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.

SUMMARY:Pozez JCC & 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\nDue to recent drastic shortfalls of donations over the last several weeks\, donors 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\nSign up here.
