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.

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.

SUMMARY:Julie Satow - Literary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Best-selling author Julie Satow will talk about her latest book\, When Women Ran 5th Avenue at the JCC’s Literary Luncheon on Wednesday\, March 19 at 12:30 PM. \nIn When Women Ran Fifth Avenue\, award-win­ning jour­nal­ist and author of The Plaza Julie Satow chron­i­cles the rise of the depart­ment store through daz­zling por­traits of three vision­ary women who took great risks\, forg­ing new paths for the women who fol­lowed in their foot­steps. 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.”
