    25th anniversary screening of documentary about an extraordinary baseball player and World War II soldier who became an American icon.

    ÒThe Life and Times of Hank Greenberg' is a humorous and nostalgic documentary about an extraordinary baseball player who transcended religious prejudice to become an American icon. Detroit Tiger Hammerin' Hank's accomplishments during the Golden Age of Baseball rivaled those of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. This compelling documentary examines how America's first Jewish baseball star was a beacon of hope to American Jews who faced bigotry during the Depression and World War II. In 1941, Greenberg enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces, serving his country during World War II and pausing his baseball career.

    Aviva Kempner joins us for Q&A following the film.

  • Free Press in a Free Society with Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia

    Give a Hoot Comedy 16143 Shady Grove RD, Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States

    A free press is one of the bedrock principles of American democracy. However, in recent years, amid extreme polarization, the media has come under scrutiny for how they deliver the news, while public figures have demonized the journalism industry and stoked anger among viewers.

    Once-revered journalists like Murrow, Cronkite, Woodward and Bernstein have been replaced in part by a new generation of news professionals who emphasize social media views and sensationalist commentary over accurate and well-sourced information.

    Our distinguished panel of diverse journalists will discuss how we arrived in an era where the weaponization of information has become commonplace in media and the public discourse. We'll also assess whether the Fourth Estate can still be a beacon of truth in our deeply divided society and what can be done to regain the trust of skeptical consumers. Audience Q&A to follow panel discussion.

    Panelists:
    Marvin Kalb, veteran journalist, author, and Founding Direct
