SUMMARY:Author Talk with Marlene Trestman\, Labor Lawyer with the Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Before there was the Notorious RBG\, there was the Audacious Bessie Margolin (b. 1909-d. 1996). Marlene Trestman\, Margolin’s biographer\, will delve into Margolin’s remarkable life\, her legal career in the nation’s capital\, and the trail she blazed for countless women lawyers. Trestman will be in conversation with Senior Judge Beryl A. Howell\, former Chief Judge\, United States District Court for the District of Columbia. \nThrough a life that spanned the 20th century\, Supreme Court advocate Bessie Margolin shaped modern American labor policy and opened doors for female lawyers in the nation’s highest courts. She rose from humble beginnings in New Orleans’s Jewish orphanage\, where she learned lessons in social justice that shaped her into one of Washington’s most influential attorneys. \nAs a U.S Department of Labor attorney from 1939-1972\, boasting law degrees from Tulane and Yale\, Margolin made her mark on the biggest issues of her day. She was the only woman on the legal team that kept FDR’s New Deal alive; she shepherded new federal laws to prohibit child labor and require minimum wages; and\, after drafting rules for the Nazi war crimes trials following WWII\, argued 24 times at the United States Supreme Court (winning 21 of those cases) to protect American workers. However\, despite her innumerable successes\, her greatest career disappointment was being passed over for a federal judgeship. Regardless\, to this day only seven female lawyers have argued in front of the Supreme Court more times than Margolin. \nIn partnership with the Supreme Court Historical Society  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nLawyer-turned-author Marlene Trestman has written two books\, both inspired by personal experience. Orphaned at age 11\, Trestman grew up in New Orleans as a foster care client of the agency that formerly ran the Jewish Orphans’ Home where Bessie Margolin was raised. The two established a close relationship while Trestman attended college and law school\, and later through her legal career. Margolin inspired her future biographer to write this book\, and the first comprehensive history of their shared orphanage. \nA New Orleans native now living in Baltimore\, Trestman has won prizes and grants for her writing from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Supreme Court Historical Society\, Hadassah-Brandeis Institute\, the American Jewish Archives\, the Texas Jewish Historical Society\, the Southern Jewish Historical Society\, and the American Jewish Press Association. \nJudge Beryl A. Howell has served on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia since 2011\, including as Chief Judge from 2016 until March 2023. She took senior status in February 2024. Prior to her appointment to the bench\, Judge Howell worked in private practice\, the legal academy\, and in all three branches of the federal government. She served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Section in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York\, general counsel of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary\, two terms as a Commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission\, and executive managing director and general counsel of a cybersecurity and digital forensics consulting firm. Judge Howell has been a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States and the Judicial Conference Committees on Information Technology and on Criminal Law. She received her B.A. from Bryn Mawr College and her J.D. from Columbia University School of Law. Like Trestman and Margolin\, Judge Howell spent her formative high school years living in New Orleans.\nCost Range: $5 – $20 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Shabbat Dinner at Flor Coffee and Books with Oneg

SUMMARY:Empowering Mental Health Providers to Confront Antisemitism with the JCRC
DESCRIPTION:(This program is intended for mental health providers only.) \nIn the last few years\, Jewish mental health professionals have experienced an alarming increase in antisemitic language and actions from clients and colleagues\, at professional conferences and within professional associations. \nSocial workers\, psychiatrists\, psychologists and others in the mental health field are grappling with how to best respond to these situations — or whether to respond at all — while maintaining professionalism and preserving their Jewish identity. \nJoin us Sunday\, June 7th in Bethesda\, MD for a morning of compelling conversation with professionals who are at the forefront of this issue. We will be joined by clinical psychologist Miri Bar-Halpern\, PsyD\, Director of Trauma Training and Services with Parents for Peace. Dr. Bar-Halpern has spoken frequently and written extensively on the egregious claims that Zionism should be treated as a mental illness and has educated mental health providers about the harm of traumatic invalidation.  \nWe will also hear from local and national leaders working to address this crisis: \nJeff Mendelsohn\, Associate Vice President\, Advocacy & Civic Engagement\, The Jewish Federations of North America \nAndrea Yudell\, LICSW\, LCSW-C\, co-founder\, The Jewish Social Work Consortium \nMatt Biel\, M.D.\, M.Sc.\, Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics\, Director of the Thrive Center for Children\, Families and Communities at Georgetown University Medical Center \nAttendees will also have an opportunity to meet with fellow social workers\, psychologists and psychiatrists in the DMV to learn from each other\, share experiences and determine how to best coordinate advocacy within professional organizations to counter antisemitism. \nA light breakfast will be provided. There is no cost to attend. The venue will be shared with registrants 48-72 hours before the event. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Exploring the Blurry Borders of Eastern Europe with JRI-Poland and JGSGW
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting\, free for members of JGSGW. Nonmembers may register to attend for a fee of $10. \nThere is an old Jewish joke that “my grandpa” was born in Poland\, went to school in Russia\, became bar mitzvah in Hungary\, married in Austria\, died in the USSR and is buried in Ukraine — but never left town during his life! Europe’s changing borders and empires may make it difficult for you to decide where to look for your family’s records in the Old Country. Understanding what’s in the JRI-Poland database and learning how it might help your own family research is the subject of this lively presentation which will include demonstrations and end with a questions-and-answers session that is usually quite lively. Bring your questions and ask an expert on the JRI-Poland website and database! \nThis one-hour program\, conducted over Zoom at 1:30 pm EDT\, is free for members. This is one of the many activities that is a benefit of JGSGW membership. \nRobinn Magid is the president of JRI-Poland.org and has served as a JRI-Poland volunteer for 31 years. She is the project manager for JRI-Poland’s “Next Generation” website and database and is a popular speaker and writer on Jewish Genealogy topics. Robinn has served as the chair of two landmark international conferences for the IAJGS (International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies) Warsaw (2018) and the first virtual IAJGS conference (2020 during Covid). She is a recipient of the IAJGS Lifetime Achievement Award and of a civic medal from her paternal grandmother’s hometown of Lublin\, Poland.\nCost Range: $0 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: Captioning \n \nOrganization: Jewish Genealogy Society of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Healing Together: Overcoming Trauma Through Advocacy and Dialogue with the JCRC
DESCRIPTION:Nearly three years since the October 7th attacks\, the Jewish community continues to grapple with profound loss\, trauma\, and how to move forward in an ever-changing landscape at home and abroad. \nThe ongoing war in Iran\, the widening political divide\, and the rising level of antisemitism have added to our collective anxiety. How can we channel these emotions and overcome adversity through fellowship\, advocacy and dialogue? \nJoin us for a thoughtful conversation on how trauma impacts individuals and how it reverberates across families\, communities\, and the global Jewish population. \nRenowned trauma expert Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern and Jewish Women International Chief Executive Officer Meredith Jacobs in conversation with JCRC President Galia Messika Greenberg\, will discuss trauma and post-traumatic growth. Together\, they will weave together clinical insight with lived experience\, offering a deeper understanding of how trauma shapes individuals and communities — and how healing can begin. \nWe’ll also explore the critical role of advocacy in responding to and addressing that trauma — chiefly through the lens of JWI’s I Believe Israeli Women campaign\, which has worked to elevate awareness of gender-based violence\, support survivors\, and ensure that the experiences of Israeli women are seen\, heard\, and believed. \nGrounded in Jewish values of communal responsibility and care\, this program invites participants to consider: What does it mean to truly “show up” for one another after tragedy? How can we support survivors\, hold space for pain\, and foster resilience within our own circles? And how do we move\, collectively\, from grief toward meaning and renewal? \nThe venue will be shared with registrants 48-72 hours before the event. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
