Hispanic Heritage Month: Author's Talk with Gabriela Riveros Elizondo (virtual)
Friday, September 29, 2023 • 14 Tishrei 5784
12:00 PM - 1:00 PMZoomJoin Mexican novelist Gabriela Riveros Elizondo for a discussion of her 2022 historical novel, Olvidarás el Fuego (You'll forget the fire). Elizondo will speak about her 2022 novel Olvidarás el Fuego (You'll forget the fire), which was inspired by the memoirs of Joseph Lumbroso (né Luis de Carvajal). Lumbroso was a poet, statesman, and one of the first Hispanic settlers of Northern Mexico. Moreover, he and his family were crypto-Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, but who remained in Spanish territory on the American continent while practicing Judaism in secret. Lumbroso and his family were eventually caught by the Inquisition in a political struggle over the Nuevo Reino de León (roughly Northeastern Mexico). Lumbroso was charged with being a "judaizante relapso pertinaz" (being a perpetual, relapsed Judaizer) and burned at the stake - along with members of his family - in 1596. He left behind him memoirs, letters, and a spiritual testament which together comprise the only surviving Jewish writings of the Spanish colonial period.

The Magic Eye: Healing, Spirit, and Community: A reading and discussion with Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg (Hybrid)
Sunday, Nov 16th 4:00p to 5:30p
The Magic Eye: A Story of Saving a Life & a Place in the Age of Anxiety focuses on the healing power of place and community in unfolding Caryn’s journey through a rare and dangerous eye cancer intertwined with Ken and Caryn finding a way to save the family land where they live after 35 years of effort. This memoir speaks to being part of an eco-community, human community, and especially the Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, which Caryn will read and speak about, highlighting how her story, like many of ours, is also a spiritual excursion into finding new ways to see the world and belong to a community. -
