Most of us know nothing of modern Egyptian Jewry, which endured until their expulsion with the creation of the State of Israel. Dr. Zonana will take us back to Egypt to look at the culture that once existed there. Joyce Zonana is a writer, literary translator, and professor emerita of English at the City University of New York. A MacDowel Fellow, she has received several translation awards, including the PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant and the ALTA Emerging Translator Mentorship. She was born in Cairo and raised in New York City. Her memoir, Dream Homes: From Cairo to Katrina, an Exile's Journey, grew out of her realization that all of her academic writing was really about herself Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88617950314?pwd=MVRHZnMrNEV4OHZHTHJGc2FKLzlsQT09 Cape Verdean-Jewish Passover Seder Co-sponsored by Temple Sinai Sunday, March 21 2:00 pm EDT on Zoom Cape Verdeans and Jews – What do we have in common?

  • From Purim to Pesach and Back
    RABBI’S MESSAGE From Purim to Pesach and Back The Hebrew calendar gives us a double blessing in the months of Adar and Nissan, with the holidays of Purim and Passover coming back-to-back. These celebrations are very different from each other, and yet the progression of one to the other on the calendar can give interesting ideas to explore. Both deal with bitter enemies and the possibility of genocidal extinction. The Purim villain, Haman, manipulates the Persian king into decreeing legalized murder of the Jewish people. Haman’s plan fails and the Jews retaliate. The Passover villain, Pharaoh, also threatens extinction by murdering Jewish baby boys at birth. This plan also fails, and the Israelites are redeemed by G-D’s “mighty hand and outstretched arm” to escape into the wilderness and eventually the Promised Land. From the 15th of Adar to the 15th of Nissan, the score is: Jews 2, Evil 0. Yes, both Purim and Pesach fulfill the traditional theme about Jewish holidays: “They tried to kill us. We survived. Let’s eat.” The survival elements and food are certainly part of our contemporary celebrations for both holidays. The threats occur differently, and so do our observances. While Passover precedes Purim chronologically, Purim precedes Passover on the calendar. I’ve often considered the various ways these two springtime festivals differ as ways to look at the growth of our people. In the Book of Esther, the name of God is not mentioned. In the traditional Passover Haggadah, the name of Moses is not mentioned. We are taught that Moses’ name was left out of the Haggadah for fear of deifying Moses.

  • Passover Haggadah
    PASSOVER HAGGADAH Compiled from various sources by Rabbi Ron Stern and Cantor Emma Lutz I love all sorts of stories but I have a particular fondness for short stories. It’s an extraordinary challenge: telling a compelling narrative in an economical way with a beginning, middle, and end that makes you think and even inspires you to act in certain ways. Passover is the quintessential Jewish storytelling time. Embedded in the Haggadah is the master narrative of our People. And whatever version you use—whether an old, stained Maxwell House edition or even one you’ve designed yourself—the essential message can be summed up quite succinctly: “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt. God freed us for a purpose.” This is our core story. Our empathy comes from our experience of having been strangers in a strange land. We were oppressed and so we have a special concern for the most vulnerable. And then we experienced the fulfilment of our collective dream: we were redeemed from bondage, we went forth a free people. But the story doesn’t end there, on the other side of the sea. We travel as a people to Sinai where the purpose of our freedom is revealed. Our job is to bring redemption to the world. It’s the greatest story ever told and it’s a great mitzvah—a deep and holy obligation— to re-tell it every year, to be inspired by it so that we can live its message. Chag Sameach.

  • An Evaluation of Zoom and Microsoft Teams Video Conferencing
    An Evaluation of Zoom and Microsoft Teams Video Conferencing Software with Network Packet Loss and Latency An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Eric Baccei, Alexander Clopper, Taylan Sel Submitted to: Professor Mark Claypool Worcester Polytechnic Institute 1 Abstract Video conferencing is an increasingly important form of communication, but there are few studies on how network quality affects new conferencing services. We studied Zoom and Microsoft Teams, video conferencing tools targeted towards businesses. Our user study had users rate their experiences during simulated normal conversation with network latencies and packet drop. Our study found that the network conditions did not significantly change user ratings, but Zoom had higher ratings than Microsoft Teams overall. Analysis of our benchmarking results showed that although network traffic for both services varied with network conditions, Zoom had a more constant bitrate than Teams which aligned with the responses received in the user study. 2 Table of Contents Abstract 1 Table of Figures 4 1- Introduction 6 2 - Background and Related Work 9 2.1 - Video Compression Technology 9 2.1.1 - MPEG 9 2.1.2 - H.261 / H.263 10 2.1.3 - Comparison 12 2.2 - Digital Communication Architectures 13 2.2.1 - Peer to Peer Connection 13 2.2.1 - Client-Server Connection 14 2.3 - Network Protocols 15 2.3.1 - TCP 15 2.3.2 - UDP 16 2.3.3 - MQTT 17 2.4 - Tools

  • Passover Guide & March 2021
    VIRTUAL SEDERS MARCH 27 5:00PM MARCH 28 5:00PM PAGE 3 PASSOVER GUIDE & MARCH 2021 ADAR / NISSAN1 5781 BULLETIN A MESSAGE FOR PASSOVER A Message for Passover Every year we remind the participants at the Passover table that the recounting of the experience is a “Haggadah,” a telling, and not a “Kriyah,” a reading. What’s the difference? A reading is simply going by the script of what’s on the page. A telling, on the other hand, requires both creativity, and the art, making the story pop. While the words on the page of the Haggadah have been the basis for the Passover Seder for thousands of years, they are merely jumping off points for rituals, conversations, and teaching the Passover narrative to our children and to each other. Taking part in a fulfilling Seder isn’t about reading every word on the page, but rather making the words that you do read come to life. Look no further than the famous Haggadah section of the Four Children to remind us of our responsibility to make the Seder interesting for every kind of participant. The Haggadah offers us four different types of Seder guests, the wise one, the rebellious one, the simple one, and the one who doesn’t know how to ask. We are given guidelines for how to explain the meaning of Passover to each of them. The four children remind us that each type of person at the table requires a different type of experience, and it’s the leader’s job to make the narrative relevant for each of them.

She introduced Linnea Hagberg of Senior Care who talked about Senior Care's mission to keep people 60 years of age and older in their homes or community of choice and offer support services. Senior Care receives Federal and State funding. Early in the pandemic, a critical need for additional meals for seniors became apparent (since many seniors couldn't go out), so Senior Care increased its meal programs with support from area COAs. When Senior Care received Cares Act and additional Federal funding, it decided to give money back to the COAs. Hamilton was one of the first to receive a check. Darcy Dale asked if there would be more opportunities for funding from Senior Care.
