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.

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.

Study materials will be provided via email and Word documents\, in Hebrew letters as well as in transliteration. Learn this hybrid language used by our ancestors\, that has become quite popular today! \n\n\n\nThursdays\, April 11-May 30 (8 weeks) \n\n\n\nInstructor: Norman Buder \n\n\n\nAges: 18+
