Through this one doctor’s sto­ry\, an era of unfath­omable tragedy is brought down to a tan­gi­ble\, and dev­as­tat­ing\, human scale. \nPhilip Eil is an award-win­ning free­lance jour­nal­ist based in Prov­i­dence\, RI.

SUMMARY:Talia Carner - Literary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:The concluding luncheon for our Barbara Eisenberg Literary Luncheon Series is with best-selling author Talia Carner who will be presenting about her latest historical novel – The Boy With the Star Tattoo on Wednesday\, April 9 at 12:20 pm. \nThis is an epic historical novel of ingenuity and courage\, of love and loss\, spanning postwar France when Israeli agents roamed the countryside to rescue hidden Jewish orphans—to the 1969 daring escape of the Israeli boats of Cherbourg. \nNov­el­ist Talia Carn­er has authored six his­tor­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal sus­pense nov­els that shed light on social indig­ni­ties and unex­plored his­tor­i­cal events. Both The Boy With The Star Tat­too and The Third Daugh­ter were named Final­ists by the Jew­ish Book Coun­cil in the Book Club Cat­e­gories. For­mer­ly the pub­lish­er of Savvy Woman mag­a­zine and a lec­tur­er at inter­na­tion­al women’s eco­nom­ic forums\, Carn­er turned from trail­blaz­ing projects cen­tered on women’s issues to fight­ing for Israel’s image. Born in Israel\, she lives in New York and Florida.

SUMMARY:Margalit Fox - Literary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Best-selling author Margalit Fox will talk about her latest book\, The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum at the JCC’s Literary Luncheon on Wednesday\, April 9 at 12:30 PM. \nTabloid sen­sa­tion Fred­er­ic­ka Man­del­baum head­ed her own crime syn­di­cate in New York City from the 1870s onward\, spe­cial­iz­ing in “fenc­ing” stolen prop­er­ties and financ­ing bank bur­glar­ies. A pen­ni­less immi­grant bare­ly twen­ty years ear­li­er\, Mrs. Man­del­baum enter­tained a var­ied crowd at her din­ing table: politi­cians and police\, upper-class busi­ness lead­ers and their fash­ion­able wives\, and some of her tonier under­world accom­plices. She was a Jew­ish wife and moth­er and report­ed­ly an enthu­si­as­tic mem­ber of her local synagogue.  \nAfter being immersed in Mrs. Mandelbaum’s life and times\, read­ers may decide there’s real­ly no need to explain her suc­cess; she was sim­ply one of a kind. It’s a trib­ute to Fox’s sto­ry­telling tal­ents that this unique and mys­te­ri­ous woman has come to life. \nMar­galit Fox orig­i­nal­ly trained as a cel­list and a lin­guist before pur­su­ing jour­nal­ism. As a senior writer in The New York Times’s Obit­u­ary News Depart­ment\, she wrote the front-page pub­lic send­offs of some of the lead­ing cul­tur­al fig­ures of our age. Win­ner of the William Saroy­an Prize for Lit­er­a­ture and author of four pre­vi­ous books\, The Con­fi­dence Men\, Conan Doyle for the Defense\, The Rid­dle of the Labyrinth\, and Talk­ing Hands\, Fox lives in Man­hat­tan with her husband.

SUMMARY:Visages of Memory - Photography Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of a special exhibition opening\, Visages of Memory and a conversation with photographer and Holocaust survivor Laszlo Selly at the Miami Beach Regional Library on Thursday\, April 17th from 6:00-9:00 pm.  The exhibition is part of the City of Miami Beach’s Culture Crawl evening.  Laszlo will be in conversation at 7:00 pm. \nVisages of Memory\, by Holocaust Survivor Laszlo Selly\, captures the life experience and resilience of the Holocaust Survivors he photographs. Their stories are told through these powerful images. . \nPhotographer Laszlo Selly\, a Holocaust survivor himself\, captured the visages of fellow survivors as seen through his unique lens. \nThe photographs include survivors from Austria\, Czechoslovakia\, Germany\, Hungary\, Poland\, Romania\, and the Soviet Union. Each photograph represents a terrifying story of survival and escape from the Nazis and their eventual migration to the United States. \nThis exhibition is made possible with the support of the University of Miami\, Miami Beach JCC\, and the Holocaust Memorial. \nAbout the Photographer: \nLaszlo Selly and his twin brother were born in Budapest\, Hungary\, on December 31\, 1937\, into a middle-class\, secular Jewish family. When Laszlo was six years old\, he remembered his mother sewing a yellow star onto his outer garments. Desperate to keep their twins safe\, Laszlo’s parents made the difficult decision to send them into hiding. This plan led to danger\, and they returned to their parents. Laszlo’s father obtained a Raoul Wallenberg certificate of protection that allowed the family to move to a safe house. \nAfter liberation by the Soviets\, Laszlo and his twin brother completed their education in Hungary under intense Communist indoctrination. The brothers escaped from Hungary during the 1956 Revolution and made their way to New York where Laszlo became a successful photographer. Today\, he lives with his wife Gail in South Florida and regularly shares his story with students at the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach. \nThe exhibition is part of the Miami Dade Public Library System’s eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War\, a pivotal historical moment that continues to resonate profoundly in our global landscape. The Miami-Dade Public Library System proudly presents World War II at 80 – a year-long series honoring historical milestones. Enlightening panel discussions and presentations\, thought-provoking exhibits and book clubs\, along with other insightful events are planned throughout the year. Discover Miami’s role in this informative chapter of history and its ongoing relevance today. \nVisit https://mdpls.org/WWII to learn more and see the schedule of events.

SUMMARY:FL JCC Virtual Author Event - Karen Fine
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our FL JCC’s Summer Virtual Author Series. \nMonday\, June 9 at 3:30 pm with Karen Fine\, author of The Other Family Doctor. \nA heart­warm­ing mem­oir about one wom­an’s career as a vet and the unique role pets play in our lives. Karen Fine always knew that she want­ed to be a vet and was­n’t going to let any­thing stop her: not her aller­gy to cats\, and not the fact that in the ’80s vet­eri­nary med­i­cine was still a most­ly male pro­fes­sion. Inspired by her grand­fa­ther\, a com­pas­sion­ate doc­tor who paid house calls to all his (human) patients\, Dr. Fine per­se­vered and brought her Oupa’s prin­ci­ples into her own prac­tice\, which empha­sizes the need to under­stand her patients’ sto­ries to pro­vide the best pos­si­ble care. \nWoven into Dr. Fine’s sto­ry are\, of course\, also the sto­ries of her own pets: the birds\, cats\, and dogs who have taught her the most valu­able lessons — how car­ing for the ani­mals in our lives can teach us to bet­ter care for our­selves\, espe­cial­ly when life seems precarious. \nDr. Karen Fine is a holis­tic vet­eri­nar­i­an who is fas­ci­nat­ed by the rela­tion­ships between ani­mals and their peo­ple. She is an asso­ciate vet­eri­nar­i­an at Cen­tral Ani­mal Hos­pi­tal in Leomin­ster\, Mass­a­chu­setts. For twen­ty-five years she owned and oper­at­ed her own house call prac­tice in cen­tral Mass­a­chu­setts. Dr. Fine is cer­ti­fied in vet­eri­nary acupunc­ture through the Inter­na­tion­al Vet­eri­nary Acupunc­ture Soci­ety. A lead­ing expert in the emerg­ing field of vet­eri­nary nar­ra­tive med­i­cine\, she has also authored a text­book called Nar­ra­tive Med­i­cine in Vet­eri­nary Prac­tice. \nTopic: The Other Family Doctor with author Karen Fine \nTime: Jun 9\, 2025 03:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82163520787?pwd=MgtvujVa5DldQje3mDGEcLqPjbYU1Z.1 \nMeeting ID: 821 6352 0787 \nPasscode: VET

SUMMARY:FL JCC Virtual Author Event - Diane Shader Smith
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our FL JCC’s Summer Virtual Author Series. \nMonday\, June 23 at 3:30 pm with Diane Shader Smith\, presenting Diary of a Dying Girl\, by Mallory Smith. \nSalt in My Soul is a tes­ta­ment to love\, deter­mi­na­tion\, and the heal­ing pow­er of mem­oir as med­i­cine. It’s a clas­sic com­ing of age sto­ry about a young woman named Mal­lo­ry fig­ur­ing out how to live ful­ly while dying. In so doing\, she secret­ly doc­u­ment­ed her inner thoughts in her diary while throw­ing her­self at life: friend­ships in ele­men­tary school\, boyfriends and sports teams in high school\, the lit­tle trav­el her dis­ease would allow. She attend­ed col­lege and explored the wider world\, one that was just beyond her grasp. She became a devot­ed envi­ron­men­tal­ist\, see­ing a star­tling and vivid metaphor for her declin­ing health in the destruc­tion of our world. All the while Mal­lo­ry fought. And wrote; about her fears\, her loves\, her pain\, her depres­sion\, her hopes\, and gave voice to the many mil­lions who strug­gle with invis­i­ble or vis­i­ble ill­ness\, turn­ing her pain into pur­pose. In Mallory’s final days\, her father uncov­ered a long-for­got­ten treat­ment that is now chang­ing the world of med­i­cine but\, heart­break­ing­ly\, it came too late to save his daughter. \nMal­lo­ry Smith \nMal­lo­ry Smith was a writer and envi­ron­men­tal jour­nal­ist. A 2014 Phi Beta Kap­pa grad­u­ate of Stan­ford Uni­ver­si­ty\, Mal­lo­ry pro­duced radio doc­u­men­taries for Green Grid Radio and news fea­tures for NPR through KCRW. She played club vol­ley­ball for Stan­ford and was a three-sport var­si­ty ath­lete in high school. Diary of a Dying Girl is adapt­ed from Mallory’s mem­oir\, Salt in My Soul. Before her pass­ing\, Mal­lo­ry launched the social media cam­paign Lunges4Lungs and raised over $5 mil­lion with her par­ents for research. She passed away at the age of twen­ty-five on Novem­ber 15\, 2017\, two months after receiv­ing a dou­ble lung trans­plant. All pro­ceeds from her intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty will go to Mallory’s Lega­cy Fund\, housed at the Cal­i­for­nia Com­mu­ni­ty Foundation. \nTopic: Diary of a Dying Girl by Mallory Smith presented by Diane Shader Smith \nTime: Jun 23\, 2025 03:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82711288665?pwd=yhcYS7oQyyfd4bJohCRDOhDeruvw4z.1 \nMeeting ID: 827 1128 8665 \nPasscode: MALLORY
