SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - Jewish Noir II by Ken­neth Wishnia
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nJewish Noir II by Ken­neth Wishnia \nJewish Noir II is unique collection of twenty-three all-new stories (and one reprint) by Jewish and non-Jewish literary and genre writers\, including numerous award-winning authors such as Gabriela Alemán\, Doug Allyn\, Rita Lakin\, Rabbi Ilene Schneider\, E.J. Wagner\, and Kenneth Wishnia\, with a foreword by MWA Grand Master Lawrence Block. The stories explore such issues as the perpetual challenge of confronting resurgent anti-Semitism in the US\, the enduring legacy of regional warfare in the land of Israel since biblical times\, how the “entitled” behavior of certain ultra-Orthodox communities can fuel anti-Semitic attitudes\, Jewish support of the civil rights movement\, greedy Jewish businessmen who reinforce negative ethnic stereotypes\, the excesses of “golden ghetto” American Jews\, the appeal of “tough” Israeli-Jewish soldiers and mercenaries\, how real estate fortunes are made\, and the consequences of political corruption that feed into an exploitive system\, how obsession can lead “good” people to do “bad” things. The stories in this collection include many “teachable moments” about the history of prejudice\, and the contradictions of ethnic identity and assimilation into American society.

SUMMARY:Depolarizing Ourselves – A facilitated workshop from Braver Angels
DESCRIPTION:Depolarizing Ourselves especially for our Jewish community \nA facilitated workshop from Braver Angels (braverangels.org) \nThis workshop is designed to help you lessen the effects of polarization when you encounter them in your political conversations.  By “polarization\,” we don’t mean healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are talking about how we regard and talk about large groups of ordinary people on the other side of our own politics as if they were enemies. This 90 minute group session is customized for our Jewish community.  It is led by a volunteer Braver Angels Facilitator. \nOur goals are that participants will: \n\nBe more aware of their own “inner polarizer”.\nInteract without demonizing\, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population.\n\n  \nPlease Register Here \n  \n\n\nAlso on this date\, please join us in the OZ Social Hall for\nAuthor Talk and Book Signing: Beyond the Politics of Contempt\nhappening from 1pm-2:30pm.
