and Turkey, specifically the synagogues dating from 2nd century BCE to mid 20th century. Her explorations looked at their architecture and their striking differences inside: where can you find couches for seating or a bemah on the back wall or a Torah in a wooden box??? Do you know what Romaniote is?? Brenda's love of history has taken her to faraway places; her talent for writing has produced several books and newspaper columns and successful lectures. How fortunate that she will be sharing some with us!

Did You Know??? Thanksgiving, as in giving thanks, is a very Jewish thing to do. According to tradition, Jews are to

give thanks 100 times each day.

Historians believe that the initial Thanksgiving feast was based upon

our fall thanksgiving festival of Sukkot.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:

Shirley Nabutovsky

Growing up in South Trenton (so-called Jewtown), Shirley, her mom, and dad, Ida and David Nabutovsky, lived with her maternal grandparents, Kate and Sam Bash. Shirley was just 4 years old when her dad passed away.

Her schooling began in the Herzl Zion Day School on Market

Street and she transferred to the Trenton School System after 1st grade and attended Ahavath Israel for Sunday school. After her family moved to Western section of Trenton, at the insistence of her uncle Simon Bash, Shirley was enrolled in Adath Israel’s Hebrew School, and is proud to have remained a member of Adath for the past 56 years.

Shirley’s higher education included Temple University, Rider

College and then Franklin School of Science and Arts from which she graduated. Her degree as a Medical Technical Secretary took her to Mercer Medical Center (now Capital Health) for a 43 year career in their School of Nursing and for last 12 years of her career she also worked as the Part-Time Religious School Administrative Assistant at Adath on Sundays and Evenings.

Now retired, she followed in the footsteps of her paternal

grandmother Yetta Nabutovsky, Yetta’s daughter and son-in-law Sylvia and Ned Lipshutz , her mom and her aunt, Bert Bash Price and joined The Golden Age Club in Spring of 2014. With her special skills and enthusiastic entrance into Golden Age, she has quickly computerized our membership base and taken on the position of Records Specialist. She generously offered to typeset the monthly newsletters, allowing long-time member Florence Lipstein to “retire” from that job.

Currently Shirley is co-chairing our Hanukkah celebration

with Karen Katz, she volunteers at Adath in various capacities, and weekly at Greenwood House’s Greenleaf Gift Shop. With her spare time she likes to read, knit, dine out, go to shows and movies with friends, and play mah jongg.

We are so fortunate to have Shirley in our Golden Age Club!!! New Members Always Welcome!
