Enjoy a delicious meal while expanding your knowledge and connecting with the community. Each session offers fresh insights and lively discussions. Don’t miss this enriching lunchtime experience! This February\, we’ll be joined by Doug Coats. \nAvenues are supposed to run neatly side by side—so why do some of Calgary’s intersect? Why is Tomkins Square a triangle? And why does your GPS insist you “turn onto Anderson Road South West East”? \nAt our February Hazak Lunch & Learn\, Doug Coats will unravel the curious\, confusing\, and surprisingly fascinating stories behind Calgary’s road system. With a historian’s eye and a storyteller’s touch\, Doug will take us on a journey through the city’s planning puzzles\, oddities\, and enduring urban myths. Come for the lunch\, stay for the “aha!” moments—and you may never look at Calgary streets the same way again. \nAbout the Speaker: Doug Coats \nDoug Coats is a proud native Calgarian with a lifelong passion for the city’s history. He holds degrees in History and Education from the University of Calgary and spent 33 years teaching junior high social studies at Woodman School\, where he delighted generations of students with his love of stories and learning. \nAfter his first retirement\, Doug launched a second career at Heritage Park\, working full-time for nine years as a storyteller\, program writer\, and tour guide. Now happily retired again\, Doug devotes his time to exploring Calgary history and indulging his love of model railroading—two hobbies that pair perfectly with a deep curiosity about how cities\, and their streets\, come to be. \n\n \n \n Hazak Lunch & Learn\n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n PhoneWhich session are you registering for?Thursday\, May 7 — Sahbra Anna MarkusWe're always looking for new speakers who want to teach us about their work or passions.

Within its pages you’ll find Jewish ethics\, ancient customs\, legends\, and even mystical calculations about the beginning and the end of time. Traditionally attributed to Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus\, a 2nd-century sage\, the text was likely compiled in the eighth or ninth century. \nJoin Rabbi Russ for a fascinating journey through this remarkable work—a tapestry of storytelling\, interpretation\, and spiritual imagination. Together\, we’ll explore how Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer reshapes familiar biblical narratives\, connects them to enduring Jewish values\, and invites us to see Torah through a lens of creativity and wonder. \nEach session will combine close reading with lively discussion\, making the class accessible to both newcomers and seasoned learners. \nCome discover why Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer has captivated readers for centuries—and how its timeless insights continue to inspire and challenge us today. \nRegistration not required\, but appreciated. \n\n \n \n Seudah Shelishit Registration Form\n Please use this form to register for the entire course. \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n PhoneHow many attendees would you like to register?
