Raising a Mensch class with Slovie

Dear Friends,

We are living in incredible times. And I know that it is easy to feel overwhelmed with it all.

There is a sense that our families are vulnerable as we raise children and sustain relationships while the world around us seems out of control.

We want to hold onto all that is precious; our marriages, our relationships, our children.

Is there anything we can do to make our homes feel more secure? Can we maintain peace and tranquility?

Of course we can.

This year, more than any year before, is the time to make studying your priority.

This year, be the best that you can be. Tap into your roots. Explore the miracle that lies within the soul.

I look forward to greeting you personally. Together we will build homes filled with blessing and joy.

Fondly, Slovie

This class is for WOMEN ONLY

History Lecture on the history of the blood libel with Prof Elissa Bemporad, Queen's college

JICNY History series continues... Since last year, JICNY launched a new History series. But this is NOT your typical history lecture!!!! We are meeting in a beautiful private apartment, and renowned academics will be enlightening us on specific and unusual aspects of Jewish History in a laid back learning atmosphere.. If you never enjoyed history in high school, try again with us: we'll change your mind.....

More details: Elissa Bemporad is the Jerry and William Ungar assistant professor in East European Jewish history at Queens College, the City University of New York. She teaches a variety of courses related to modern Eastern Europe, the Holocaust, and gender in Jewish history. Elissa is the author of numerous articles on the social and cultural history of the Jews of Russia and the Soviet Union. Her book, Becoming Soviet Jews: The Bolshevik Experiment in Minsk, is forthcoming with Indiana University Press.

In her talk, Elissa will discuss some peculiar aspects of the Blood Libel in the context of Eastern Europe, in particular Poland and Soviet Russia, from the 1920s to the 1950s. The blood libel dates from medieval times and deals with the blatantly untrue and defamatory accusation that the Jewish religion calls for the periodic ritual consumption of the blood of Christians.  The accusation is intimately intertwined with the history of anti-Semitism. Although we are well informed about the reappearance of the blood libel canard since the fall of Communism, we know little about how it manifested itself in Soviet times, as well as the ways in which Polish and Russian Jews responded to the accusation.

The event takes place in a private home & snacks and drinks will be available. Hope that you will join us for this unique, historical evening.

Cost:  No charge, suggested donation of $10
