SUMMARY:WITH PEN AND PISTOL: HEROINES OF THE HOLOCAUST
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Lori Weintrob\nProfessor of History\, Founding Director of the Wagner College Holocaust Center\, Staten Island\, New York  \n“You do not know the extent of my courage\,” wrote Marianne Cohn defiantly after her arrest by the Gestapo for smuggling Jewish children to safety.  \nThousands of women trapped in Nazi-occupied Europe responded to persecution with extraordinary bravery and dignity. Among them were doctors\, nurses\, lawyers\, journalists\, educators\, artists and resistance fighters who risked their lives to save themselves and others. \nThis program highlights the courageous choices and powerful voices of Jewish and non-Jewish women who used pen and pistol in the fight against Nazi tyranny. \nThrough stories of rescue\, armed resistance\, and moral courage\, we will encounter remarkable women—including Zivia Lubetkin\, Vitka Kempner-Kovner\, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis\, Hadassah Rosensaft\, and Josephine Baker—whose actions continue to inspire us and whose legacies remind us of our responsibility to confront antisemitism\, hatred\, and injustice.

SUMMARY:MORDECAI KAPLAN’S RECONSTRUCTIONIST VISION: WHAT PANNED OUT? WHAT FELL SHORT?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rabbi Dr. Bradley Shavit Artson\nAmerican Jewish University Goldstine Distinguished Scholar  \nMordecai Kaplan rocked the Jewish world in 1934 with his brilliant\, revolutionary Judaism as a Civilization\, a comprehensive analysis of what ailed American Jewish life and a series of prescriptions to fix it. Embracing every aspect of Jewish life: faith\, ritual\, philosophy\, language\, peoplehood\, ethics\, there were no topics his great mind didn’t confront. A fearless visionary\, his bold proposals created a generational agenda for change\, revision\, innovation\, all for the sake of translating Jewish insight into the idiom and science of modernity.  \nIt was his expectation that Jews of all stripes would flock to this progressive reconstruction\, each in their own way. What happened along the way? How did he succeed in changing American Jewish life forever? And how did his insights miss important emotional\, religious\, and social realities that limited the spread of his ideas? \nJoin us to explore the enduring legacy of Mordecai Kaplan and discover how his ideas continue to shape Jewish life today.
