SUMMARY:The Optimist Movie Premiere: An Intergenerational Story of Hope with Trafalgar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the DC premiere of THE OPTIMIST — inspired by the true story of Herbert Heller\, a Holocaust survivor who escaped the Auschwitz-Birkenau death march at just 15 years old. \nFor more than 60 years\, Herbert kept his experiences hidden. Then an unexpected bond with a struggling teenager changed everything — and he chose\, at last\, to share his story. \nStarring Stephen Lang (Avatar) and Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade)\, this award-winning film is a moving reflection on memory\, resilience\, and the power of intergenerational connection. It asks what happens when generations truly listen to one another — and how sharing our stories can bring healing and hope. \nWhy this moment matters: 20% of box office proceeds will directly support KAVOD’s Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund\, helping provide dignified care to Holocaust survivors living in poverty today. \nJoin us. Bring a friend. Be part of a night that honors the past\, strengthens the present\, and connects generations. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Trafalgar Releasing \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Eureka Day Premiere with Theater J
DESCRIPTION:The Eureka Day School in Berkeley\, California\, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation\, acceptance\, social justice. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity\, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community\, facts become subjective and every solution divisive\, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?\nCost Range: $50 – $80 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Captioning \n \nOrganization: Theater J \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Clay Risen with the Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Explore the history and current relevance of the mid-20th century Red Scare. Learn about this dark period\, which particularly affected civil rights activists\, teachers\, Hollywood stars\, and DC’s federal workers\, including many Jewish figures. Author and New York Times reporter Clay Risen will be in conversation with Capital Jewish Museum Executive Director\, Bea Gurwitz. \nPresented in partnership with the Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies. \nABOUT THE BOOK: Red Scare: Blacklists\, McCarthyism\, and the Making of Modern America by Clay Risen  \nFrom an award-winning historian and New York Times reporter comes the timely story about McCarthyism that both “lays out the many mechanisms of repression that made the Red Scare possible…[and] describes how something that once seemed so terrifying and interminable did\, in fact\, come to an end” (The New Yorker)—based in part on newly declassified sources. \nNow\, for the first time in a generation\, Clay Risen delivers a narrative history of the anti-Communist witch hunt that gripped America in the decade following World War II. This period\, known as the Red Scare\, was an outgrowth of the conflict between social conservatives and New Deal progressives\, and the terrifying onset of the Cold War. Marked by an unprecedented degree of political hysteria\, this was a defining moment in American history\, completely unlike any that preceded it. Drawing upon newly declassified documents and with “scenes are so vivid that you can almost feel yourself sweating along with the witnesses” (The New York Times Book Review)\, journalist Clay Risen recounts how politicians like Joseph McCarthy\, with the help of an extended network of other government officials and organizations\, systematically ruined thousands of lives in their deluded pursuit of alleged Communist conspiracies. \n“Thorough\, impassioned…detailed\, [and] tension-packed” (Los Angeles Times)\, Red Scare reveals an all-too-familiar pattern of illiberal conspiracy-mongering and political and cultural backlash that speaks directly to the antagonism and divisiveness of our contemporary moment. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS  \nBea Gurwitz is Executive Director of the Lillian & Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum. Prior to joining the Museum in 2024\, she served as the deputy director of the National Humanities Alliance—an organization dedicated to bolstering the humanities on college campuses\, promoting public engagement with the humanities\, and increasing funding for humanities organizations. Additional career highlights include consulting with the National Endowment for the Humanities and the United States Department of State. She has also taught at the University of Maryland and the University of California\, Berkeley\, and in the New York City public school system. Gurwitz’s academic work focuses on the history of Jewish communities and other ethnic groups in Latin America\, and she is the author of Argentine Jews in the Age of Revolt (Brill\, 2016).  \nClay Risen is a reporter with The New York Times and the author\, most recently\, of “Red Scare: Blacklists\, McCarthyism and the Making of Modern America\,” which The Chicago Tribune named one of the ten best books of 2025. He is the author of several previous books on American history\, including “The Crowded Hour: Theodore Roosevelt\, the Rough Riders and the Dawn of the American Century\,” “The Bill of the Century: The Epic Battle for the Civil Rights Act\,” and “A Nation on Fire: America in the Wake of the King Assassination.” He lives in Brooklyn. \nImage Credit: Promotional photos provided courtesy of the speakers.\nCost Range: 0 – 18 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Eilu v'Eilu: An Open Reflection Project with Am Kolel
DESCRIPTION:This gentle\, conversation-based program creates space for us to explore some of the most meaningful\, complicated\, and personal aspects of Jewish life. \nMany of the topics we’ll be discussing—God\, prayer\, Israel\, identity\, mortality\, and more—can be challenging to talk about\, even with people we know well. Eilu v’Eilu offers a warm\, guided space to dive deeply into our own thoughts and beliefs\, to practice articulating ideas that may feel tender or evolving\, and to listen generously to the experiences of others. \nEach session stands on its own\, and you’re warmly invited to join for as many—or as few—as you’d like. \nThese Thursday-evening Zoom gatherings (7:00–8:30 pm) are designed for curiosity\, honesty\, and genuine connection. There are no “right answers” to arrive at—just opportunities to reflect\, ask\, listen\, and share. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Am Kolel \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:"Man with a Movie Camera" Screening with JxJ
DESCRIPTION:A landmark of silent cinema\, Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera is one of the most influential films ever made. Rejecting plot\, actors\, and traditional storytelling\, the film presents a dynamic\, non-linear portrait of everyday life in Soviet cities including Moscow\, Kyiv\, Odesa\, and Kharkiv. \nStructured as a “city symphony\,” the film captures the rhythms of modern urban life\, from factory labor and streetcars to leisure\, marriage\, and birth\, while also revealing the process of filmmaking itself. Cameramen\, editors\, and machines appear onscreen\, emphasizing Vertov’s belief that the camera could perceive reality in ways the human eye could not. \nUsing then-revolutionary techniques such as split screens\, superimposition\, and rapid montage\, the film remains playful\, challenging\, and visually exhilarating. Once controversial\, it is now widely regarded as a masterpiece of the Soviet avant-garde and one of the greatest documentaries ever made. \nThis special screening features The Anvil Orchestra performing the film’s original score live. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: JxJ DC Jewish Film and Music \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Community Days: Blacklisted with the Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Community Day! The entire Museum\, including special exhibition Blacklisted: An American Story\, will be free to the public. \nStep into one of the most charged moments in American history. Blacklisted: An American Story explores the Hollywood blacklist and the federal government’s loyalty investigations that upended thousands of lives during the Red Scare. Through powerful personal stories\, rare artifacts\, and film clips\, the exhibition reveals how fear\, politics\, and identity collided—and what was lost when dissent was silenced. \nBlacklisted: An American Story\, on loan from Jewish Museum Milwaukee\, incorporates film\, personal narratives\, objects\, costume\, and photography to examine the shifting definition of what it meant then—and what it means now—to be a patriotic American\, and who gets to decide. The Capital Jewish Museum expands on the original presentation about the Hollywood Blacklist to include a look at the Red Scare’s impact on federal employees in the nation’s capital. \nThis special exhibition made possible in part by Richard Small Alper; Bob and Kate Giaimo; Howard Morse and Laura Loeb; Nussdorf Family; and David Bruce Smith\, Grateful American Foundation. \nAdditional support from Linda and Eli Frank; Karchem Raizes Family; Wilma Probst-Levy; Pat and Robert Silverman. \nAs of 1.22.2026 \nSecurity and Safety\nWe are committed to ensuring that our museum is a safe and welcoming space for everyone. \nThe Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum reserves the right to refuse entry\, or remove anyone from our premises\, at our sole discretion.

SUMMARY:The Optimist Movie: An Intergenerational Story of Hope with Trafalgar Releasing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the DC premiere of THE OPTIMIST — inspired by the true story of Herbert Heller\, a Holocaust survivor who escaped the Auschwitz-Birkenau death march at just 15 years old. \nFor more than 60 years\, Herbert kept his experiences hidden. Then an unexpected bond with a struggling teenager changed everything — and he chose\, at last\, to share his story. \nStarring Stephen Lang (Avatar) and Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade)\, this award-winning film is a moving reflection on memory\, resilience\, and the power of intergenerational connection. It asks what happens when generations truly listen to one another — and how sharing our stories can bring healing and hope. \nWhy this moment matters: 20% of box office proceeds will directly support KAVOD’s Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund\, helping provide dignified care to Holocaust survivors living in poverty today. \nJoin us. Bring a friend. Be part of a night that honors the past\, strengthens the present\, and connects generations. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Trafalgar Releasing \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
