SUMMARY:Commemorating 3rd Anniversary of 10/7 w/ American Middle East Press Association
DESCRIPTION:For one night only\, The American Middle East Press Association (AMEPA) invites community members to hear Israeli-American\, Gal Bukshpan\, recount his hair raising story of how he and his friends escaped the Nova music festival as Hamas terrorists attacked and rockets flew overhead. To help moderate the evening’s program we will be joined by Harris Faulkner\, 6-time Emmy award-winning news anchor and host of Fox News Channel shows—“The Faulkner Focus” and “Outnumbered” – The program will be taped live and will include a moderated interview with Mr. Bukshpan followed by an audience Q&A and chance to meet Ms. Faulkner.   \nAMEPA rarely opens its press events to non-journalists\, however we believe the event will allow audience members to bear witness and never forget the atrocities that took place on Oct. 7. To help spread the word we are relying on the support of local organizations and would be grateful if you please share the attached invite or photo in an email- blast or newsletter. Also\, please feel free to register! \nWe are excited about our upcoming program and hope you and others will join us for a memorable evening of reflection and remembrance. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Post-Event Recording \n \nOrganization: The American Middle East press Association \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Jewish Teachings on Death and Dying with Bet Mishpachah
DESCRIPTION:Join Rabbi Jake Singer-Beilin of Bet Mishpachah for a four-part series on Jewish resources and views on death and dying. Each class is a free-standing event. Join us for one or all. \nClass 2 — Illness\, Care\, and Final Moments (In person and on Zoom\, Saturday October 24th\, following the Shabbat service and Kiddush lunch\, at 12:30 pm) \nAs illness progresses and the end of life draws near\, Jewish tradition offers profound guidance on how to care for the body and soul. This class examines Jewish perspectives on hospice and palliative care\, the value placed on aging in place and maintaining dignity (kavod ha-briyot) throughout decline\, and the customs surrounding a person’s final moments\, including the Vidui (deathbed confession) and the presence of loved ones at the bedside. We’ll also explore the vital role of pastoral care and chaplaincy in walking alongside patients and families\, and how Jewish law balances the preservation of life with allowing a natural death.\nCost Range: $0 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Post-Event Recording \n \nOrganization: Bet Mishpachah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
