Etz Hayim Synagogue Presents Beth Hudson

An Amazing Story of Surviving, Thriving and Finding Purpose


June 6, 2024 at 7:00 PM

Beth Hudson will tell her story of Surviving, Thriving, and Finding Purpose, at Etz Hayim Synagogue. Beth Hudson was involved in a near-fatal accident on June 29, 2017. She spent a year hospitalized and then had a left-below-knee amputation two months after arriving home. Hear Beth’s story of how she survived, how she thrived afterward, and how her journey helped her to find a new purpose in life. This is a story of courage, determination, and resilience.  The talk is in person at Etz Hayim Synagogue, 1 ½ Hood Road, Derry, NH 03038.  There is no charge, but donations are encouraged. The presentation is part of Etz Hayim Synagogue’s Adult Continuing Education Program, Hot Topics and Cool Contemporary Stuff.  Please visit www.etzhayim.org/learn/adult-learning for a complete listing of Hot Topics.  For more information, please contact Stephen Soreff, MD, at soreffs15@aol.com or 603-895-6120. 

This cheesy flyer is your invitation to a joyful festival service and surprising program, where we attempt to answer the 4 Questions of Shavuot:

 

  Why on this night do we bite into Dairy Delights?

  How are Hood Road, Hood School, the Hoodcroft Golf Course & Shavuot related?

  What milky recipes convinced Ruth to follow Naomi, leading her to Boaz, years of wedded bliss, and to becoming King David’s Great-Grandmother?

  How would the 10 commoondments change if you added a dairy related word to each one?


What better way to celebrate the giving of the Torah?

You can donate at age 17 with parental permission, and we love first time donors of any age - it is (almost) painless, and what a MITZVAH!QUESTIONS? Contact Beth at ETZHAYIMGIVEBLOOD@GMAIL.COM
