SUMMARY:The Map. The Compass. The Moment. The Middle East Two Years After October 7
DESCRIPTION:The Levite Jewish Community Center and The Birmingham Jewish Federation and Foundation are partnering to present this unique learning opportunity to the community.  \nWe are living in a moment defined by confusion and confrontation. People aren’t looking for more narratives\, noise\, or opinions. They’re looking for clarity\, context\, and trusted education that helps them make sense of a complicated world. \nThat is what Avi Melamed\, founder of Inside The Middle East (ITME)\, delivers. \nThis isn’t just a talk — it’s a real-time intelligence briefing from Avi Melamed – a former Israeli intelligence official\, Senior Arab Affairs Advisor\, author\, and trusted educator\, designed to help audiences understand Israel through the broader lens of the Middle East. \nTwo years after October 7\, the region is still feeling the domino effect of that day — across Gaza\, Lebanon\, Syria\, the West Bank\, Jordan\, Iraq\, Iran\, the Gulf States\, and beyond. In The Map. The Compass. The Moment.\, Avi connects the dots between today’s headlines and the deeper forces shaping them – helping audiences see not just what’s happening\, but where it’s leading. \nUsing ITME’s signature method\, Avi explores: \n\nHow did we get here?\nWhere are we now?\nWhere are we going?\n\nAvi guides audiences toward a deeper understanding of Israel and its neighbors — exploring the regional dynamics driving both instability and the potential for change. \nThis is not advocacy or politics — it is authentic\, apolitical education. Avi doesn’t tell audiences what to think; he teaches them how to think critically\, ask better questions\, and engage in meaningful conversations about Israel and the Middle East with confidence and clarity. \nThis program concludes with a live Q&A\, customized to reflect current developments in real time. \nAt ITME\, we believe one thing above all: to understand Israel\, you must understand the Middle East. Through authentic\, apolitical education\, we help people move from confusion to clarity and from confrontation to connection — empowering them to engage with confidence\, courage\, and critical thinking.

SUMMARY:Freedom Song - A Story of Recovery - TEE
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this meaningful presentation of the play\, “Freedom Song”\, brought to us by Beit T\,shuvah ~ a recovery organization based on Jewish values located in Los Angeles\, California. \n  \nFreedom Song is a transformative musical that shatters the myth of Jews being immune to addiction by interweaving the story of Passover and personal stories of addiction. The cast is made up of addicts in recovery from drugs\, alcohol\, gambling\, and other destructive behaviors. Through songs\, dance\, tears\, laughter\, and post-show discussion with the cast\, Freedom Song will open your eyes to the real-life struggle against the ‘bondage of self’ that we all fight every day.

SUMMARY:Matilda Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Matilda JR is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents\, Matilda finds refuge in library books\, which she reads quickly and in creating her own stories. Things are no better at school\, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress\, Miss Trunchbull\, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum\,” or “Children are Maggots.” She finds companionship in her teacher\, Miss Honey\, who\, though well-intentioned\, is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world\, and in doing so\, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson — that even though life can be hard\, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.” \n  \nDoors open 30 minutes before show time. Show runs a little over an hour. Directed by Alie B. Gorrie and Assitant Directed by Kristin Staskowski.

SUMMARY:Matilda Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Matilda JR is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents\, Matilda finds refuge in library books\, which she reads quickly and in creating her own stories. Things are no better at school\, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress\, Miss Trunchbull\, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum\,” or “Children are Maggots.” She finds companionship in her teacher\, Miss Honey\, who\, though well-intentioned\, is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world\, and in doing so\, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson — that even though life can be hard\, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.” \n  \nDoors open 30 minutes before show time. Show runs a little over an hour. Directed by Alie B. Gorrie and Assitant Directed by Kristin Staskowski.
