SUMMARY:Let's Talk About It: Navigating Conversations on Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:A new program from the JCC East Bay that centers on teens\, and parents of teens\, to be in community as we learn and grow through diverse discussions.\n______________________________________________________ \nJanuary 28\, 2024 – Navigating Conversations on Antisemitism\nJoin us as we learn about the historical roots of antisemitism and how it shows up in school and online.\nFacilitated by the Anti-Defamation League\, the session will support teens and parents with suggestions and tools for responding to antisemitic incidents and provide space to discuss concerns and experiences within our community and reflect on how we can better support our families and teens. \n  \n\nMarch 3\, 2024 – Understanding Jewish Life on Campus\nWhat can it look like to be Jewish on school campuses? How are academic institutions helping to support and uplift Jewish life? What organizations and resources exist to support Jewish students? Let’s find out by asking our questions to Berkeley Hillel staff and college students and explore together what changes we can make to support Jewish students at every stage. \n  \n\nMay 5 \, 2024 – Remembering the Holocaust | Zikaron B’Salon\nZikaron BaSalon (“Remembrances in the Living Room”) is a special way to commemorate the Holocaust. Taking place annually in thousands of private living rooms and public settings\, it passes the torch from official\, large-scale remembrance ceremonies to conversations and stories told in more intimate\, meaningful gatherings. All are welcome to join this special gathering to hear and honor the Holocaust story of one of our community members. This event will include opportunities to reflect\, ask questions\, and ground our awareness and education about the Holocaust in a warm and supportive community\, with an age-appropriate lens. \nMay the memories of all lost in the Holocaust forever be a blessing.\nזיכרונם לברכה \n______________________________________________________ \n3-session series: $36\n2-session: $25\nSingle-session: $18\n*No cost for existing Midrasha teens/families \n______________________________________________________ \nThis series is presented in partnership by the JCC East Bay\, ADL\, and Berkeley Hillel.  \n\n  \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:LABAlive: Original art inspired by Jewish texts
DESCRIPTION:Join LABA East Bay: A Laboratory for Jewish Culture at the JCC East Bay for a two-part series of art\, performance\, ancient Jewish text teachings\, wine and schmoozing. The works featured in LABAlive come from the 2022 LABA East Bay artist fellows\, and are inspired by their study of the theme of “BROKEN” in our open-minded\, non-dogmatic beit midrash. Come to one–or both! \nPART 2\n1) Filmmaker Sari Gilman shares a sample of her film-in-progress\, which explores the benefits and costs of belonging and her sometimes painfully\, other times beautifully\, fractured nature of her Jewish identity through an examination of her family’s divergent views on Israel.\n2) Choreographer/dancer Risa Jaroslow and two dancers will be performing “shards” of movement that Risa collected during the pandemic\, which\, together\, they have built into new choreography.\n3) Artist Leah Koransky presents a series of two-dimensional artworks which will incorporate light\, shadows\, and glass to explore “brokenness” as a visual language.\n4) Multidisciplinary artist David Israel Katz presents an installation based on the Aleinu\, underlining the elements of befuddlement and breakdown found in this notorious prayer text.\n5) Filmmaker Ken Paul Rosenthal presents a graphic video portrait of poet Julia Vinograd that is constructed from the individual letters of a poem she recites about God and Jerusalem’s broken romance.\n6) LABA scholar Sam Shonkoff will talk about that time the vessels of light containing the universe shattered into a million pieces. \nClick here to purchase tickets. \nClick here to view the line-up for Part 1.
