SUMMARY:Interfaith "Ain't no back to a merry-go-round" Film with Kol Shalom
DESCRIPTION:AIN’T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND is the untold story of the first organized interracial civil rights protest in U.S. history. When 5 Howard University students sat on a Maryland carousel in 1960\, the arrests made headlines. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students in picketing\, anextra ordinary history-making partnership was born. The pickets attracted Nazis\,Congressman\, and a press avalanche. Picketing together over the sweltering summer led to partying together\, and union organizers mentored student activists. Ten 1961 Freedom Riders\, including Stokely Carmichael\, were incubated on the Glen Echo picket line\, and the carousel arrests were challenged in the Supreme Court case. \nWith never-before seen footage\, and immersive storytelling by Emmy-award winning director Ilana Trachtman (Praying with Lior\, Black in Latin America\, The Pursuit)\, four living protesters rescue this forgotten history\, revealing the price\, and the power\, of heeding the impulse to activism. AIN’T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND includes voice over by noted actors Jeffrey Wright\, Mandy Patinkin\, Bob Balaban\, Lee Grant\,Peter Gallagher\, Dominique Thorne\, Alysia Reiner and Tracie Thoms \nPlease be advised that there is racial epithets and language that may not be suitable for young children. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Kol Shalom \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Lala Tamar with the Micah Storefront Project
DESCRIPTION:Lala Tamar & Friends\, featuring Yacouba Sissoko \nLala Tamar is what happens when Moroccan soul and Brazilian beats meet on the dance floor. A singer\, dancer\, and gimbri player\, LALA (“lady” in darija) brings North African music a fresh\, feminine alchemy—ancient songs infused with the spell of gnawa trance\, her grandmother’s music resurrected from the Atlas Mountains. Internationally acclaimed\, she is known on the streets of Marrakech\, her videos have millions of views\, and her jubilant sound has carried her to festivals and stages on six continents. Wherever she goes\, hearts and feet leave happy. \nMaster kora player Yacouba Sissoko devotes his gift to spreading the word of peace and expanding awareness of West African history and culture. His performances transform traditional songs and stories inherited from his forefathers into messages of love\, harmony\, and empowerment. The kora itself—an enchanting 21-stringed instrument central to West African culture—has long been played by djelys\, or storytellers\, who performed for kings\, nobility\, and village chiefs. Through song\, they preserved the oral histories of their people\, recording the rhythms of social life\, cultural identity\, and family lineage. In Yacouba’s hands\, the kora continues this lineage\, transporting audiences with its resonant sound. \nLala and Yacouba will be joined by Zachi Asher on oud and guitar\, Phil Mayer on percussion and Rabbi Healy Slakman on vocals. \nIt promises to be an unforgettable evening of music—borderless\, luminous\, and deeply human. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: The Micah Storefront Project \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Pivoting with Impact: After Public Service with Jewish Social Impact Network
DESCRIPTION:After the last several months\, as rounds of federal and federal-adjacent layoffs have turned people’s lives upside down\, many in our community find themselves trying to figure out what’s next. Join us and the Jewish Social Impact Network (JSI) for an evening that blends Jewish wisdom\, practical inspiration\, and career strategy. \nHear from a panel of former federal and federal-adjacent professionals who have successfully pivoted into new careers for inspiration on how to take a leap of faith into something new. Each panelist will share their story and lessons learned about aligning personal values\, professional skills\, and opportunities to do good in the world. Following the panel\, attendees will have time for small-group conversations with the speakers and their peers — a chance to share experiences\, ask questions\, and identify next steps. We will also raffle off professional headshots (to be scheduled for a later date) for 15 event participants. \nPlease note that this workshop is intended for people impacted by federal job cuts. It is open to former federal and federal-adjacent employees.\nWe understand that many are juggling childcare with job searching – feel free to bring your children to this event if needed (childcare will not be provided but they are welcome to be with you throughout the event). \nThis event is free\, but RSVP is required. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Jewish Social Impact Network \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
