SUMMARY:Art Exhibition Opening - The Art of Letters: Journey into Being
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Schwartz-Jacob Gallery -for the opening reception of “The Art of Letters: Journey into Being\,” on Thursday\, February 27th at 7:30 pm\, featuring the work of artist Igal Fedida. This event is free and open to the community. \nA visionary series by Igal Fedida\, exploring the profound connection between the spiritual\, material\, and transformative power of language. Inspired by the sacred wisdom of letters\, particularly the Hebrew alphabet\, the series views letters as elements of creation\, carriers of divine energy\, and bridges between the finite and infinite. Each piece invites reflection on personal and collective journeys into existence and self-discovery. Crafted with materials like wood\, metals\, resin\, and pigments\, the artworks embody a tactile and layered storytelling approach. These materials symbolize the interplay of physical and spiritual dimensions\, evoking contrasts and harmonies in life. Rich with symbolic imagery—Hebrew letters\, geometric patterns\, organic textures\, and flowing lines—the series expresses themes of unity\, transformation\, and the eternal cycle of being. Through The Art of Letters: Journey into Being\, Fedida offers a profound meditation on communication\, intention\, and the unifying language of art. This collection celebrates the creative process and invites viewers to explore deeper connections between identity\, spirituality\, and the infinite possibilities within letters\, symbols\, and human experience.

SUMMARY:In Conversation With Adam Nimoy - The Most Human
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, March 4\, 2025 at 7:30 PM for an engaging and transformative evening for a conversation with Adam Nimoy\, son of Leonard Nimoy\, on his moving memoir. \nIn his mem­oir\, The Most Human\, Adam Nimoy details his life as the son of one of the most rec­og­niz­able actors of our time. Nimoy\, too\, was caught between two worlds: there was the per­ceived per­fect fam­i­ly of acclaimed actor Leonard Nimoy\, and there was Nimoy’s own real­i­ty of a con­flict­ed home life. While a sim­i­lar mem­oir might be adver­tised as a “tell-all” about a pub­lic fig­ure\, Nimoy takes care to be as fair as pos­si­ble to his father\, the oth­er impor­tant peo­ple in his life\, and him­self. He describes his child­hood dur­ing the era of Star Trek\, his career shifts\, his expe­ri­ence start­ing his own fam­i­ly\, and his recov­ery from addiction. \nA book signing will follow after the event. \nIn the end\, Leonard and Adam Nimoy were able to rec­on­cile in their own ways: Nimoy learned to let go of resent­ment\, and his father made an effort to sup­port his son dur­ing a dif­fi­cult and emo­tion­al time. Fea­tur­ing Jew­ish themes and bib­li­cal allu­sions to the Akedah (Bind­ing of Isaac) and Jon­ah and the Whale\, The Most Human describes the ever-chang­ing nature of par­ent-child rela­tion­ships — both in and out of the spot­light. The book reminds us that our rela­tion­ships are always going to be com­pli­cat­ed\, but that does not negate their sig­nif­i­cance in our lives. It reminds us that\, though we might strug­gle to admit it\, our par­ents are just as human as we are.  \nAdam Nimoy is a grad­u­ate of UC Berke­ley and Loy­ola Law School. He left the prac­tice of law to pur­sue a direct­ing career in net­work tele­vi­sion. He direct­ed the crit­i­cal­ly acclaimed film about his father For the Love of Spock.

SUMMARY:FL JCC Virtual Author Event - Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our virtual FL JCC Author Series with Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove\, For Such a Time as This; On Being Jewish Today. \nThe attack by Hamas on Israel on Octo­ber 7 has drawn a clear and irre­versible demar­ca­tion in time. The Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty woke to an unrec­og­niz­able new real­i­ty on the 7th\, wit­ness­ing first the hor­ror and sheer bru­tal­i­ty of the atroc­i­ties in Israel\, fol­lowed imme­di­ate­ly by the stark and unprece­dent­ed rise in anti­semitism in its after­math. \nKnit­ting togeth­er sto­ry­telling with ancient teach­ings\, Rab­bi Cos­grove helps nav­i­gate the land­scape of this new real­i­ty and under­stand how we got here\, where we are today\, and where we might go from here. For Such a Time as This is a guide for a new gen­er­a­tion that is rec­on­cil­ing the past with the present and fac­ing the unknown future with courage\, spir­it\, and unwa­ver­ing hope. \nRab­bi Elliot J. Cos­grove\, Ph.D.\, is a lead­ing voice in the Con­ser­v­a­tive Jew­ish Move­ment\, and a pre­em­i­nent spir­i­tu­al guide and thought leader. The Rab­bi of Park Avenue Syn­a­gogue since 2008\, he was ordained at the Jew­ish The­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary in 1999 and earned his Ph.D. at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Chica­go Divin­i­ty School.

This styl­ish account\, rich with per­son­al dra­ma and trade secrets\, cap­tures the depart­ment store in all its glitz\, deca­dence\, and fun\, and show­cas­es the women who made that beau­ti­ful­ly curat­ed world go round. \nThis his­to­ry of Amer­i­can fash­ion and the depart­ment store is inex­tri­ca­ble from Jew­ish his­to­ry\, from the Jew­ish immi­grants who worked in New York’s Gar­ment Dis­trict to influ­en­tial design­ers and cre­ators like Hat­tie Carnegie and Lena Him­mel­stein (bet­ter known as the cre­ator of Lane Bryant). These sto­ries are inter­wo­ven through­out Satow’s glit­ter­ing account of a bygone era of inno­va­tion and glamour. \nJulie Satow is an award-winning journalist and the author of The Plaza\, a New York Times Editor’s Choice and NPR Favorite Book of 2019. She is a regular contributor to The New York Times.

SUMMARY:FL JCC Virtual Author Event - Ilan Troen
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our virtual FL JCC Author Series with Ilan Troen\,  Israel/Palestine in World Religions: Whose Promised Land?. \nA lead­ing schol­ar in Israel stud­ies\, S. Ilan Troen has writ­ten an intro­duc­tion to the reli­gious sig­nif­i­cance of Israel\, updat­ed and reded­i­cat­ed in mem­o­ry of the hor­rif­ic events of Octo­ber 7\, 2023. His work reminds us that there are com­pet­ing the­olo­gies defin­ing the con­flict. This com­plex­i­ty is mag­ni­fied by the fact that three faith com­mu­ni­ties\, as opposed to two in oth­er con­test­ed areas like Cyprus\, Ire­land\, and the Indi­an sub­con­ti­nent\, under­stand the Land of Israel to be cen­tral to their iden­ti­ty. Troen\, the found­ing direc­tor of the Israel stud­ies depart­ments at both Ben Guri­on and Bran­deis Uni­ver­si­ty\, sug­gests that reli­gious jus­ti­fi­ca­tions for own­er­ship of the Land of Israel have not dis­ap­peared\, despite the ris­ing sec­u­lar­ism of the mod­ern age. He claims that the sec­u­lar and reli­gious com­po­nents “may be main­tained simul­ta­ne­ous­ly and are often interwoven.” \nS. Ilan Troen is Lopin Pro­fes­sor of Mod­ern His­to­ry\, emer­i­tus at Ben-Guri­on Uni­ver­si­ty of the Negev\, Israel\, Stoll Fam­i­ly Pro­fes­sor in Israel Stud­ies\, emer­i­tus at Bran­deis Uni­ver­si­ty\, USA\, and found­ing direc­tor of the Israel Stud­ies cen­ters at both insti­tu­tions. He is Found­ing Edi­tor of the jour­nal Israel Stud­ies\, and 2023 recip­i­ent of the Asso­ci­a­tion for Israel Stud­ies “Life­time Achieve­ment Award.”

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.

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.
