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\nDonors 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.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Identity: French Opera and Jewish Life
DESCRIPTION:In Collaboration with Canto Vocal ProgramsFeaturing Maurice Lugassy\, professor of French culture and Canto Vocal artistsWhat can opera tell us about identity\, exile\, and belonging?Join Maurice Lugassy for a thought-provoking musical lecture that explores how Jewish stories\, composers\, and themes found a place on the grand stage of French opera.From the powerful drama of Halévy’s La Juive\, an opera of love\, faith\, and persecution\, to subtle threads of Jewish identity woven into the works of Bizet\, Saint-Saëns\, and others\, this journey uncovers how opera became a space to express both cultural pride and profound struggle.Blending history\, storytelling\, and live musical excerpts\, this lecture reveals how Jewish life shaped\, and was shaped by\, the world of French opera. Whether through bold characters\, coded messages\, or the complex lives of composers\, Jewish voices echoed through the opera houses of France — sometimes in harmony\, sometimes in conflict.The presentation will conclude with an open Q&A session. Ages 18+Fee: $15 Members; $20 Non-members (includes dessert)

SUMMARY:J-Talk: “K for Kosher” with Author Wesley Seidner
DESCRIPTION:Wesley Seidner is a high school student who has loved baseball his entire life. With a grandfather who survived the Holocaust\, he was always aware of his Jewish heritage but never showed much interest. Wesley started writing this manuscript just after his bar mitzvah in 8th grade and it is his first book. \n\n\n\n“This is not just a collection of stories about great Jewish athletes; it’s also the story of my journey into Judaism over the past two years\, explored through my unique passion for baseball and its Jewish players. From interviews with players to rooting for Team Israel to playing baseball in Israel\, this is my story.” \n\n\n\nJoin Wesley as he shares his enthusiasm for America’s favorite pastime and the Jewish players here and abroad who make it great. \n\n\n\nLight refreshments will be served. 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. Through meticulous investigation\, the film also uncovers how over decades\, Hamas created sophisticated networks in America to permeate U.S. institutions and examines the tsunami of online antisemitism\, propaganda\, and disinformation unleashed by Iran\, China and Russia – with the sole purpose of dividing American society. \n\n\n\nFee: The event is free. RSVP required. Recommended donation is $18. Make a Donation
