J-Sei’s Virtual Harvest Day
J-Sei’s Virtual Harvest Day Program
Friday, November 20th, 1 pm
This harvest season, we are grateful for the cultivation of the land and the ties we have to the earth from our past to our present. We are grateful for the bounty and the many helping hands that nurture the food that we prepare and serve for our J-Sei seniors. This year, despite all that we’ve endured with the COVID pandemic, we are especially thankful for the supportive community we are at J-Sei.
Join us for an afternoon to see the many faces of J-Sei classes, the volunteer kitchen crew, and hear personal reflections from Leslie Tsukamoto, Joyce Nakamura, and Pat Yamamoto, and special songs prepared by the J-Sei choir directed by Emiko Katsumoto and Carol Newberger.
Enjoy an easing of the soul with a meditative photo slideshow by Alan Maeda and soothing sounds by special guest, jazz guitarist Hideo Date.
J-Sei At the Movies: A Japanese Movie Watch Party
Japanese Movie WATCH PARTY
Saturday, November 14th, 6:30 pm
Please join us this Saturday, November 14, at 6:30pm, for a JAPANESE MOVIE WATCH PARTY! We will watch a Japanese film via livestream, and we can comment in real time on the film in Chat while viewing, as well as have a short discussion afterward. We have not selected the film, but it will be Japanese (in Japanese with English subtitles), probably about an hour long, and it will transport us to a place where presidential elections are not of concern. And we can engage in a bit of armchair tourism. How does that sound?
If you’d like to participate, please RSVP by email to Jill (jill@j-sei.org) with “J-FILM WATCH PARTY” in your subject line. We’ll send you a Zoom link before Saturday.
