Temple Emanu-El invites the community to a weekend of learning at the synagogue's annual Peck Scholar-in-Residence program on March 21 and 22. The Temple is located at 151 McIntosh Road in Sarasota. This year's scholar-in-residence is Dr. Stephen Berk, the Henry and Sally Schaffer professor of Holocaust and Jewish studies at Union College in Schenectady, NY, a news release says. Berk has served as a scholar-in-resi- dence at congregations around the country and on overseas trips to Russia, Spain, the Caribbean, Western and Eastern Europe and Israel, the release notes. "He is acclaimed for this vast knowledge not only of the Holocaust and Judaica but also of Russia, Middle Eastern politics and contemporary American Jewish life," the release adds. Berk will offer two presentations that are free and open to the community. He will join Rabbi Brenner Glickman on the pulpit and speak on My People Are Your People: American Jews and the Struggle for Civil Rights during Shabbat services on Friday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m. He will also offer a lecture on The American Jewish Experience: Are We at Home Here or Not? on Saturday, March 22, at 10 a.m. For more information, call 371-2788. % TEMPLE EMANU-EL TO WELCOME SCHOLAR-IN-RESIDENCE • Gene Burgess and Melonie Burgess, licensed acupuncture physicians • Serving Sarasota since 2008 • Treatment rates are on a sliding scale, from $15-$35; new patients pay a one-time additional fee of $10 AFFORDABLE ACUPUNCTURE FOR EVERYONE 3615 Webber St • Sarasota, FL 34232 (941) 922-4611 SarasotaCommunityAcupuncture.com Open Tuesday through Saturday Our Mission To provide our community with high quality and affordable acupuncture and herbal medicine and to create a treatment space that connects people and builds community.
