SUMMARY:JxJ Best of Fest film screening – “Blind at Heart”
DESCRIPTION:The Pozez JCC\, in partnership with Edlavitch DCJCC\, presents JxJ BEST OF FEST: Monthly Film Screenings at Cinema Arts Theatre in Fairfax. \n“Blind at Heart”\nDir. Barbara Albert | 2024 | Germany/Switzerland | 136 min. \nA magnetic Mala Emde portrays Hélène\, an aspiring doctor who tries to hide her Jewish identity after arriving in Weimar-era Berlin as a young woman. Over the subsequent decades\, Hélène finds her career ambitions and romantic expectations transformed as she begins to witness the frightening rise of Nazism\, ultimately leading her to drastic decisions that will forever change her sense of self and make her question the very idea of personal independence. With an assured sense of dramatic motion\, Barbara Albert adapts Julia Franck’s internationally renowned\, German Book Prize-winning novel\, “Die Mittagsfrau (The Blindness of the Heart)\,” into an exacting moral tale about the difficult choices people make during times of tumult\, spanning the late 1920s to the darkest days of World War II. \nNote: some images may be disturbing; contains a depiction of sexual assault.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Brivele & A Glezele Tey - Klezmer music and Yiddish Folk Songs
DESCRIPTION:Brivele (Yiddish for “little letter” )\, a Seattle-based ensemble who braid together Yiddish song\, anti-fascist and labor balladry\, folk-punk\, and contemporary rabble-rousing in stirring vocal harmony. Like letters\, songs travel — through time and over borders. They pick up dirt\, aromas\, fingerprints. They are sent to lovers\, they foment revolution\, they get stolen and censored\, burned and salvaged\, sewn into our clothes. We journey into the archives of Yiddish anti-fascist musical tradition\, bringing together anti-authoritarian satire\, mournful remembrances\, and the disguised political commentary in folk ditties and theater classics. These songs are a correspondence: our ancestors’ voices speak clearly and uncompromisingly\, sometimes sweetly\, to our present moment. \nA Glezele Tey (Yiddish for “a little glass of tea”)\, a group comprised of acclaimed klezmer musicians and composers Ariel Shapiro\, Rachel Leader\, and Richie Barshay. Come for an intimate concert of klezmer\, Yiddish folk songs\, and tkhines—traditional Ashkenazi prayers centering women\, trans\, and gender non-conforming voices\, set to new melodies. Drawing from archival recordings and contemporary life in the Eastern European Jewish diaspora\, A Glezele Tey’s music is grounded in community\, ritual\, and care—lifting collective voices to move through grief\, inspire action\, and imagine a frayer velt (a freer world).

SUMMARY:Capital J Mainstage: Kathryn Schulz in Conversation with Sarah Wildman
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Kathryn Schulz joins Capital J for a discussion of love\, grief\, and the stories we tell about where we come from.

She is also the author of Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error\, of which Dwight Garner wrote “Ms. Schulz’s book is a funny and philosophical meditation on why error is mostly a humane\, courageous and extremely desirable human trait. She flies high in the intellectual skies\, leaving beautiful sunlit contrails.” In 2016\, Kathryn won a National Magazine Award and a Pulitzer Prize for “The Really Big One\,” an article about seismic risk in the Pacific Northwest\, which was later anthologized in The Best American Science and Nature Writing. Her other essays and reporting have appeared in The Best American Essays\, The Best American Travel Writing\, and The Best American Food Writing. Originally from Ohio\, she now lives with her family on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. \nSarah Wildman is an editor and writer for Opinion at The New York Times.

Prior to joining FP as a deputy editor\, she was the global identities and borders writer at Vox\, a position she originated. Sarah Wildman has lived in and reported from Paris\, Vienna\, Madrid\, Washington\, Jerusalem\, and Berlin. She was a Dart Center Ochberg fellow (a project of the Columbia School of Journalism) in 2015 and the 2014 Barach Non Fiction Writing Fellow at the Wesleyan Writers Conference. Wildman won the 2010 Peter R. Weitz Prize from the German Marshall Fund\, a prize awarded for “excellence and originality” in European coverage\, a 2011 Rockower Award from the American Jewish Press Association for commentary\, and a 2008 Lowell Thomas Award Winner for travel writing.

SUMMARY:HerTorah: All In The Family
DESCRIPTION:There is nothing better… or messier\, or more loving\, or more painful\, or more supportive… than family. \nCome hang out with SVIVAH as we explore some of our foundational biblical conceptions of family\, and how these core relationships impact our own lives and communities. \nHave you ever noticed that the first families we hear of in the Book of Genesis… are an absolute mess??? \nThere is sibling rivalry\, brutal jealousy\, parental favoritism\, estrangement\, deception\, grudge-holding… and so much more. You name it\, and it’s there. \nThese foundational family stories of our ancestors can’t be coincidental. Not a single one of them tell a story of a “picture-perfect family” and yet — these are the family stories that are the bedrock of the Jewish people. \nWhat can we learn from our biblical family tree? \nAnd what lessons can we apply to our own families? How can we navigate different personalities and complicated relationships and lean into good conversations and opportunities for connection? \nCome hang out with us. SVIVAH would love to spend some Thanksgiving-themed time together with you. We’ll laugh a little\, learn a lot\, and come away feeling better all around. Featuring Rabbi Avi Killip\, Caryn Malkus\, MA\, LCMFT\, Rabbanit Dalia Davis\, and more. We’d absolutely love to see you. \nHerTorah: All In The Family — A Very SVIVAH Thanksgiving \nWednesday\, November 19th @ 8:15-9:45pm ET \nCome when you can\, stay till you can’t. But\, come. We have so much to learn from you. \nPlease invite someone you think might want to be with us\, too. \n*As always\, SVIVAH welcomes all those wishing to be included in a circle of Jewish women. If you want to be with us\, we want you with us and welcome. This gathering welcomes learners of all backgrounds. Our diversity is what makes our gatherings richest. Come be with us. We want to learn from you\, too. \nwww.svivah.org/gatherings/hertorah-thanksgiving2025
