SUMMARY: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\nDonors of all blood types are critically needed\, especially those with type O blood. \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. Blood drive will be located in the auditorium. \n\n\n\nPlease call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or click here to schedule an appointment.

SUMMARY:Double Take Israel: Belonging & Home
DESCRIPTION:Attend one or both film screenings and discussions! \n\n\n\nPart 1: Movie: “Operation Grandma” (97 minutes)Wednesday\, August 26\, 12:00 PM-2:30 PM \n\n\n\nPart 2: Movie: “In Between”Wednesday\, September 16\, 12:00 PM- 3:30 PM \n\n\n\nHow does the place we come from shape who we are? What happens when the community we grew up in begins to change? And how do different ways of living in Israel shape identity\, family\, belonging\, and freedom? \n\n\n\nJoin us for a new Double Take Israel series exploring belonging in Israeli society through two iconic Israeli films and meaningful conversations before each screening. \n\n\n\nOur first screening will feature “Operation Grandma” (97 minutes)\, a hilarious Israeli cult classic following three very different brothers racing against time to fulfill their grandmother’s last wish – to be buried in the kibbutz cemetery. Chaos\, military culture\, family dynamics\, absurd bureaucracy\, and classic Israeli improvisation collide in one unforgettable story. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we’ll explore:-The kibbutz as the great Israeli dream-What happened to kibbutzim after the 1990s-How those changes shaped the children who grew up there-Why this film became such an iconic reflection of Israeli culture \n\n\n\nFree admission. RSVP required. We hope that you will support the Shlichut program and Israel engagement programs here.
