This week´s action item is to visit your local library and get yourself a library card. Because books are amazing and reading is fun. And fun is great for your sense of well being.
A library card will allow you to borrow books, music, films, magazines. Your mind will grow and your spirit will soar.
Learning is a lifelong adventure we start as soon as we are born. When we continue learning we stay young and feel a sense of vitality and wonder that is typical of children.
Reading a book is more relaxing than reading off a screen. Listening to music helps you access your emotions. Hearing words and notes within the cavern of your own mind fosters your imagination and creativity.
Libraries are a place where we can share physical objects like books, films, music and tools, as well as ideas and time. Libraries create the connection with our communities that we are all craving.
Get your library card this week.
P.S – If you feel like it, take a photo of yourself with your card in front of your library and share it with us.

Good Films are a Social Action Educational Opportunity
The SF Jewish Film Festival is here and there are some worthwhile films on Israel/Palestine issues. Some offer historical background or a vision of coexistence. Others address the problems Palestinians face in regard to the occupation. None of them affirm the status quo. The Festival’s leadership continues to show courage. All of these films are listed under a heading called “Bridges and Barriers”.
The film screenings are already underway so Ready, Set, Go! see one or some or all of them! The shows remaining are as follows:
