COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS COMMITTEE PRESENTS:
NINA SIMONE
2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Saturday, October 20 | 7:00 pm at Main Line Reform Temple For a documentary film about the life of legendary Nina Simone. Nina Simone was an American singer with an amazing voice, songwriter, pianist from the age of four, and civil rights activist. Nina was also a frequently unhappy woman, a sufferer from manic depression, and while she was involved in the struggle for black civil rights in the United States, she did not allow herself the indulgence of viewing the outcome of that fight with satisfaction. Saturday, March 23 | 6:30 pm at People’s Light Theater Nina Simone: Four Women. This play, framed by Nina Simone's song "Four Women", is a music-filled contemplation on colorism and black womanhood which features popular hits and iconic Civil Rights anthems from the "High Priestess of Soul." This 2017 play imagines a chance encounter between the legendary songstress and a trio of women at the site of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in 1963, the event that shifted Simone's career from artist to activist. Rolling Stone magazine named Nina Simone one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, so please come and join us for these two great opportunities to learn about her life and talent. More details to come. 
DOWNTOWN TORAH ON TAP
Gather downtown with MLRT members and a member of our clergy (and bring a friend!) to dive into the weekly Torah portion. No prior learning or experience is needed — just an open mind and heart as we learn and share together. PLOTS AVAILABLE IN THE MAIN LINE REFORM TEMPLE SECTION AT WEST LAUREL HILL CEMETERY
Cemetery plots are still available for resale to MLRT congregants in the MLRT section of West Laurel Hill Cemetery. The cost of a single grave is $4,500, which is the same as the cemetery charges the public if bought directly, and includes perpetual care. If you purchase through MLRT, $500 of your $4,500 purchase will go to MLRT as a charitable, tax-deductible donation. If you or your family members are interested in purchasing plots, either within the next year or at the time of actual need, please contact MLRT Executive Director, Missy Johnson, for more information or to arrange for selection and purchase.
