On April 22, 2018 we lost our younger son, Zachary, then 26, in a car/pedestrian
accident. Grief riven, my wife Diane and I, along with my older brother and his wife,
decided to go ahead with a long-planned visit to my grandfather's shtetl in eastern Poland.
We would be the first descendants to return. This sad trip became the subject of an essay
that was co-published in the Delacorte Review of the Columbia School of Journalism and
Moment Magazine this past January. This talk revolves around that trip and my current
related book project.
Lunch: Nakoma Salad, dinner rolls & mini muffins, choice of entrée: Baked Atlantic
salmon with caper dill sauce or Vegetable phyllo (sautéed squash, peppers, onions,
tomatoes, spinach & herbed cream cheese wrapped in phyllo dough, topped with
marinara and crème fraiche), wild mushroom risotto cake, vegetable medley. Dessert:
Dark chocolate ganache three-layer cake
Please join your neighbors, volunteers and Jewish Social Services staff for candle lighting, challah, wine, songs and discussion to usher in Shabbat, along with the opportunity to recite Kaddish. We look forward to spending this special time together with you! We celebrate Shabbat at Capitol Lakes on the first Friday of each month, led by JSS Rabbi Renee Bauer or Hillel Rabbi Andrea Steinberger, with assistance from JSS Staff and UW-Hillel student volunteers.
