A note from community member, Jeff Rice:

As part of the Scott County year-long celebration of Jewish culture, I will be telling a story on Sunday July 12 at the library entitled: “It Was Like Fiddler on the Roof.” The story is about my family’s immigration to America, my immigration to Israel, immigration in general. If you ever heard me tell one of my stories at the Maggid, you know you will laugh, you will cry, you will want snacks, you will wonder who I am, you will ask yourself if this is your large automobile or your beautiful house and how you got here. And you will have the most amazing time of your life! They said there could never be such an amazing time! 2 pm Scott County Library. Y'all come out now, you hear?

Scott County Library, Sunday, July 12 at 2 pm. Be there!

Come sing with us!! We'll be on the patio. See you Friday at 7pm.

Big news!
