TIMELY TOPICS AND TASTY TREATS GROWING UP JEWISH IN THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES

Thursday, October 3 at 1:30 pm
Senior Source, Shops at Riverside, Hackensack.

Marjorie Meyer Goldner, a 5th generation southern belle born in Starkville, Mississippi, will speak about growing up Jewish in the South in the 1940’s, 50’s and early 60’s. Marjorie is the daughter of a liberal newspaper editor and owner, and her family was in the forefront of the Civil Rights movement, deeply involved as leaders of the community.

Marjorie has been a guest lecturer at many venues in Florida and New York. With humor and insight, she will recount what it was like to celebrate holidays, go to school, date and have a Jewish experience in a temple shared by four Mississippi towns and one Alabama village. She is a Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Alabama. Marjorie is a lifetime member of NCJW Palm Beach County section.

You will be entertained and inspired by her experiences.

The cost for members is $5.00; for non-members $10. For further information, contact Barbara Tilliss at barbaralovestoread11@gmail.com or the NCJW BCS office at office@ncjwbcs.org, 201-385-4847.
