The Mother Lode Jewish Community (MLJC) will be holding a seminar, entitled Jewish Ethics: An Exploration of Our Tradition's Values, on Sunday, February 21st.  It will be in the Sonora/Jamestown area beginning at 11 a.m.  Rabbi Andra Greenwald, a member of the MLJC, will lead participants in an exploration of the values that help enrich each of our lives and the world in which we live.  Following a pot-luck lunch at noon, small groups will be organized in which to discuss and explore the values and behaviors found within the Pirkei Avot, the Ethics of Our Fathers, a compendium of Jewish ethics.  There is no charge for this event.

Future events on the MLJC calendar include a Purim Party in the Murphy’s area on Saturday, March 26th and a Passover Seder Dinner in the Sonora area on Saturday, April 23rd, the second night of Passover.  To register for the seminar or for more information about the organization or these future events, call: 209-533-1650, email: motherlodejc@yahoo.com or check out our website at: MotherlodeJewishCommunity.org.
