to carry grief alone.” \nThe OZ Grief Circle is a welcoming\, peer-supported gathering for adults experiencing loss\, grief\, caregiving challenges\, or major life transitions. Together\, we create space for honest conversation\, compassionate listening\, reflection\, and connection. \nEach gathering offers opportunities to share\, listen\, and draw strength from community\, along with Jewish wisdom\, readings\, and rituals that can help us navigate loss\, memory\, healing\, and hope. \nThe Grief Circle is led by trained facilitators and OZ members Michael Schaal and Harvey Klein\, together with Rabbi Ariel.\nThis is not a therapy group. It is a community of presence and support grounded in compassion\, confidentiality\, and mutual care. Whether your loss is recent or something you have carried for years\, you are welcome. \nMeets on the first Tuesday of each month\, 5:30–7:00 pm\, in the Samuelson-Saiger Sanctuary.\n\nTo help foster meaningful conversation and connection\, registration is requested. \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn // Public Libraries are Being Tested: The First Amendment & Intellectual Freedom
DESCRIPTION:// A talk by Mary Danko\, Director of the Fletcher Free Library \nWhat does intellectual freedom really mean and what happens when it is challenged? This timely and engaging program explores the essential role public libraries play in protecting the freedom to read\, access information\, and support diverse ideas. We’ll consider book challenges and other real-world situations libraries face involving displays\, programs\, meeting rooms\, privacy\, and First Amendment rights. \nFletcher Free Library Director Mary Danko will also explore how strong policies\, professional ethics\, and thoughtful decision-making help libraries navigate difficult and sometimes controversial situations\, while remaining welcoming institutions that serve the entire community. \nAbout Our Speaker: \nMary Danko is nearing her 10-year anniversary as Director of Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library\, having previously served as library director in Sunapee\, New Hampshire\, and in Weathersfield and Hartland\, Vermont. She holds a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree from Syracuse University\, and more recently an MBA from Champlain College. \nMary grew up outside of Cleveland\, Ohio\, the granddaughter of immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Ireland. Her parents never attained a college degree\, but they fostered in Mary a love of reading and a lifelong intellectual curiosity\, as well as introduced her to regular visits to the local library. \n  \nREGISTER HERE
