Presentation by Joe Tradii on Jewish poetry
At our first luncheon of the fall, we’ll join writer, poet, and Jewish community member Joe Tradii for an examination of Jewish poetry, from Torah through the modern age. His presentation will explore various forms of poetry, Jewish poets from all eras, and the difference between reading in English and Hebrew. No knowledge necessary — just a curious mind! Joe is a member of Temple Beth Shalom, an award-winning author, and a published poet. He also created the online store JewLoveIt.com, which sells Jewish-themed merchandise.
Presentation by members of Gonzaga University’s Jewish Student Union
Several members of Gonzaga’s Jewish Student Union, a campus club formerly known as the Jewish Bulldogs, will join us to talk about the history of the club, what Jewish life is like on campus nowadays, and what the JSU’s achievements and challenges have been thus far.
