For such a Time as This: on Being Jewish Today, by Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove

Facilitated by Penina Haber, NON-FICTION

A poignant exploration of what it means to be Jewish today, from a leading voice in modern Judaism, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of Park Avenue Synagogue.

Knitting together storytelling with ancient teachings, Rabbi Cosgrove helps navigate and understand the landscape of this new reality, turning over questions that have no clear or easy answer in the way only a very good rabbi can.

For thousands of years, the Jewish people have wrestled with what it means to be Jewish. In this often divisive era, Rabbi Cosgrove reminds of how we can come together despite—and even because of—our differences. For Such a Time as This is a guide for a new generation that is reconciling the past with the present and facing the unknown future with courage, spirit, and unwavering hope.

 Please RSVP for dinner. There is NO cost to attend.  Dinner begins at 6:30pm. Program begins at 7:00pm

The Hamas War's Effects on Israel's Strategic Relations in the Middle East and With U.S. Jewry

The war had unmistakable impacts on both realms. Were they temporary or transformative? In the coming months and years, what are the observable signs that will tell us that Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran have significantly changed their outlooks toward Israel? What preliminary conclusions may be made about the war's impact upon American Jewish views (embrace and distancing) of Israel among different demographics?

Michael Eisenstadt is the Kahn Senior Fellow and director of the Military and Security Studies Program at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. A specialist on Arab-Israeli and Persian Gulf security affairs, he has published widely on irregular and conventional warfare, and nuclear weapons proliferation in the Middle East. Prior to joining the Institute in 1989, Mr. Eisenstadt worked as a military analyst with the U.S. government. He also served for twenty-six years as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve, including deployments to Iraq, Turkey, and Israel, before retiring from the reserves in 2010. He is a scholar of Jewish and Islamic History.

The Cure for Women:  Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi and the Challenge to Victorian Medicine That Changed Women’s Lives Forever, by Lydia Reeder

Facilitated by Cheryl Hecht, NON-FICTION

How Victorian male doctors used false science to argue that women were unfit for anything but motherhood—and the brilliant doctor who defied them.  Into the midst of this turmoil marched tiny, dynamic Mary Putnam Jacobi, daughter of New York publisher George Palmer Putnam and the first woman to be accepted into the world-renowned Sorbonne medical school in Paris. As one of the best-educated doctors in the world, she returned to New York for the fight of her life. Aided by other prominent women physicians and suffragists, Jacobi conducted the first-ever data-backed, scientific research on women's reproductive biology. The results of her studies shook the foundations of medical science and higher education.
