Time: 11:00 AM

From Shmear to Eternity: Food as a Door to Your Jewish Genealogy” For more than 2,000 years, Jews have brought culinary traditions with them and also adopted local dishes, modifying them to fit their dietary laws, lifestyle, and tastes. Specific family dishes and even variations of them and their names can reveal much about the country and even city in which Jews lived. Gil Marks will explore this phenomenon from the blatantly Jewish bagel, rugelach, mandelbrot, and stuffed cabbage and kugel to items with less obvious Jewish influences. An author, rabbi, historian, chef, and social worker, Gil Marks is a leading authority on culinary subjects in general and Jewish cuisine in particular. Among his published books are James Beard Award finalist Encyclopedia of Jewish Food (Wiley: 2010), James Beard Award-winning Olive Trees and Honey: A Treasury of Vegetarian Recipes from Jewish Communities Around the World (Wiley 2004), and James Beard Award finalist The World of Jewish Cooking (Simon & Schuster, 1996). Gil was included in the Jewish Forward’s annual “Forward 50,” a list of the fifty most influential Jewish-Americans in the year 2010. In January 2012, Saveur Magazine included Encyclopedia of Jewish Food in its “100 New Classics,” as “an indispensable resource” and noting, “Whatever topic we’re researching, whether it relates to Jewish food or not, we always find what we’re looking for inside.” Sunday June 16, 2013 11:00AM Brunch .00

Time: 6:00 PM

Webinar – “Know Your Brain: Help Your Child Excel” Do you find it challenging at times to focus on a 30-minute lecture? Do you frequently misplace objects such as keys? Are you sensitive to bright lights? Are you good at puzzles? How can these answers help your child succeed in life? Simple Yes or No answers to questions like these can help identify strengths and weaknesses in the nine areas of brain development Eton Academy uses to identify a student’s unique learning profile. Join Pete Pullen, Head of School at Eton Academy a nationally recognized school for students with reading, attention and other learning challenges for an informative and interactive webinar from 6-7 pm on Thursday, June 27, 2013. Learn how the areas of the brain that control Attention, Memory, Ordering, Language, Thinking and Sensory Integration are all part of an individual’s learning profile. While Eton’s approach with students is much more in-depth, the webinar will equip parents with a framework to better understand their own brain and how to best support their child’s unique learning style at school and home, especially if the child is a different learner. Eton educators utilize the best research based teaching strategies worldwide including All Kinds of Minds to engage students and bring out their fullest potential. Pullen graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Chemistry and earned a Mater’s degree in Educational Administration from Michigan State University. Head of School at Eton Academy since 2002, Pullen is pioneering the school’s successful Eton Approach TM, a learning system that combines specialized instruction with 21st century brain research. In the past five years, 94% of Eton’s graduates have advanced to college, compared to 10% of similar students nationwide.
