‘Lunch & Learn’ at CBI

MILLBURN, NJ — Congregation B’nai Israel, 160 Millburn Ave. in Millburn, will hold two “Lunch & Learn” sessions in November. For these events, lunch begins at 12:30 p.m. and the program begins at 1 p.m.

On Thursday, Nov. 9, Hirschhorn speaker Mark Grebenau will present “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Lab.” Genius has been called 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration, but there are those times when something happens quite by accident and leads to a major discovery. Grebenau will give several examples of scientific breakthroughs that happened by mistake.

On Thursday, Nov. 30, view the outstanding film “The Women’s Balcony.” As an Orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem is celebrating the bar mitzvah of one of its members, the women’s balcony collapses. When an ultra-Conservative new rabbi takes charge of the repairs, he incites a gender war in the process. This film is in Hebrew with English subtitles. Don’t miss this thought provoking film.

Admission is charged. RSVP to Lois at 973-533-1809 to order your sandwich.
