Gay in the Middle East Across the Israeli Palestinian Divide
Gideon Lichfield
Sunday 3:00 PM–4:15 PM
University Center 122
Identity & Responsibility,
Israel
For years one small space in Jerusalem was an oasis of Jewish-Palestinian coexistence: the Shushan, the city's only gay bar, a refuge for gay hasidim and Palestinian drag queens alike. Stories about how queer shared experience can break down ethnic barriers will lead us into a discussion about why identity is so important to us and the role that it plays in perpetuating conflicts.
How to Talk to Mourners
What to say and what not to say, when someone dies
Mel Glazer
Sunday 3:00 PM–4:15 PM
University Center 303 A
Ritual & Prayer
Our society teaches us how to acquire friends, acquaintances and things, but not how to lose them. When someone dies, we hardly know what to say. People too often say the wrong things because they just don't know the right words. We will discuss "negative grief language," what we should never say to mourners, and "positive grief language," what we should say to mourners.

Ritual & Prayer,
Text & Thought
It seems that most people struggle with prayer. My struggles urged me to look for different models of Jewish prayer, which brought me to writing the Godfile: 10 approaches to personalizing prayer. We will focus on my personal favorite, Rabbi Dr. Eliezer Berkovitz. We will study a beautiful section of his writings and try to personalize his unique and creative approach. Appropriate for all levels.
