SUMMARY:J-Talks presents: “The Politzer Saga” with Author Linda Ambrus Broenniman
DESCRIPTION:JCC Outreach Program in Collaboration with Beth El Hebrew Congregation \n\n\n\nA box found among the ashes of a house fire launches Linda Broenniman on a quest to discover the truth behind her family’s biggest secret – that her Catholic father was actually Jewish. Broenniman tells the story of how she pieces together the astonishing history of eight generations of ancestors – the Politzer family – and their remarkable lives almost lost to her father’s buried past. Dating back to 18th century Hungary\, “The Politzer Saga” is a tale of highly accomplished doctors\, entrepreneurs and industrialists\, artists and musicians and art collectors who lived\, suffered\, and prevailed through significant events in the world around them. Today\, a permanent exhibition of the same name resides on the 3rd floor of the Rumbach Synagogue in Budapest! Join Linda Broenniman as she brings each character to life with luminescent clarity in her poignant narrative. Light refreshments will be served. A book sale and signing will take place after the presentation.

SUMMARY:Museum Trip to see “Star Power” at the Portrait Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a trip to the National Portrait Gallery to view the traveling exhibit of Star Power: Photographs from Hollywood’s Golden Age by George Hurrell. \n\n\n\nDuring the 1930s and early 1940s\, George Hurrell (1904–1992) reigned as Hollywood’s preeminent portrait photographer. Hired by the Publicity Department at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) when he was only twenty-five\, Hurrell advanced rapidly to become the studio’s principal portraitist. With a keen eye for artful posing\, innovative lighting effects\, and skillful retouching\, he produced timeless portraits that burnished the luster of many of the “Golden Age’s” greatest stars. Featuring more than 20 vintage photographs\, this exhibition portrays some of Golden Age Hollywood’s most memorable stars at the height of their fame\, including John Barrymore\, Jimmy Durante\, Rosalind Russell\, Spencer Tracy\, Loretta Young and many more.  \n\n\n\nThere will be time to first eat lunch at the Courtyard Café (on own) and to visit the museum’s gift shop after viewing the exhibit. Here is the link to the café menu: https://npg.si.edu/visit/courtyard-cafe. You are welcome to bring your own lunch. We will provide a simple snack and bottled water for the bus ride home. This trip is limited to 30 participants on a first come\, first served basis. Tickets are transferable\, but not refundable \n\n\n\nBus departs from Pozez JCC promptly at 11am and returns at approximately 3:30pm
