The JCC in Sherman presents Astrology Basics with Cindy Davis on Tuesday April 26th at 7:30pm
This introductory program will define the meaning and symbolism of the planets, Western signs of the zodiac, and the 12 house placements within a horoscope.
Why is a person born in April with an Aries Sun sign energetic, hot tempered, and insensitive, while a person born in May with a Taurus Sun sign is patient, stubborn, and loyal? This class will explain the reason for these differences.
Emphasis will be focused on developing an understanding of the meaning and function of these components to enable the participants to begin to understand how this cosmic science can be a tool to gain self understanding. Building a foundational understanding encourages an analytic perception of the role of archetypal patterns associated with the 12 planets, 12 zodiac signs, and the 12 house positions within the birth chart.
The class will encourage active participation fostering a fun and dynamic learning experience!

The City without Jews
2022-05-14 15:00 - 17:00 | JCC in Sherman, 9 Route 39 South, Sherman, CT
Join us on Saturday, May 14th at 7PM for The City Without Jews,
Silent Film and Live Music featuring world-renowned musicians Alicia Svigals and Donald Sosin.
Jews are hounded by mobs and driven from Vienna in this 1924 expressionist film based on the
satirical novel by Hugo Bettauer. The sensational film that anticipated the Holocaust and cost
Bettauer his life was rediscovered in 2015. With commentary by film scholar Noah Isenberg (UT
Austin) and a live score. Recently restored and featuring a new soundtrack, The City Without
Jews is one of few surviving Austrian Expressionist films, and the magnum opus of the great
director H.K. Breslauer. Filmed in 1924, it can be seen as a chilling premonition of the
Holocaust—the premise is the political rise of the Christian Social Party, which orders all Jews to
evacuate Austria.
World-renowned musicians Alicia Svigals and Donald Sosin will play their collaborative score
that has brought audiences to their feet at Lincoln Center, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival,
and two dozen other venues in the US and Europe. Svigals co-founded the Klezmatics and has
worked with Itzhak Perlman and the Kronos Quartet. Sosin has performed for silent films all
over the world, from MoMA and BAM to venues in Bologna, Moscow, Shanghai and Bangkok.
Don’t miss this stunning event!

Jim Croce's Greatest Hits : Teddy Goldstein, Rob Stagno & Tom Zovich
2022-06-04 15:00 - 17:00 | JCC in Sherman, 9 Route 39 South, Sherman, CT
Teddy Goldstein performs the Greatest Hits of Jim Croce, along with Rob Stagno on lead guitar and Tom Zovich on bass!
Why Croce?
Growing up in the 70’s, with an older brother and sister, all I heard coming out of their stereos was James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Cats Stevens, Carol King, Carly Simon, CSN and of course, Jim Croce. As a little kid, his stories about truckers, pool hustlers, roller derby queens, and of course Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown were fascinating to me. I also loved his songs about yearning and missing love. But it wasn’t until I began writing songs of my own that I realized just how incredible Jim Croce’s music was. For me the crux of Croce is, saying so much, with so few words. Croce’s songs are packed with wild images, funny stories and larger than life characters, all told in these perfect little 3-4 minute ditty’s. I love having the opportunity to re-tell the songs of Jim Croce.
