Returning after 2 years away, THE BIG JEEP THING is a celebration of the greatest vehicle ever on tires, the Jeep Wrangler. Try to argue it and you lose.

A rock garden challenge awaits and if you’re no mall crawler, take on the challenge of the mud pit! Prizes and trophies, food and drink and so many Jeeps, you can’t stop waving! Sponsored by Wetmore’s Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, this is a great event for the whole family! Register your Jeep in advance and save the hassle of “day of” registration! This event has grown so much over the years and all dollars raised are to help this local non-profit park, Harrybrooke Park! Before you sign up, we’d like to make you aware of a few rules:
Park Rules supersede all others. They are available at HarrybrookePark.org. It is your responsibility to know the rules.
Among these rules is “NO DOGS” and while we all love our four-legged friends, the park’s insurance does not allow dogs on property.
Safety and behavior are ALWAYS at the crew’s discretion. It is not debatable.
Should the park or crew ask you to leave, you may receive a refund only upon request after the event.
Have a good time and enjoy the day remembering we are Jeep people and doing a good thing for a non-profit. Relax and have fun.

God, Sex, and Politics in the Work of Leonard Cohen
2022-09-10 15:00 - 17:00 | JCC in Sherman, 9 Route 39 South, Sherman, CT
God, Sex, and Politics in the Work of Leonard Cohen
For the first time, Marcia Pally traces a consistent theology of covenant in Cohen’s work and in his provocative songs on women and politics, making both his Jewish heritage and his (our) struggles with it transparent. Cohen’s commitment to covenant–and his anger at the God who made us so prone to disregard it–provide the basis for Cohen’s faith, frustration, and sardonic wisdom from his earliest writing to his final theology, You Want It Darker.
Leonard Cohen’s troubled relationship with God is here mapped onto his troubled relationships with sex and politics.
Analyzing Covenantal theology and its place in Cohen’s work, this book is the first to trace a consistent theology across sixty years of Cohen’s writing, drawing on his Jewish heritage and its expression in his lyrics and poems. Cohen’s commitment to covenant, and his anger at this God who made
us so prone to failing it, undergird the faith, frustration, and sardonic taunting of Cohen’s work.
Both his faith and ire are traced through:
• Cohen’s unorthodox use of Jewish and Christian imagery
• His writings about women, politics, and the Holocaust
• His final theology, You Want It Darker, released three weeks before his death
A Conversation with:
NYU Prof. Marcia Pally, New York University / HU Berlin
Rabbi Ari Rosenberg, Rutgers University / Hebrew Union College
Musical performances by:
Bernie Kaplan, Mike Latini, Charlie Stokes, Suzanne Tanner & Chris Vlangas

Prof. Marcia Pally teaches at New York University and held the Mercator Guest Professorship in the theology faculty at Humboldt University-Berlin, where she remains an annual guest professor. She is the author of 14 books. Her book From This Broken Hill I Sing to You: God, Sex, and Politics in the Work of Leonard Cohen was published in 2021. Her most recent book is “White Evangelicals and Right-Wing Populism: How Did We Get Here?
