SUMMARY:Battles Over the Holocaust: Polish-Jewish Memory Wars\, Featuring Dr. Zachary Mazur 
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of World War II\, Jews and Poles formulated separate histories and memories of their wartime experiences. While Poles claimed that Polish Catholics and Jews suffered equally\, in the Jewish narrative\, Polish antisemitism and indifference were instrumental in making the Holocaust possible. Actions and reactions from both sides have made for a particularly volatile environment. Despite the dangers\, attempts at reconciliation have been made and continue today. This talk will uncover how we have gotten to this point and where we can go from here to resolve one of the thorniest issues in memory politics. Join us for a timely\, thought-provoking presentation and discussion.  \n\n\n\nFee: Complimentary for all.

SUMMARY:Zochrim: Community Commemoration for Yom Ha’Zikaron  
DESCRIPTION:Yom Ha’Zikaron\, Israel’s Memorial Day\, carries a heavier weight this year as we grapple with the loss of countless individuals and the pain felt by their families. It’s a solemn occasion to honor their memory\, acknowledge the grief of those left behind\, and find solace in our collective mourning. We invite the community to join us for a communal commemoration ceremony\, where we can come together to remember the fallen\, express gratitude for their sacrifice\, and seek hope amidst the sorrow. All events happening this evening are a combined effort of many Northern Virginia Jewish organizations. You can choose to come to the Ceremony at the J or join your local watch parties to connect with people in the community nearby (list will be updated below).  \n\n\n\nEvents Schedule: 7:00-8:15 pm – The ceremony at the J will be broadcast to the watch parties. 8:30-9:30 pm – Break out groups for smaller discussions at the J and the hosting congregations.  Following the commemoration\, we will gather in smaller groups for a more intimate gathering\, providing an opportunity to express our pain and unite as a community through “singing in their memory.” This will allow us to honor the fallen by sharing songs written by those who are no longer with us\, fostering connection and remembrance through music.   The Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia initiated this series of events in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington\, Friends of the IDF\, JCRC\, Gesher Jewish Day School\, The Israel Embassy to the United States\, Temple Rodef Shalom\, Congregation Etz Hayim\, Congregation Sha’are Shalom\, and Beth El Hebrew Congregation.   Proudly supported by the Israel Engagement Fund: A JCC Association of North America Program Accelerator and the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs.

SUMMARY:Jimbo Jay: Music\, Humor and Life in the Gaza Envelope
DESCRIPTION:Doors open\, wine\, and light appetizers – 7:30pm \n\n\n\nPerformance – 8pm \n\n\n\nJimbo Jay\, Omar Havron\, is a versatile artist\, blending rap\, singing\, and poetry to capture the essence of Israeli culture. His music has resonated with households across Israel\, reflecting his love for Hebrew\, humor\, and a deep connection to the country\, particularly the Gaza envelope where he resides. Through his artistry\, Jimbo addresses pressing issues with sincerity\, turning them into uplifting and emotionally resonant songs.During the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th\, Jimbo found himself at home with his wife and two daughters. They spent 10 harrowing hours in a bomb shelter before safely escaping the affected area. This traumatic experience deeply impacted Jimbo\, echoing the sentiments felt by the entire nation of Israel. Subsequently\, it infused many of his songs with newfound depth and perspective\, shedding light on the resilience and solidarity of the Israeli people.We are privileged to have him here\, in Northern Virginia\, for a conversation and a performance about his art and himself. \n\n\n\nListen to Jimbo Jay’s music on YouTube here and stream on Spotify here.
