SUMMARY:Toward A More Perfect Union: American Jews and American Democracy
DESCRIPTION:The Third Annual Distinguished Lecture in Judaic Studies at George Mason University with Aaron Dorfman\, Executive Director of A More Perfect Union: The Jewish Partnership for Democracy \n\n\n\nJews have it better in America than anywhere else in the Jewish Diaspora in the last 2\,000 years\, success that’s primarily a function of this country’s long tradition of liberal democracy. America’s democratic norms and institutions — religious freedom\, the rule of law\, freedom of association\, and others — have created an enabling environment in which Jewish life has thrived. But democracy doesn’t take care of itself\, and in moments like this\, when American democracy faces grave threats\, the Jewish community — in all its ideological and denominational diversity — has an enlightened self-interest in protecting and strengthening it.  \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by GMU Judaic Studies Program\, Mason Hillel and The Pozez JCC \n\n\n\nQuestions? Please email judaics@gmu.edu.

SUMMARY:Pozez JCC & American Red Cross Blood Drive
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims\, heart surgery and organ transplant patients\, and those battling cancer. In fact\, every two seconds\, someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is likely that you or someone you know will need a blood transfusion in your lifetime.  \n\n\n\nDue to recent drastic shortfalls of donations over the last several weeks\, donors of all blood types are critically needed\, especially those with type O blood. \n\n\n\nAs a thanks for all donors who come to give blood at our August 7th event\, American Red Cross will send you a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. Plus\, Pozez JCC will get a BONUS $100 Amazon.com Gift Card\, by email when we meet our blood drive goal! It’s a win\, win\, win. \n\n\n\nThe blood donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes about an hour. The donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes on average. In order to qualify for whole blood donation\, you must be in good health and feeling well\, at least 16 years of age (with signed parental consent) and weigh at least 110 lbs. Additional eligibility criteria apply\, including certain medications\, medical conditions\, travel to certain countries\, and personal history.  \n\n\n\nPre-registered participants only. No walk-ins. \n\n\n\nSign up here.
