SUMMARY:Adam Ehrlich Sachs\, 'Made Local' Author Presented by Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures
DESCRIPTION:title: Adam Ehrlich Sachs\, Made Local Author Presented by Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures\ndescription: The Organs of Sense is an intricate nested fable equating our inability to truly understand the world with our inability to understand our own messy families. \nIn 1666\, an astronomer makes a prediction shared by no one else in the world: At the stroke of noon on June 30 of that year\, a solar eclipse will cast all of Europe into total darkness for four seconds. This astronomer is rumored to be using the largest telescope ever built\, but he is also known to be blind?both his eyes have been plucked out under mysterious circumstances. Is he mad? Or does he\, despite this impairment\, have an insight denied the other scholars of his day? \nAdam Ehrlich Sachs is the author of the collection Inherited Disorders: Stories\, Parables\, and Problems\, which was a semifinalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor and a finalist for the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. His work has appeared in The New Yorker\, Harper’s Magazine\, and n+1\, among other publications\, and he was named a 2018 National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellow. He has a degree in the history of science from Harvard\, where he was a member of The Harvard Lampoon. \nTo register: https://pittsburghlectures.org/lectures/adam-ehrlich-sachs/\nstart-date: 2019-05-30\nstart time: 06:00 PM\nend date:\nend time:\nall-day event:\nrecurring event: No\nevent address: South Wing Reading Room\, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh\, Main (2nd Floor)\n4400 Forbes Avenue\nPittsburgh\, PA 15213\nevent organizer: Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures\nevent website: https://pittsburghlectures.org/lectures/adam-ehrlich-sachs/\nevent cost: Free\, with registration

SUMMARY:Charlene “Kandy” Ehrenwerth Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Zionist Organization of America: Pittsburgh will hold the Charlene “Kandy” Ehrenwerth Memorial Lecture on Monday\, May 13\, 2019. Kandy was a prominent Pittsburgh trial lawyer known for her aggressive protection of human and civil rights. Kandy\, a long-time ZOA member\, was an active leader in the Jewish and broader civic communities. She was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 1992. \nThe lecture will be in the Eisner Commons at Congregation Beth Shalom\, 5915 Beacon Street\, and will begin at 7 PM. The Ehrenwerth Lecture is hosted by ZOA through an endowment set up by her loving family to perpetuate her memory. There is no charge to attend\, but reservations are requested and can be made at pittsburgh@zoa.org or 412-665-4630. \nJonathan Weinkle\, MD is the author of the book Healing People\, Not Patients: Creating Authentic Relationships in Modern Healthcare (in which he takes the core Jewish ideal that humans are created in G-d’s image and maps out the nuts and bolts of a healing relationship) and guest speaker. His focus will be from where does the ideal of Jewish healing emanate\, and what does it look like in practice? How can it be put to work even in our fragmented\, dehumanizing medical system of today? Could conducting our healing encounters this way change how we relate to others in the rest of our daily lives?
