SUMMARY:Forging a More Perfect Union: American Jews & Democracy w/ Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Journey through the history of American Jewish political activism in the 20th and 21st centuries. \nIn this 250th year since American independence\, Professor Lauren Strauss goes beyond theoretical discussions about the nation’s founding to focus on the many ways that Jewish Americans have engaged politically. From the streets to the courts to Capitol Hill\, Jews in the U.S.—especially in Washington\, DC—have helped to redefine what it means to live in a democracy.  \n  \nPresented in partnership with Moment Magazine. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nLauren Strauss teaches Jewish history and literature at American University in Washington\, DC\, and is Director of Undergraduate Studies for AU’s Jewish Studies Program.  A scholar of American Jewish political and cultural history\, Strauss is completing her book Painting the Town Red: Jewish Visual Artists\, Yiddish Culture\, and Radical Politics in Interwar New York.  Her next book will explore the political activism of DC Jews and the relationship between American Jews and democracy.  She lectures widely\, is a commentator at Jewish cultural events and in the press\, and has served as historian for several museum exhibits.  She is also active in “shared society” groups that focus on Arab-Jewish relations in Israel\, and in Black-Jewish dialogue groups in the DC area.\nCost Range: $5 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Certificate Program Begins: American-Israeli Relationship w/ Hudson Institute
DESCRIPTION:Our policy certificate programs aim to give participants practical knowledge of key policy areas. Over four days in Washington\, candidates engage with the theory and practice of politics and wrestle with the complexity of contemporary policy issues.\nRecent trends have made many Americans doubt the contributions of the Jewish faith\, people\, and homeland to liberal democracy\, as well as the importance of a strong American-Israeli alliance to our national security. This program asks whether support for Israel is essential to our national security and liberal democracy more broadly. Seminars take up the Hebrew Bible\, American history\, and IR theory. Finally\, a review of the rationale for Operation Epic Fury is followed by an exercise simulating further crisis in the Middle East. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Hudson Institute Political Studies \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Supreme Court Justice Arthur and Dorothy Goldberg’s Passover Seders with CJM
DESCRIPTION:In 1960s Washington\, the Goldbergs hosted annual seders famous for weaving the Haggadah together with the songs and history of the labor movement. As Arthur Goldberg’s career carried him from representing steelworkers\, to serving as JFK’s Labor Secretary\, to a seat on the Supreme Court\, the guest list grew from local Jewish families and labor leaders to include Washington’s A-list. Arthur and his wife\, Dorothy—an artist and activist in her own right—filled their civil-rights-themed seders with joy and music. (Picture Dorothy singing Yiddish labor songs\, AFL-CIO leader George Meany belting Irish ballads\, and Chief Justice Earl Warren warbling “The Yellow Rose of Texas.”) \n  \nJoin us for a night of stories from guests lucky enough to have known the Goldbergs and attended these gatherings. \n  \nPresented in partnership with the Supreme Court Historical Society. \n  \nImage caption: Photograph by Mel Chamowitz\, gift of the photographer. Capital Jewish Museum Collection. \nSec. of Labor Arthur Goldberg being greeted by officers and spiritual leaders on the occasion of Shabbat services on Memorial Day at Adas Israel Congregation\, 1961.

SUMMARY:"Exceptional Hatred" Author Talk with James Loeffler with Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Has antisemitism always been woven into American history or are we witnessing something fundamentally new? Why do Jews and Israel stand at the center of so many battles over free speech? And can we confront hate speech without sacrificing the freedoms we hold dear? \nDrawing on his acclaimed new book\, historian James Loeffler tackles these urgent questions head-on\, illuminating what our current crisis reveals about the fragility—and resilience—of liberal democracy\, and where we might go from here. \nPresented in partnership with the Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies and Moment Magazine.\nCost Range: $5 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
