“The Lives of Florida Jews in Professional
Guardianships: Two Current Case Studies”
Two Jewish women in Florida are forever marred by their traumatic life
changes in professional guardianship – isolation from family and friends,
lockdown, massive losses of assets and severe sensory deprivations.
Florence, in Boca Raton, was determined “incapacitated” when her
guardian had her tested without hearing aids despite Florence having been
90% deaf for 50 years. Jan, 69, in Longwood, lived in a tiny room with
bars on the windows, unable to leave the nursing home for years. This
class, presented by the Al Katz Center, begins at 11:00 a.m. via Zoom.
Cost: $10 per day or $50 per month for all May classes. To RSVP and

“The Best Jewish Books You Must Read!”
As “People of the Book,” Jewish readers constantly scrutinize factual
accounts of Jewish interest and survival. One such book of consequence to
modern Jewry is Rafael Medoff’s The Jews Should Keep Quiet, revealing
the intrigues in America’s official detachment from persecuted Jews in the
grips of death and destruction. Why was human suffering of Jewish slaves
unmoving to governmental officials from the top to the bottom, with all
too few exceptions? This class, presented by the Al Katz Center, begins
at 11:00 a.m. via Zoom. Cost: $10 per day or $50 per month for all May
classes. To RSVP and receive the Zoom link, please call Beverly Newman
at 941.313.9239.

“A Brief History of Antisemitism”
With Rabbi Stuart Altshuler
Join Temple Beth Sholom at 1:30 p.m. on Zoom for Part 1 of this Adult
Education series. In this session, we will explore how Jew hatred has
evolved from its ancient roots to the modern period, exploring its ethnic,
religious, racial and today’s anti-Zionist components. While each era has
revealed different ideological premises for antisemitism, we will try to
discover the common thread that existed in each era of history. Fill out
the form on templebethsholomfl.org for the Zoom password and link. No
cost, but donations are always appreciated. For more information, please
call the Temple Beth Sholom office at 941.955.8121 or email info@
