SUMMARY:Judaism Beyond Nationalism w/ Rabbi Andy Kahn with American Council for Judaism
DESCRIPTION:A half day of learning and discussion with Rabbi Andrue Kahn\, executive director of the American Council for Judaism (ACJ). \n“What Is Judaism Beyond Nationalism?” Rabbi Kahn traces how contemporary Jewish American identities\, cultures\, and practices are rooted in histories of non- and anti-Zionism\, from the origins of the Reform movement to the ACJ’s founding and its present-day revival: a vision of a diasporic Judaism rooted in ethics\, tradition\, and community that does not need a connection to a state to be whole. \n“Looking Back\, Looking Forward.” A roundtable of local rabbis on what diasporic Judaism looks like in practice today\, and how conversations around Zionism and Israel-Palestine are playing out in their communities and from their bimahs. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace – DC Metro\, IfNotNow DC\, Montgomery County Jewish Collective\, the American Council for Judaism\, and the Abdul Aziz Said Chair in International Peace and Conflict Resolution at American University. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: American Council for Judaism \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:AAmram Scholar Series: Roy Altman\, "Israel on Trial" with 2239
DESCRIPTION:Israel on Trial : Examining the History\, the Evidence\, and the Law \nSponsored by the Dr. Allan and Katherine Schwartzberg Jewish Studies Endowment Fund \nSince October 7\, Judge Roy Altman has spoken about Israel at churches\, synagogues\, colleges\, law schools\, and community centers across the country. In those conversations\, he found that today’s debate keeps returning to six claims made against Israel\, including genocide\, occupation\, and apartheid\, and that each one is\, at its core\, a legal claim. \nIn his New York Times and USA Today bestseller Israel on Trial\, Altman sets aside emotion and rhetoric and examines each claim the way he would in his courtroom\, using a method lawyers and judges have relied on for 250 years. Each chapter ends with a verdict. Together they show how these claims fail on the law and how they have been used to diminish Jewish suffering and play on long-held prejudices about Jews. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nIn 2019\, Judge Alt­man became the youngest fed­er­al dis­trict court judge in the coun­try — and the youngest fed­er­al judge ever appoint­ed in the South­ern Dis­trict of Flori­da. Alt­man received a BA from Colum­bia\, where he played quar­ter­back and pitch­er — earn­ing All-Ivy hon­ors. Alt­man received his JD from Yale Law School\, where he was projects edi­tor of the Yale Law Jour­nal. Alt­man clerked for a fed­er­al judge and became a fed­er­al pros­e­cu­tor in Mia­mi\, where he twice received the DOJ’s high­est nation­al award for a fed­er­al pros­e­cu­tor. In 2013\, Judge Alt­man was named ​“Fed­er­al Pros­e­cu­tor of the Year” and\, in 2014\, became a part­ner at Pod­hurst Orseck\, where he rep­re­sent­ed the vic­tims of the Malaysian air­plane that dis­ap­peared over the Indi­an Ocean. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: 2239 \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
