SUMMARY:Laura H. Kahn\, Author "One Health and the Politics of COVID-19"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Pozez JCC’s Distinguished Speaker Series and J-Talks \n\n\n\nFeaturing Dr. Laura H. Kahn\, physician\, policy researcher\, educator\, and author; interviewed by Pozez JCC member Jane Holmquist. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation about the politics of COVID-19 as Dr. Kahn unpacks the mysteries of its origins to impart important lessons for future outbreaks. In her timely book\, leading public health expert Laura H. Kahn uses the comprehensive “One Health” approach\, which recognizes the interconnected links among the health of humans\, animals\, plants\, and the environment\, to investigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Kahn explores how the wild animal trade\, wet markets\, and camel industry contributed to the spread of earlier coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-1 and MERS. The book also explores the biosafety\, biosecurity\, and bioethics implications of gain-of-function research on pandemic potential pathogens. Dr. Kahn will help us better understand the history\, science\, and geopolitics of the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be time for a Q&A\, book sale\, and signing.

SUMMARY:"Make A Circle" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:A film by Jen Bradwell and Todd Boekelheide. Presented by Pozez JCC’s ECLC and the NVAEYC\, an affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). \n\n\n\n6:30pm: Doors open7:00pm: Film ScreeningDuring NAEYC’s Week of the Young Child\, April 5-11\, 2025\, NVAEYC and Pozez JCC’s ECLC will co-sponsor MAKE A CIRCLE\, a film that confronts a broken child care system where\, “Parents can’t afford to pay\, and teachers can’t afford to stay.” \n\n\n\nThe film captures the unfolding stories of Patricia\, a leader of a new childcare union\, as she advocates on behalf of a largely immigrant workforce. Charlotte\, who tirelessly lifts up the low-income families in her care; and Anne\, the director of a large preschool\, who finds novel ways to support her teachers when jobs at McDonald’s are offering higher pay. \n\n\n\nWeaving together the magic they create in the classroom\, the struggles they endure at home\, and their tireless activism for their profession\, MAKE A CIRCLE is a moving portrait of life as an Early Childhood Educator and a promising blueprint for change.

SUMMARY:JxJ Presents: Bad Shabbos
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Robbins’ entertaining\, fast-paced comedy about a Sabbath dinner gone terribly awry won the top audience prize at the Tribeca Festival. While this dysfunctional Jewish family tries to balance the polarities of secular and religious lives\, along with the dilemma of a dead body in the bathroom\, Robbins and his longtime co-writer Zack Weiner up the comedy ante by stirring in an inter-faith culture clash and an overly intrepid doorman. \n\n\n\nAbout JxJ: Presented by the Edlavitch DCJCC\, JxJ encompasses the Washington Jewish Film and Music Festivals\, alongside a year-round film and music program. JxJ gives exposure to independent filmmakers and musical artists working in the Jewish and/or Israeli space. Each spring\, the annual Festival is held on stages and screens throughout DC\, Virginia\, and Maryland. \n\n\n\nThe Pozez JCC is proud to bring these cultural films to Northern Virginia through its partnership with Edlavitch DCJCC.
