SUMMARY:UNBOUND: Celebrating Women Writers by Claire Holt

The resulting images are as much about the play and interaction of the creative process as they are about the writers.   Among the participants are Pulitzer Prize winners Margo Jefferson and Stacy Schiff\, bestselling authors Jodi Picoult and Meg Wolitzer\, renowned poets Marie Howe and Rachel Hadas\, and celebrated writers Sigrid Nunez\, Dani Shapiro\, and Ruth Ozeki. \nClaire also works commercially and uses her passion for words\, literacy\, and the arts by partnering with charitable foundations and universities whose focus is on education and access to the arts. \nClaire lives with her family in NYC. \nElizabeth Jacobson was the fifth Poet Laureate of Santa Fe\, New Mexico and an Academy of American Poets 2020 Laureate Fellow. Her third collection of poems\, There are as Many Songs in the World as Branches of Coral\, is forthcoming from Free Verse Editions\, 2024. Her previous book\, Not into the Blossoms and Not into the Air\, won the New Measure Poetry Prize (FVE/Parlor Press\, 2019)\, and the 2019 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award for both New Mexico Poetry and Best New Mexico Book. Elizabeth lived in Miami Beach for ten years and now resides part of the year in Lake Worth Beach.

SUMMARY:Israeli Film Series: Cinema Sabaya
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\nPlease join us for this month’s Israeli Film Series screening of the movie – The LIttle Things –  on Monday\,Please join us for this month’s Israeli Film Series screening of the movie – Cinema Sabaya-  on Monday\, March 12 at 7:30 pm. \nIsrael’s official entry to the Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film and winner of three Israeli Academy Awards (Ophirs) including Best Film and Best Director. Sparked by her own experience in leading film workshops\, director Orit Fouks Rotem delivers an inspirational drama about the power of art to unify and create connections across cultures. Nine women enroll in a course with Rona (played by Dana Ivgy from MJFF 2015 film Zero Motivation)\, a young director hired to teach an introductory filmmaking course. Jewish and Arab\, secular and devout\, these nine women share their personal video footage with their classmates every week. They use their meetings and exercises to reflect on their roles as wives and mothers and pluck up the courage to imagine a different reality for themselves. With each lesson\, they are not only confronted with the stark differences in their circumstances\, but also by their elements of connection. The result is both an illuminating lesson in empathy and a beautiful portrait of women bridging the cultural divide and gathering in sisterhood.

SUMMARY:Lau­ren Belfer - Literary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:RSVP \n“How many lives can you imagine yourself living?”So Hannah Larson wonders. When a close relative falls ill\, Hannah and her young son\, Nicky\, decide to join him for the summer at Ashton Hall\, a historic manor house outside Cambridge\, England. Hannah gave up her academic career to raise her beloved child\, who is neurodivergent and experiences the world differently from others\, and she’s grateful to escape her life in New York City\, where her marriage has been upended by a devastating betrayal. \nSoon after their arrival\, ever-curious Nicky discovers the skeletal remains of a woman in a forgotten\, walled-off wing of the manor\, and Hannah is pulled into an all-consuming quest for answers. Rich with passion\, strength\, and ferocity across the ages\, Ashton Hall is a novel that reveals how the most profound hauntings are within ourselves. \nLau­ren Belfer toured exten­sive­ly for the Jew­ish Book Coun­cil with her nov­el And After the Fire\, which won the Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award. Her debut nov­el\, City of Light\, was a New York Times best­seller. A Fierce Radi­ance was a Wash­ing­ton Post Best Nov­el. Ash­ton Hall was rec­om­mend­ed by The New York Times Book Review. Lau­ren grew up in Buf­fa­lo\, New York\, and lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Chag HaSigd The Festival of Sigd with Israeli Shaliach Yehuda Michael
DESCRIPTION:On Sigd\, Ethiopian Jews pray to God and plead for a return to Zion\, the land of the Torah\, and specifically Jerusalem. The community engages in introspection and reflection – in addition to the individual self-examination of Yom Kippur\, this reflects and focuses on joint communal behavior. \nThere are no written sources about the origins of Ethiopian Jews and the historical time they came to Ethiopia. For the most part\, history has been preserved orally and has been passed down from generation to generation. The journey of Ethiopian Jews through \nSudan is one of the historical\, important\, and special journeys of the Jewish people in general and of the Ethiopian community in particular. It is intertwined with longings for the Land of Zion\, an aspiration to lize an old dream of immigrating to Jerusalem\, to build and understand it\, and to unite with the Jewish people in our country. Most Ethiopian Jews immigrated to Israel in two major operations. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roots Tour: A Siblings Journey From Hatred To Harmony
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n  \nRoots Tour – A Sibling Journey: From Hatred to Harmony\, Directed by Christian Hanna\, Jessica Marriott\, Dr Bluma Sapir \nSynopsis: 70% of all domestic violence reported is from sibling abuse. That’s higher than spousal abuse\, and no one talks about it. My sister and I hated each other our entire lives\, until November 2019. We figured out how to forgive each other\, heal our past pains\, and create a new sisterhood-culture. \nMovie Trailer \nAs adult-siblings\, it’s no longer about who was right or wrong. It’s no longer about accuracy\, because we both contributed to our unhealthy childhood relationship. We were both children then\, but now we are both adults. \nWe decided to do a “roots home tour”” to go back to where our painful moments happened and to create new positive restorative memories…together. We are Sibz United: I am Jessica Marriott\, entrepreneur and innovator\, and my sister is Dr. Bluma Sapir Clinical Psychologist and Couples Therapy expert.

SUMMARY:Aaron Hamburger\, Hotel Cuba - Literary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:RSVP \nAward winning author Aaron Hamburger is our Literary Luncheon guest on Wednesday\, April 10 at 12:30 pm. He will present about his latest novel\, Hotel Cuba. \nFleeing the chaos of World War I and the terror of the Soviet Revolution\, practical\, sensible Pearl Kahn and her lovestruck\, impulsive younger sibling Frieda sail for America to join their sister in New York. But discriminatory new immigration laws bar their entry\, and the young women are turned back at Ellis Island. With few options\, Pearl and Frieda head for Havana\, Cuba\, convinced they will find a way to overcome this setback. \nA heartbreaking\, epic family story\, Hotel Cuba explores the profound courage of two women displaced from their home who strive to create a new future in an enticing and dangerous world far different from anything they have ever known. \nAaron Ham­burg­er is the author of the sto­ry col­lec­tion The View from Stal­in’s Head—which won the Amer­i­can Acad­e­my of Arts and Let­ters’ Rome Prize — and two nov­els\, Faith for Begin­ners and Nir­vana Is Here. His writ­ing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Wash­ing­ton Post\, O\, the Oprah Mag­a­zine\, The For­ward\, and many oth­ers. He lives in Wash­ing­ton\, DC. \n

SUMMARY:College Admissions for the Jewish Soul
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\nJewish students need to feel safe and supported on college campuses. We’ve seen the news\, and navigating the colleges and the college admissions process can be stressful and confusing.  This free seminar hosted by International College Counselors will help parents of Jewish teenage children to understand some of the following: \nWhat’s changed in Jewish college life since October 7? \nWhich colleges reacted “best” and which performed “worst” post-October 7? \nShould my child highlight or hide their Judaism in their college application? \nHow do colleges look at participation in religious activities like Jewish youth groups\, trips to Israel\, and Jewish community service projects? \nIn an essay\, how should my student frame their Jewish activities? \n
