 The AACI Star. This is a new initiative by Barbara Roth, an Olah Hadasha, who arrived in Jerusalem July 29, 2009. Barbara was a Special Interests DVD producer in Austin, Texas, and she sparked us with the idea for a Media library and club. We are asking for your DVD donations of any appropriate genres such as action, comedy, drama, documentary, history, sci-fi, special interest and of course, Judaica, to begin our media library. Also, we are looking for volunteers to staff The AACI Star Library. There will be two shifts per week, Sunday 9 am – 12 noon and Thursday 1 – 4 pm.
The AACI Star Library will operate on a donation basis of 5 NIS per DVD for a two-week check-out period for AACI members. We also hope to start The AACI Star Cinema Club, with a special movie screening once a month. Look for upcoming details in your e-newsletters.
We need your help to help us make The AACI Star Library a success! Please either bring in your DVDs or mail them to us at: AACI, P.O.B 4337, Jerusalem 91042.
Please address any questions directly to Barbara at star@aaci.org.il

 A warm, comfortable environment. For women whose husbands have died recently [w/in the past 3 years] and who still have children living at home
The group provides a safe place for members to speak of their experience of having lost a spouse. Women who have recently lost a husband have much to deal with, including: experiencing their own grief, helping their children deal with the grief of having lost their father, and becoming the sole head of the household.
The support given by others who are going through or have gone through the same thing helps the group members feel understood and reduces feelings of loneliness and isolation. Group members become a resource for each other, sharing ideas of what has or has not been helpful to them, and information about benefits and help available. Confidentiality is respected.
Facilitator: Rena Meriash-Levine, M.S.W., a social worker who has close to fifteen years’ experience leading groups.
Tuesdays 3-4 pm
Cost: AACI members NIS 10/ non-members NIS 15

 A new Art Program at AACI beginning October 13Learn valuable skills and benefit from expert insight – all in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.
Starting in October, AACI will host monthly evenings of instruction in some aspect of painting/drawing technique, followed by a critique of individual work and at the end, a general discussion.
You are invited to bring along a drawing or painting for constructive and gentle criticism by a professional artist in an open forum.
Each month we will invite a different professional artist to conduct the evening. In this way we will be able to offer wide points of view on the subjects of painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and photography.
The first of our "Crit Evenings" will be conducted by Yochanan Black, a professional painter and designer. To start the session off, he will give a short talk on composition entitled "Getting down to the basics – putting the elements of a painting together before putting brush to canvas." Then Yochanan will look at your work and suggest ways for you to advance and improve your skills.

His work, “The Laws of Repentance,” summarizes all the laws pertaining to repentance, or Teshuva.
In this lecture, Rabbi Chaim Brovender, the Rosh Yeshiva of WebYeshiva, will be examining Maimonides’ view on repentance. The lecture will also be broadcast live on the webyeshiva.org.

Monday October 25, 2010
 This year, for the first time, we are planning a National tiyul before the ceremony. AACI members from around the country will visit the Neot Kedumim Biblical Landscape Reserve where our theme for the day will be Between Succot and Hanukka in the Heart of the Modi'in Region.We will learn how the cave-studded, mountainous Modi’in region helped Yehudah Maccabee to his ultimate victory over a stronger, well equipped army and we'll understand how the topography of this area played an important role in “delivering the many into the hand of the few”. Next we'll talk about oil, olive oil to be exact: Which areas of the Land of Israel were known as superior for the production of oliveoil,
 and why? After the cleansing of the Temple, why was there difficulty in obtaining a supply of olive oil to light the Menorah? Optional activity: Plant a tree at Neot Kedumim (optional – NIS 40)
A dairy lunch can be ordered through the Neot Kedumim catering service or you can bring your own picnic lunch and enjoy the superb landscape.
Our day will conclude with the ceremony at the AACI Memorial Forest near the Sha’ar HaGai junction between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. (see above)
