Rummikub

 Tuesday, January 6, 2026

 1:30-3:30 PM

(address given when you sign up)

Who: Men and women!

What: Rummikub is a tile-based game where players use strategy to form sets and runs with
numbered tiles and be the first to empty their rack. Players draw and place tiles from their rack onto
the table, either into new "melds" (sets or runs) or by adding to existing melds. The game is a mix of skill,
luck, and quick thinking that can be played by 3 to 4 people at each table.

No previous skills are needed! Debre Weintraub will be there to instruct new players and you'll catch
on in just a few minutes.  It's lots of fun, and I hope you'll join us!

“Get Smart-er”

We have a remarkable and varied amount of talent within our Hazak group! In January we will be
launching a monthly series of talks presented by fellow Hazakians.  We’re planning a wide variety of
engaging topics and you’re bound to return home feeling a bit ‘smart-er’!  
First up, January 20th is Rodef member, Ed Stein.

Tuesday, January 20, 2026

1:00-2:30

Rodef Shalom Library

Ed Stein was the editorial cartoonist for the late, great Rocky Mountain News for 31 years.
For the last 12 of those years he also drew Denver Square, a comic strip about life in Denver.
His editorial cartoons were syndicated to daily newspapers in the U.S. and Canada by United
Features Syndicate and Universal Press Syndicate; the comic strip syndicated under the name 
Freshly Squeezed. In all Ed published more than 10,000 cartoons.

Ed Stein will describe and demonstrate how he conceives and creates a cartoon, about art, history
and politics, drawing on deadline, the changes in our politics and culture — and about how to keep a
sense of humor through it all. Time will be provided for questions and discussion with Ed.
