Yoga/Meditation with Rabbi Benjamin Shalva

Meet the Rabbi, yogi, and author of Spiritual Cross Training while he shares wisdom on both the body and the soul and helps you better connect with your spiritual self.

12:00 pm
Lunch with Kate Siegel and her Crazy Jewish Mom
Mother, Can You Not?
You may know her better as the gal behind the @CrazyJewishMom Instagram. If not, here's the scoop: Siegel became a social media superstar simply by sharing texts she received from her mother-who, to be blunt-is the Blackhawk/Apache of helicopter moms. In Mother, Can You Not?, she makes two things clear: her mom would go to previously unseen lengths to 'enrich' her daughter's life (parties to celebrate her menstrual cycles?), and that she loves the woman completely. Join this 'insanely funny author' (New York Observer) and her just plain Crazy Jewish Mom, Kim Friedman for lunch and a reading that takes Laugh Out Loud to a whole other level of hilarity.
2:00 pm

Cooking demo with Stanley Ginsberg
The Rye Baker: Classic Breads from Europe and America
That football-shaped, caraway-seed-studded loaf at your local supermarket? That's not rye bread. True rye bread-in the northern/eastern European tradition-is, according to author and baker Stanley Ginsburg, a world of 'flavors, textures, and baking challenges I never imaged existed.' Join us for a tasting, and discussion of The Rye Baker, which takes us on a world tour of marvelous ryes: from orange-infused Swedish Gotland Rye to near-black Westphalian Pumpernickel to Spiced Honey Rye from France's Auvergne to Old Milwaukee Rye.

A 'live planting project' with Jeff Gottesfeld
The Tree in the Courtyard: Looking Through Anne Frank's Window
Bring the children for a reading and event they won't soon forget (as attendees will take part in a live planting project). Outside Anne Frank's window was a 'bare chestnut tree glistening with dew,' as she described it in her diary. In this magically illustrated book-a '...noteworthy and highly recommended introduction to a difficult and significant topic' (School Library Journal)-we learn about Anne from this tree's point of view: it's there when she arrives, when she peeks from the windows, and when her family is taken away.

The Skirball Cultural Center presents the L.A. debut of the 'live documentary' The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller on Thursday, November 10, at 8:00 p.m. In a one-night-only engagement, taking place in an intimate 300-seat venue, the screening will feature Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Sam Green narrating the film in person while the acclaimed indie rock band Yo La Tengo performs their original score. Described by author and Harper's Magazine contributing editor Rebecca Solnit as 'a movie being born as you see it and hear it, as alive as music,' the documentary traces the career of twentieth-century futurist, architect, inventor, and author R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), who experimented for fifty years to find out what a single person can do on behalf of humanity.
Here is the ultimate - unauthorized - parody of The Silence of the Lambs! In the Academy Award-winning film The Silence of the Lambs, rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling matches wits with the brilliant but insane cannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, to catch the serial killer known only as Buffalo Bill. Clarice must face her own demons and race the clock to unlock Lecter's clues before another innocent girl is killed and skinned by Bill. It's a hair-raising thriller that's kept countless millions on the edges of their seats and permeated the pop lexicon with delightfully creepy quotes like "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti" and of course "It places the lotion in the basket."
Ayad Akhtar's Pulitzer Prize winning Disgraced has become a flashpoint of conversation. Critically-acclaimed and Tony-nominated on Broadway, produced around the world, Disgraced is about to spark debate on McCarter's Matthews Stage this October.
