Rediscover the beauty and meaning of putting pen to paper. Inspired by Barbara Josselsohn’s The Paper House, this creative writing workshop invites you to slow down, reflect, and explore the power of a handwritten letter. 
In The Paper House,
 Kayla returns to the island home of her Great Aunt Tilly and reopens 
the magical stationery shop where people once wrote letters to those 
they had lost, missed, or needed to forgive. As Kayla reconnects with 
the shop and its history, she discovers that putting words on paper can 
be a way to remember, heal, and find yourself again.
Drawing
 inspiration from the themes of the novel, you’ll be guided through 
thoughtful prompts and creative exercises designed to inspire authentic 
connection. Write a note of gratitude, a message to a loved one, a 
reflection for your future self, or simply rediscover the joy of 
handwritten correspondence.
Each participant will leave with a beautifully handwritten letter, a copy of The Paper House, and a packet of stationery to continue the practice of meaningful letter writing long after the workshop ends.
Tea, coffee, and light snacks will be served.Barbara Josselsohn is a best-selling author of nine historical and contemporary novels, including her newest, The Secret Orphanage,
 a multigenerational story about an American schoolteacher who becomes 
embroiled in the French Resistance and a present-day librarian intent on
 discovering her grandfather’s wartime secrets.
Barbara is a 
member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association and teaches writing 
workshops at the Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, Westport 
Writers Workshop, Scarsdale Library, and privately. She has published 
hundreds of articles and essays in major and regional publications about
 family, home, and relationships.

Emelin Theatre

Jane Monheit brings one of the most admired voices in contemporary jazz to the Great American Songbook. Praised by The New York Times for “a voice of phenomenal beauty,” Monheit has spent more than 25 years building an international career defined by elegance, warmth, and deep musical intelligence.
A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, Monheit first gained national attention when she placed second in the Thelonious Monk Institute’s vocal competition at age 20. By her early twenties, she was recording and performing with jazz greats including Ron Carter and Kenny Barron, launching a career that has since included 13 studio albums, global touring, and appearances at Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, the Village Vanguard, and Birdland.
Known for her luminous interpretations of standards, Brazilian music, and adult contemporary repertoire, Monheit brings a rare balance of technical command and emotional openness to every song. Her collaborators include Terence Blanchard, John Pizzarelli, Christian McBride, Ivan Lins, Vince Mendoza, and Jorge Calandrelli, while her television appearances span Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, CBS Sunday Morning, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, and The View.
For audiences who love the timeless sophistication of the Songbook, Jane Monheit delivers an evening of expressive vocals, impeccable phrasing, and songs performed with the intimacy and polish of a true jazz storyteller.

Zion Memorial Chapel 30 Years Celebration

Zion Memorial Chapel 

Zion Memorial Chapel, Westchester Country’s ONLY, all-Jewish, free standing and independent funeral home, is celebrating its 30th year.  Opened in 1996 under the advice and direction of Rabbi Steven Ziskind, a mentor and friend of Vincent Graziano, Zion was predicated on the belief that the Jewish community deserved better and more options when it came to burying their loved ones.  Zion, with no conglomerate affiliations and no shared facilities, has been able to maintain better than competitive costs over the years.  They remain, in fact, the lowest cost Jewish funeral provider in Westchester County and are proud of such.  Zion Memorial Chapel has created strong bonds with area rabbis who recognized the firm’s unique attention to detail and heightened compassion towards grieving families.  Zion continues to provide Westchester’s Jewish community with what others can not; a large facility not shared with another funeral home, thereby not impeding families who chose to have services and their desired dates and times. The directors and staff of Zion Memorial Chapel have a heightened knowledge and deep respect for the Jewish faith and culture which families witness firsthand.  For more information on the unique features of Zion Memorial Chapel , call 914-381-1809 or visit us at www.zionchapel.com
