A book sale and signing will take place after the presentation. Ages 13+ \n\n\n\nIn Partnership with Pozez JCC’s J-Men’s Group \n\n\n\nFee: $0 JCC Members/$15 Non-Members

SUMMARY:Film Screening "October 8th" & Unpacking It Together
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event will close at 5:30pm on Monday\, June 16. Walk ins will not be permitted.  \n\n\n\nJoin us for a screening of the film “October 8th” which explores the impact in the U.S. of the terrorist events in Israel on October 7\, 2023. Following the screening\, there will be an opportunity to join discussion circles focused on different aspects of that impact in our own community and exploring possible responses. \n\n\n\nDiscussion topics include:• How to have difficult conversations with our friends\, colleagues and neighbors about October 7th and beyond?• How can we support our students? Stories from Northern Virginia students• What can each of us do from a legislative standpoint to help with the current crisis? \n\n\n\nIf you’re interested in seeing the movie\, looking for answers to any of these questions\, or both\, please join us! \n\n\n\n“October 8th” offers a look at the explosion of antisemitism on college campuses\, social media and in the streets of America beginning the day after the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas.

SUMMARY:Ruth's Wisdom: Blueprint for Women's Leadership
DESCRIPTION:After the success of Esther’s Wisdom event for Purim\, we invite you to celebrate Shavuot with a women’s evening of connection\, reflection\, and inspiration. Through the story of Ruth\, discussion and reflection event moderators Priscilla Askenas (Leadership Coach) and Zina Segal (Pozez JCC Sr. Director\, Community Impact and Engagement) will delve into what it means to truly belong: to each other\, to tradition\, and to ourselves. Together\, we’ll also uncover how Ruth’s journey can inspire us to cultivate our own leadership as women in our communities and beyond. Special Shavout desserts and wine are included.Fee: $18 Member/$25 Nonmember \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bios:Priscilla Askenas is an international law\, governance\, and foreign policy expert. She played a pivotal role in identifying workable solutions to counter violent extremism\, strengthening governance and safety of Women in Africa. \n\n\n\nPriscilla believes that the key to making empowered decisions is to align our values and goals to how we “show up.” It’s what makes us better leaders\, better parents\, better partners and enables us to operate at the fullest of our potential. Priscilla worked at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in The Hague\, in the support of the trial against Charles Taylor. She acted as a Strategic Advisor to investors in emerging markets in Africa. She holds an BA from McGill University\, an MSc. in Development and Planning from University College London\, and a Law degree from the University of London (College of Law\, Guildford). \n\n\n\nPriscilla is a businesswoman\, mother\, wife\, board member and champion of Women’s empowerment. She is a certified professional coach (CPC ELI-MP) with a focus on female leaders\, and a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF). \n\n\n\nZina Segal\, Pozez JCC Sr. Director of Community Impact and Engagement\, is inspired by the J’s goal of creating multiple gates to Jewish Peoplehood for people of all kinds of identities. She holds an MA in Digital Humanities from SPb State University and an MA in Leadership in Jewish Education and Communal Service from Towson University.As a life-long learner and Jewish educator\, Zina believes in the magic of learning Jewish text together. When a group of curious minds come together (with food and wine) to explore Jewish stories – phenomenal things happen: we meet ourselves\, others and Jewish heroes of the past and come up with incredible insights about our present and future!
