I have openings for two more members in the new Women's Legal Puzzler Group, Legal Divas.
They meet the second Monday of the month at 10:00a.m. and go to lunch afterwards. Their next meeting is Monday, May 13.
Also, a Men's Current Events group will be forming with Paul Fisher as its leader. There will be an organizational
meeting in a few weeks and we need a few more good men!
There are also 7 couples on a wait list for a Current Events Group. Sounds interesting!

Existing group goes in a new direction
The current Jewish Group "Red Tenters" which meets on the 1st Wednesday of the month from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm
will be refocusing in a new direction of Ethics, Values and Jewish Insights beginning May 2019.
We will be discussing current issues such as:
Sexuality and Women's Rights
while using excerpts from the Talmud & Torah and showing how they are relevant to today's issues.
If you are interested, please contact the leader of the group, Judy Rosenberg 805-499-0176
or coordinator of the group, Jessie Pearlman 805-499-1320.
Contact us if this or any other on the Study Group list interests you.
Also check out the web site on regular bases to see more of what is available.
and do not forget to RSVP.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also feel that there are a few groups that really need defining:
"On the Town" groups go someplace exciting and interesting every month.
That includes educational, recreational, dining, crafts, and charity excursions.
"Pot Pourri" groups are a combination of events. They include trips to places
you will enjoy and discussion and demonstrations of interest.
"Life and Times" groups" discuss first a "woman of history" and then a topic
of interest. These can range from what a first aid kit should include to an era in history.
"Lunch & Learn" group members enjoy a great lunch and a lecture from a person
of interest arranged by the group's members.
Remember, if you have a question about any Study Group, contact the appropriate V.P.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just a quick reminder. All those checks you are making out for Study Groups, don't forget to make them out to:
"Brandeis University".
And, by the way, don't forget to renew your membership by either mailing in your check to National or online
at giving.brandeis.edu/bncrenew

LEGAL EYES STUDY GROUP
Legal Eyes is a new legal puzzler group.
We are eleven women who enjoy studying legal cases,
past and present. Our energetic discussions include debating about our judicial system, the
philosophy of the law, and the frustrations inherent in trying to separate legalities from "fairness/justice."
We are learning quite a bit about the law as well as what it takes to come to fair and just decisions.

LEGAL EAGLES STUDY GROUP
Are you Puzzled about what Legal Puzzlers Study Groups are all about?
Our group has been in existence for over ten years, meeting each month at a different member's home.
The hostess is responsible for providing the topic for discussion.
Our format is constantly changing with the times. We may debate legal issues regarding the
current government policies, discuss a supreme court case, watch a movie pertaining to a legal issue,
or have a guest speaker. We become the best of what a jury should be.

Co Leaders

Life and Times:
A Study Group to Pique Your Interest!
|
Life and Times
Life & Times is a great group of women who meet to discuss both notable women in history and topics of interest to all of us.
Each month the person who is hosting the meeting does a short bio on a woman she admires,
followed by a report on a topic of interest to her. Past topics have included women inventors,
art history, women poets, stroke awareness, recycling, heart health, and Jews in China.
Our presentations are followed by lively discussions. We avoid political and personal topics.
For more information please contact our leader,
Sharon Cohen,
