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:Kulanu presents Navigating Israel Speaker Series – Defining Zionism: From Herzl to Mamdani
DESCRIPTION:The Kulanu Antisemitism Workgroup of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue presents:\nNavigating Israel: A Social Justice Speaker Series. \nDefining Zionism: From Herzl to Mamdani\nProfessor Adi Livny\, Ph.D.\n \nAdi Livny is a historian of knowledge institutions\, focusing on Israel and Mandatory Palestine. Her book manuscript\, Settlers\, Natives\, and Empire: The Making of the Hebrew University\, offers a revised origin story for the Hebrew University\, established in 1925 in British Mandatory Palestine\, tracing its transformation from a Jewish into an Israeli university. Drawing on materials in German\, Hebrew\, and Arabic from over ten archives in Israel and the United Kingdom\, the book examines how the Hebrew University was shaped during its formative years as a result of the dynamic interactions between its predominantly Jewish-European faculty\, the land’s Arab-Palestinian majority\, and the British Empire. \nLivny’s new project\, A Divide Apart: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict on American Campuses\, examines how American academic spaces emerged as an external front in the Israel-Palestine conflict as early as the 1950s. Her research has been featured in peer-reviewed journals such as Studies in Contemporary Jewry and Armed Forces & Society\, as well as in public platforms like Haaretz. \nLivny earned her Ph.D. in Jewish History from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, where she was a fellow at the Mandel School for Advanced Studies in the Humanities. She currently teaches courses on Zionism\, Contemporary Israel and the Israel-Palestine Conflict. \n— Doors 5:00pm\, Program 5:30-7:00pm. \nPLEASE REGISTER

Before that he was director of the division on antisemitism and extremism at the American Jewish Committee\, where he worked for 25 years. \nHis op-eds have appeared in newpapers and magazines around the world and he frequently appears on national and international television and radio programs. Mr. Stern was the lead drafter of the “working definition” of antisemitism. He is co-chair of the Higher Education/Hate Studies working group of the Eradicate Hate Global Summit\, and serves on the board of the Journal of Hate Studies. \nHis 2020 book\, The Conflict Over the Conflict: The Israel/Palestine Campus Debate (New Jewish Press\, 2020)\, has been called a “must read\,” “thoughtful and provocative\,” a “gift\,” a “rare and uncompromising testament to free expression” and a “blueprint for how to navigate the ‘conflict over the conflict’ on campus.” Its first chapter is entitled “Thinking about Thinking\,” and draws from hate studies to explain how our thinking changes when our identity is tethered to an issue of perceived justice or injustice. \nMost recently (University of Toronto Press\, 2025)\, Stern is the editor of Simply Human: A Guide to Understanding and Combating Hate\, an easy-to-read book in which an international team of hate studies experts join forces\, guiding us to a better understanding of human hatred\, what works to confront it\, what doesn’t\, and why. \n— Doors 5:00pm\, Program 5:30-7:00pm. \nPLEASE REGISTER

SUMMARY:Experience Israeli Dance
DESCRIPTION:Discover the joy of Jewish music\, movement\, and community. \nIsraeli dance is one vibrant expression of the broader tradition of Jewish folk dance. It brings people together through lively music\, shared movement\, and a welcoming community. It is easy to start and difficult to stop! Along the way\, you’ll enjoy an activity that’s great for both your body and your brain. \nWhether you’ve danced for years or are taking your very first steps\, you’ll find a warm\, encouraging community ready to welcome you. \nNo partner or previous experience is needed. New dancers are encouraged to arrive at the beginning of the session\, when we’ll introduce the basic steps before gradually building to more advanced dances throughout the evening. \nJoin hosts Mitch\, Lani\, and Miriam and a friendly group of dancers who gather twice each month in person and weekly on Zoom. \nFree to attend. Optional $5 donation appreciated. \nInterested but can’t make this session? We’d still love to connect with you. Contact us to learn about future dance opportunities and special events.
