3. If you’re a female job seeker, look no further than Westchester Jewish Community Services for free, non-sectarian workshops on how to mine productivity and purpose out of your everyday life. Today’s session, entitled “Ask the Recruiter,” runs from 9:30-11 a.m. at the Rosenthal Jewish Community Center of Northern Westchester. Register for today’s seminar or future workshop opportunities by contacting WHW Project Director Lenore Rosenbaum at (914) 761-0600, X308.

4. Glass houses may not be safe from stones, but they do make for stunning architecture… if we’re talking about Philip Johnson’s famed minimalist New Canaan residence, of course. Today, the Scarsdale Adult School will be hosting the tour and lecture series “Don’t Throw Stones at Glass Houses: A Survey of Contemporary Residential Architecture and Philip Johnson Glass House Tour. Unfortunately, today’s tour led by architect Brent Stringfellow – featuring a guided walk through the Glass House, the Painting Gallery, Sculpture Gallery and a structure called Da Monsta— is sold out. Luckily for you, however, another tour will be offered on Friday, June 3 at 12 p.m. For more information, visit the Scarsdale Adult School’s website or call (914) 723-2325.
