We will be interviewing Rabbi Dr. Havi va Ner-David\, resident of the Galilee. Her recent novel\, Hope Valley\, w ill be the focus of our virtual conversation. Her work\, beyond writing\, focuses on spirituality\, as well as interfaith\, intercultural and relati onship building.\n\nMore about our author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H aviva_Ner-David and https://rabbihaviva.com/\n\nThe recently published nov el of 249 pages\, Hope Valley\, describes the relationship between two wom en\, before the outbreak of the second intifada. Each woman lives in segre gated communities in the Galilee\, one Jewish-Israeli\, the other Palestin ian-Israeli. Both women are artists\, older and\, despite the separate liv es of these two communities on each side of Hope Valley\, through their in teractions\, they learn much from each other.\n\nAvailability of this nove l:\nRegretfully\, most libraries have not acquired this novel for their co llections.\nOur research led us to discover that Amazon (to order and also on Kindle)\, AbeBooks (9 copies) and\nBetter World Books (based on order) sells copies. Susan purchased a copy through Barnes and Noble.\nThe cost of the paperback is approx. $17. There is an e-book listed on the publishe r’s web page for this\nnovel\, Bedazzled Ink Press: http://binkbooks.bed azzledink.com/books/books-h/hope-valley/\n\nMerle and Susan welcome you to this Sunday event\, so we can include our Israeli sisters.

A safe space for discussion of these topics\, this fo rum helps students identify instances of bias and harassment and enables t hem to build skills to deal with these challenges -- whether in the workpl ace\, synagogue\, school\, summer camp\, or wherever their rabbinic career takes them.\n\nOur goal is to raise $200\,000 to be equally split between the two schools\; thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors\, we'v e already raised $111\,000. Please help Torah Fund further these two impor tant projects by \;giving today.

Cardin created the Jewish Women’s Resource Center in 19 78 before joining the first group of women admitted to the Jewish Theologi cal Seminary in 1984. Embracing a “broad definition” of what it meant to be a rabbi\, Cardin focused her work on counseling\, from advising rabb inical students at JTS to serving as founding associate director of the Na tional Center for Jewish Healing and director of Jewish life at the JCC of Greater Baltimore. Cardin also edited \;Sh’ma: A Journal of Jewish Responsibility\, and wrote a number of books on ritual and spirituality\, including \;Tears of Sorrow\, Seeds of Hope\, which addresses issues o f miscarriage and loss. She later turned to environmentalism\, founding th e Baltimore Jewish Environmental Network and the Baltimore Orchard Project \, which grows and distributes food to the needy\, and served as a consult ant to COEJL\, the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life.

Jews are among the best customers for direct-to-con sumer genetic tests and their packaged analysis. Are they useful\, or conf using? \;\n\nWe also have well-studied mutations for certain diseases\ , owing to our ancestors having lived and married in tight-knit communitie s. \;\n\nWhen is it advisable for us to seek medical genetic testing? What is the genetics counselor’s role? If we do find that we carry a “ bad” gene\, what’s next? Should we fear the potential for discriminati on against us individually and as a people from all this genomic disclosur e?\n\nFrom a wider lens\, how do the frontiers of genetic science intersec t with bioethics and Jewish standards? And might the discovery of our gene tic information and lineage confound our understanding of Jewish identity?  \;\n\nThese and other probing questions will be explored by two exper ts in their respective fields:\n\nLaurie Zoloth\, Ph.D.\, \;is the Mar garet E.

Our last step before we vote on the bylaws is to share the following documents once more with our membership to help prepare for a vote.\n\nListed below are three documents:\n\n\n\n\n Current Bylaws\n Proposed Bylaws\n Proposed changes (summary) with Timeline\n\n\n\n\nPlea se review all three attachments carefully and submit your questions to Mar ilyn Berkowitz\, International Parliamentarian at mberkowitz@wlcj.org no l ater than June 13th. \n\nPlease register for the special membership meetin g on Wednesday\, June 15th at 8:00 EST where we will vote on the proposed bylaws. \n\nOn June 15th\, we will begin the meeting with any questions yo u might have. We will then take a vote on the bylaws as presented. Due to the restrictions in our current (and proposed) bylaws regarding the notice requirements of any proposed changes/amendments to the bylaws\, there wil l be no amendments allowed. It will be a simple "yes" or "no" vote. We kno w there are some grammatical (punctuation\, spelling\, capitalization) and formatting changes that need to be made. If the bylaws are passed\, we wi ll make those changes being very careful that they don't change the meanin g of the document.\n\n \;\n\nThe vote will be on the following motion:  \; \;\n\n“I move that we repeal the WLCJ Bylaws adopted in 200 6 and last amended in 2020 and adopt the 2022 proposed bylaws.”\n\nThe n ew bylaws will take effect upon adoption.\n\n \;\n\nBylaws Revision Co mmittee\n\nMarilyn Berkowitz\, Parliamentarian and Chair\n\nBarbara Safer\ n\nCory Schneider\n\nShelley Szwalbenest\n\n\n \;\nClick here to REGIS TER: https://wlcj2.org/u/?L1c6430i ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wlcj.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ WLCJ-Website-Icons-8.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:497@wlcj.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220616T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220616T193000 DTSTAMP:20220616T131336Z URL:https://www.wlcj.org/events/sustainability-shmina/ SUMMARY:Sustainability: Shmina DESCRIPTION:[This Program is scheduled on Eastern Time Zone]\n\nWorksheet f or program: The Five Realms of Our Lives WORKSHEET\n\nThursday\, June 16th \n\n6:00 PM ET\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n \;\n\nFREE registration is a benefit of your Women’s League membership. \;\n\n \;\n\nQuestio ns? \nContact Environment Co-Chairs\nCorinne Hammerschlag  \;or \;  \;Lymor Wasserman\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wlcj.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ Sustainability-Logo-June-16.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:467@wlcj.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220616T191500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220616T211500 DTSTAMP:20220509T151109Z URL:https://www.wlcj.org/events/bqli-region-woman-of-achievement-gala/ SUMMARY:BQLI Region Woman of Achievement Gala DESCRIPTION:[This Program is scheduled on Eastern Time Zone]\n\n\nWe are ex cited to announce that it is time to register for our annual BQLI Region W oman of Achievement Gala which will take place on \;Thursday\, June 16  \;via \;Zoom.\n\nOur new website includes all the information for our Gala including tickets\, ads\, raffles\, biographical information and pictures of our honorees\, the Mitzvah project\, the program\, and more.\ n\nWe are very proud of our BQLI Region honorees\, \;and we are deligh ted to announce these dedicated volunteers.

Ric h in historical background\, the book deals with one of the most contentio us political issues in Israel’s history\, whether or not Israel should n egotiate directly with Germany for reparations for the Holocaust. This iss ue divided Israeli society and the struggle against negotiations reached a boiling point on January 7\, 1952\, when protestors stormed the Knesset f ollowing a fiery speech by Menachem Begin. Not merely mystery\, A Death in Jerusalem is a journey back in time to a young state of Israel\, beautifu lly capturing the country\, the city\, and its people. Jonathan Dunsky is the author of the Adam Lapid mysteries\, a series of historical novels set primarily in Israel in the 1940s and '50s. A longtime student of history and an avid reader of crime fiction\, Dunsky combined his two passions to create his protagonist\, Adam Lapid\, a Holocaust survivor who works as a private detective in the fledgling State of Israel. The Adam Lapid series numbers seven novels and one short story\, so far. Dunsky is writing the e ighth novel in the series\, with many more to come.\nBuy your copy of his book from Bookshop.org (to support independent bookstores) or amazon.com ( remember to use your Amazon Smile account if you have one that supports yo ur local congregation).\nThere is no charge for this event but registratio n is required.

Marsha had visited Yad Vashem at age 16\, but knew litt le then\, other than that her father grew up in Mlawa\, Poland\, was inter ned in the ghetto there\, and survived Auschwitz and a death march. \; All that changed in 2017\, when her sister shared with her a book written by Glenn Kurtz\, whose own grandfather\, in 1938\, had recorded three min utes of his visit to his hometown of Nasielsk\, Poland. This occurred just a year before the town was invaded by the Nazis\, and nearly all its Jews were deported and subsequently killed.

Segal Memorial Lecture in L aw and Ethics\n\nMonday\, September 11\, 2023\, at 7:00 p.m. \;ET\nIn- Person at JTS  \;\n3080 Broadway (at 122nd Street) \;\nNew York Ci ty \;\n\n\n\nLast summer\, the US Supreme Court overturned 50 years of constitutional protection for abortion. Since the landmark ruling in Dobb s v. Jackson Women’s Health\, many states have banned or severely limite d abortion access\, leading the Jewish community to become increasingly in volved in advocacy efforts around abortion rights. \; \;\n\nJoin u s for a screening of the acclaimed new documentary short \;“Under&nb sp\;G-d.” \;The film\, which will be introduced by its award-winning director and producer \;Paula Eiselt\, \;chronicles efforts by me mbers of the Jewish community to ensure abortion access\, including the su ccessful legal challenge of an Indiana abortion ban based on the principle of religious freedom. \; \;\n\nFollowing the screening\, we’ll hear from two experts on abortion rights: \;Dr. Michal Raucher \;( JTS List College\, ‘05)\, scholar of reproduction and religion and Assoc iate Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University\, and \;Dr. Chr istine Ryan\, Associate Director of Columbia Law School’s Law\, Rights\, and Religion Project\, who directs its program on religious liberty and r eproductive rights. Our speakers will reflect on various legal strategies to counter abortion restrictions and their prospects for broader\, long-te rm success\, as well as other initiatives within and beyond the Jewish com munity to secure and support the right to abortion. \;\n\nAdmission is free\, but reservations are required. \; \;\n\nThis program will not be live-streamed\, but a recording of the panel discussion will be pos ted on the JTS website at \;www.jtsa.edu/torah \;and on \;JTS ’s YouTube channel. \;\n \;\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n \;\nABOUT TH E PROGRAM \;\n“Under G-d” \;is a documentary short film\, whic h premiered as an official selection of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival\, about the Jewish response to the US Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs\, told through the lived experiences of impacted Jewish women and the variou s lawsuits currently being brought by rabbis\, Jewish organizations\, and interfaith leaders challenging the overturning of Roe v. Wade state by sta te. Through the lens of maintaining the separation of church and state\, t hese nationwide efforts are predicated on ultimately protecting religious freedom—and democracy—for all. The film weaves together the stories of a Jewish mother and activist in Indiana\; a rabbi in Florida\; and lawyer s throughout the country who are seeking to fight abortion bans in part by placing them in the legal and cultural context of religious freedom. The film was produced and directed by \;Paula Eiselt \;and produced by  \;Darcy McKinnon. \; \; \; \;\n\n\n\nDr. Michal Rauch er \;is Associate Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. H er research lies at the intersection of the anthropology of women in Judai sm\, reproductive ethics\, and religious authority\, and she has a backgro und in religion\, gender studies\, anthropology\, and bioethics. Her first book was \;Conceiving Agency: Reproductive Authority among Haredi Wom en\, \;and she is working on a new book\, \;The New Rabbis\, which explores how religious authority is changing within American Orthodox Jud aism with a focus on women rabbis. She is currently conducting research on abortion and religion in America\, and has been teaching public audiences for several years on issues related to reproduction and abortion among Je ws and in Jewish texts. Her work has been featured in NBC News\, JTA\, the  \;Conversation\, and the \;Feminist Studies in Religion \;blo g\, and she has been quoted in the \;New York Times. She has degrees f rom Columbia University\, JTS\, and University of Pennsylvania\, and a PhD from Northwestern University. \; \;\n\n\n\nDr. Christine Ryan\,&n bsp\;a reproductive rights attorney\, is Associate Director of Columbia La w School’s Law\, Rights\, and Religion Project\, where she directs its r eligious liberty and reproductive rights program. Prior to her position at Columbia\, she was the legal director of the Global Justice Center in New York\, where she led the center’s legal and advocacy work on reproducti ve rights. She also served as senior legal and gender advisor to the Unite d Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief for four yea rs\, where she documented human rights violations globally and worked with countries to enhance protections for religious minorities. A scholar of g ender\, human\, and constitutional rights\, she holds an SJD (Doctor of Ju ridical Science) from Duke University School of Law as well as degrees fro m University College London and University College Cork in Ireland. \; \nABOUT THE SEGAL MEMORIAL LECTURE \;\nThe annual Bernard G.

She will share her own pers onal journey into public health\, what it was like to get “the call”\, what were some of the hardest days/things\, lessons learned\, morale of t he agency\, preparedness for the next pandemic\, and more.\n \;\nRoche lle Walensky\, MD\, MPH\nBrief Bio\nDr. Rochelle Walensky served as the 19 th Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2021-23)\, Professor of Medicine\, Harvard Medical School (2012-2021)\, and Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases\, Massachusetts General Hospital (2017 -2021). Dr. Walensky is an infectious disease clinician whose research car eer is guided by a belief that the clinical and economic outcomes of medic al decisions can be improved through the explicit articulation of choices\ , the systematic assembly of evidence\, and the careful assessment of comp arative costs and benefits. She has focused these beliefs on mathematical model-based research toward the promotion of global access to HIV preventi on\, screening\, and care. Her ground-breaking work and over 300 research publications have motivated changes to US HIV testing and immigration poli cy\; promoted expanded funding for HIV-related research\, treatment\, and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPfAR)\; and led to polic y revisions toward aggressive HIV screening – especially for the underse rved – and earlier treatment in resource-limited international settings. In light of these contributions\, Dr. Walensky has been an active member of policy discussions at the WHO\, UNAIDS\, the DHHS HIV Guidelines Commit tee\, and the NIH Office of AIDS Research. She is a member of the National Academy of Medicine.\n \;\nDr. Walensky served on the frontlines of t he COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts until beginning her tenure at the CD C on January 20th\, 2021. While at the CDC\, Dr. Walensky led the nation - and the world - through unprecedented times\, navigating the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic and further facing the largest density of divers e infectious threats likely ever seen in this country. During her tenure\, she participated in nearly 100 press conferences and countless media appe arances\, and provided testimony at 17 Congressional hearings.\n \;\nD r. Walensky received her BA (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\, 1991) fr om Washington University in St. Louis\; her MD from the Johns Hopkins Scho ol of Medicine (1995) and her MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health (Clinical Effectiveness\, 2001). She completed her Internal Medicine resi dency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (1995-1998) and her Infectious Disease fellowship at the Massachusetts General/Brigham and Women’s Hospital co mbined program (1998-2001). She is married to Loren Walensky\, MD\, PhD\, a physician-scientist and pediatric oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer I nstitute/Boston Children’s Hospital. The Doctors Walensky have 3 sons ag es 19\, 22\, and 24.\nZoom link will be sent upon registering.\n\nRegistra tion is open to \;WL members \;(in the USA &\; Canada)\, you mu st log in (https://www.wlcjmembers.org/member_login.php) to register for t his program.

Her father plays the viola in the Philharmonic\, her mother is a well-regarded opera singer\, her beloved and charismatic older brother holds the neighborhood in his thrall\, and most of her eccentric and wonderful extended family live nearby. Only vaguely aware of Hitler's rise or how her Jewish heritage will define her family's identity\, Orly s pends her days immersed in play with her best friend and upstairs neighbor \, Anneliese. Together they dream up vivid and elaborate worlds\, where th ey can escape the growing tensions around them.\n\nBut in 1938\, Orly's pe aceful life is shattered when the Germans arrive. Her older brother flees Vienna first\, and soon Orly\, her father\, and her mother procure refugee visas for La Paz\, a city high up in the Bolivian Andes. Even as the numb er of Jewish refugees in the small community grows\, her family is haunted by the music that can no longer be their livelihood\, and by the family a nd friends they left behind. While Orly and her father find their footing in the mountains\, Orly's mother grows even more distant\, harboring a sec ret that could put their family at risk again. Years pass\, the war ends\, and Orly must decide: Is the love and adventure she has found in La Paz w hat defines home\, or is the pull of her past in Europe--and the piece of her heart she left with Anneliese--too strong to ignore?\n\nZoom link will be sent upon registering.\n\nRegistration is open to \;WL members&nbs p\;(in the USA &\; Canada)\, you must log in (https://www.wlcjmembers.o rg/member_login.php) to register for this program.

However\, it is also a day to reflect on how traged y can birth transformation. Did you know that Jewish tradition viewed the universe as God’s Temple\, and the Temple in Jerusalem\, as a microcosm of Earth? There are many different expressions of this idea. For example\, the chamber of the Holy of Holies represented the heavens\, the sacrifici al altar represented the land\, and the cast metal sea ( ים מוצק ) t hat is described in the book of Kings represented the ocean.\n\nToday Eart h itself is threatened by climate change. This Tisha B’av we can take ac tion to accelerate the transformation that is already underway by advocati ng for policies to clean up the pollution caused by fossil fuels\, build r enewable energy capacity\, and further equity by investing in communities that have suffered the most from the energy systems of the past.  \;\n \nYou can make a difference as we approach this Tisha B’av by joining ot her members of our community to meet with our Members of Congress.
