Experts: Panel to include: Dr. Victor Lieberman\, Dr. Richard Primus\, Rabbi Josh Whinston\, and Amichay Findling as moderator. DESCRIPTION:Photo exhibition and artist discussion with Erez Kaganovich \nSchedule on Thursday\, October 8\, 2026: \n6:15-7:00pm Photography Exhibition open for viewing \n7:00-8:00pm Commemoration Program featuring guest speaker\, photographer Erez Kaganovitz\, with community musicians and poetry reading \n8:00-8:45pm Photography Exhibition open for viewing. Free and open to the public \nFrom the artist: \nSince the horrendous and devastating attack on Israel my world\, like many others in Israel and around the world stopped. It seems like not only Israel won’t be the same after this brutal attack but also the whole Jewish world. Since the October 7th horrific attack\, the incitement on the streets and on social media fueled antisemitism and misconceptions about Israel and the Jewish people at large. As an artist and a photojournalist\, I feel it’s imperative to fight back against these misconceptions and rising antisemitism by showing the Human side of Israel. From my experience\, highlighting the Human elements of Israel can provide a reminder of what Israeli society is all about and what we are actually fighting for. To do so I’ve created the Humans of October 7th project: The ‘Humans of October 7th’ project is an ongoing project that brings to light the human stories of the unique Israelis who stood up against terrorism. It shows the Israeli D.N.A. at its best and shows the incredible spirit and resilience of the Israeli people. In 2024 the project will travel across the world as a traveling exhibition in museums\, US campuses\, and Jewish communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEducational \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial Guest \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnglish Speaking \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking (free) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized By\n\n\n\n\n\nJewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoint of Contact\n\n\nAmichay Findling \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThu Oct 8\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6:15 PM – 8:45 PM EDT                                                              URL:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/event/israeli-election-series-2026-an-in-depth-exploration-of-israels-election-process-and-the-major-political-issues-at-play-this-fall-experts-panel-to-include-dr-victor-lieberman-dr-richard-prim/ CATEGORIES:Community,Educational,Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor,Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor - General,Jewish Holidays END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261013T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261013T200000 DTSTAMP:20260820T183017Z CREATED:20260820T183017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260820T183017Z UID:10006343-1791914400-1791921600@www.jewishannarbor.org SUMMARY:A Conversation with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel DESCRIPTION:Details and registration link coming soon URL:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/event/a-conversation-with-michigan-attorney-general-dana-nessel/ LOCATION:EMU Student Center\, 900 Oakwood St\, Ypsilanti\, MI\, 48197\, United States CATEGORIES:Advocacy,Center for Jewish Studies - EMU,College Students,Community,Educational,Politics & Current Affairs ORGANIZER;CN="EMU Center for Jewish Studies":MAILTO:jewish.studies@emich.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261015T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261015T210000 DTSTAMP:20260929T163502Z CREATED:20260929T163502Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260929T163502Z UID:10006388-1792047600-1792098000@www.jewishannarbor.org SUMMARY:Israeli Election Series 2026 DESCRIPTION:  \n \nRegistrants may attend all sessions\, this is a three-part series: October 15\, October 27\, November 8. \n  URL:https://www.jewishannarbor.org/event/israeli-election-series-2026/2026-10-15/ CATEGORIES:Advocacy,Beth Israel Congregation,Community,Educational,Israel,Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor,Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor - General,Politics & Current Affairs,Presentation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261017T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261017T120000 DTSTAMP:20260827T144113Z CREATED:20260827T144113Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260827T144113Z UID:10006351-1792234800-1792238400@www.jewishannarbor.org SUMMARY:Beth Israel Tot Shabbat DESCRIPTION:Join us for a playful morning of Jewish songs and stories.
