December Board Meeting via Zoom
December Board Meeting via Zoom
Join us on Tuesday, December 9 at 12:00 PM CST for Isolationism, Immigration, and the World Watching, a compelling presentation by Dr. Daniel Greene, Adjunct Professor of History at Northwestern University and an expert on American responses to the Holocaust. Hosted by the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, this program examines the United States’ reaction to Hitler’s rise to power and the persecution of Jews, focusing specifically on restrictive immigration policy, isolationist sentiment, and the consequences of American inaction.
Community Canvas at The J is our signature collaborative art project, bringing together local organizations to explore Jewish values through creativity while strengthening community connections. Each year, we highlight a Jewish value and ask local nonprofits to interpret its meaning artistically. We then host an exhibit of all the artworks, inviting the community to contemplate the chosen value while learning about the missions of various Birmingham organizations. This year, our theme is L’dor V’dor | From Generation to Generation, celebrating the passing of knowledge, tradition, and values across generations. How does your organization embody this idea? What stories, lessons, or visions do you hope to pass on? Join us for the gallery open with original works of art from various area non profits interpreting L'dor V'dor. Have a glass of wine, a bite of cheese, and enter a shared dialogue about legacy, impact, and community.
