48 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | NOVEMBER 2020 | Yiddish Culture Club What can we say? This whole year has been one big fat turkey! Everyone will be glad when it's over. However, the delivery of our Rosh Hashanah challah along with apples and honey was a tremendous success. So many of you called, emailed, or sent cards to thank the Board for this special treat that we know it was a great idea and brought a little joy into your life. A big thank you to all the volunteers who delivered the surprise to all our members. We hope you will enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday this month, even if you have to join your family and friends virtually. For our Nov. 11 Zoom meeting, we will celebrate Veterans Day by showing an inspirational short film clip about the reunion of two very special men: Solly Ganor, who endured the worst as a Lithuanian teenager during WWII, and Clarence Matsumura, the Japanese-American soldier from the 552nd Field Artillery Battalion, who rescued him from the Dachau death march in 1945. Solly Ganor's book, Light One Candle, is one of only two books required in German schools. (The other one is Anne Frank's Diary.) You'll get an introduction to Solly and to the accomplishments of the all- Japanese-American 552nd Battalion. Join us for this next general membership Zoom meeting on Wed., Nov. 11 at 7 pm. You'll get an email with the link and if you need help or practice with Zoom, whether it's on a cell phone, computer or tablet, get in touch with Diane Stone. Join us on Zoom to catch up with YCC members you may not have spoken to over the last few months. In October, we showed a film clip about the history of the hit song Bei Mir Bistu du Schon (To Me You're Beautiful) which everyone enjoyed. YCC extends a warm welcome to our newest members and best wishes to members who have had birthdays and anniversaries. Also, get well wishes to those who are recuperating, and sadly, our condolences to members whose loved ones have passed away.
