The Tribe, narrated by Peter Coyote

What can the most successful doll on the planet show us about being Jewish today? Narrated by Peter Coyote, the film mixes old school narration with a new school visual style. The Tribe weaves together archival footage, graphics, animation, Barbie dioramas, and slam poetry to take audiences on an electric ride through the complex history of both the Barbie doll and the Jewish people- from Biblical times to present day. By tracing Barbie's history, the film sheds light on the questions: What does it mean to be an American Jew today? What does it mean to be a member of any tribe in the 21st Century?

Is your pet a member of the family?

If so, you may want to check out Pet Prayers and Blessings: Celebrations and Ceremonies to Share With The Animals You Love. The book, by Laurie Sue Brockway and Victor Fuhrman, offers prayers and blessings for all occasions, as well as providing loving advice on how to lead these blessings and include pets in life's greatest moments. It honors many traditions and is non-religious.

Don't forget that our annual Pet Blessing day will be Sunday, November 2, at 12:00 pm in our outdoor sanctuary. All pets -- furry, scaley, shiny, big and small -- are welcome. Please make sure that your pet is on a leash or is otherwise contained, for our students who are a little shy of pets.
