Relay for Life in Benicia, August 24, 2013

Posted on June 5, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Our chapter’s next big event will take place at the Benicia Relay for Life on August 24, 2013.  We will be sponsoring a team to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.  This is not a fundraiser for Hadassah but as we all know, cancer knows no boundaries.

The event is 24 hours long with an incredible ceremony on the evening of the 24th honoring cancer survivors and remembering those who have passed away.  Our team:  CBI, Hadassah, Family & Friends, will have a booth at the event.  We are required to have someone on the track walking at all times (or at least most of the time).  People can sleep overnight at the Benicia High School in tents, where the event takes place.

We need people to join our team, to help fundraise, to staff the booth and walk around the track.  You can join our team “CBI-Hadassah Friends and Family,” by  going to the Relay for Life website and inserting the name of our team in the search box.  Even if you do not want to join the team,  we can use your support.  Come by on the day and cheer us on.  You will find the event inspiring.

Soup, salad and the movie: Aimee and Jaguar; Saturday April 13, 2013; 6:30 p.m.

Posted on March 17, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Aimee and Jaguar

Solano Napa Hadassah will be presenting our annual movie night, Saturday, April 13, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.  We will be showing the movie:  Aimee and Jaguar.  This is a true story about two women living in Berlin during WWII, one Jewish, the other Christian.  The film explores their romantic relationship and gay life in Berlin during this time.  While not rated, the movie may not be appropriate for children  under the age of 17.  It is in German with English subtitles.

The cost of the event is a suggested donation of $10.00 per person or $18.00 per couple.   (A couple is not defined as a “married” couple so if you are single, bring a friend.)  No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Our movie night will take place at Congregation B’nai Israel, 1256 Nebraska Street, Vallejo.    Please RSVP to:  hadassahvallejo@gmail.com, so that we know how many people to expect.

Napa Valley’s Jewish Heritage – book talk on November 11, 2012

Henry Michalski and Donna Mendelsohn will be coming to Congregation B’nai Israel on Sunday November 11, 2012 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. to give us an audio visual presentation about their new book, Napa Valley’s Jewish Heritage.  Despite the title of the book, there is plenty of “Vallejo content.”  There are pictures of Congregation B’nai Israel’s early sisterhood, Hadassah and B’nai B’rith.

Our own Rachel Zrihen interviewed the authors and wrote an article for the Vallejo Times Herald, “Jewish_Heritage_unfolds_in_pages_of_new_book.” Read her article; she includes interesting information in it from the book.

The event is free although donations will be accepted.  The authors will have copies of their book available for sale.  Hadassah will hold a brief membership meeting prior to the beginning of the presentation.
