SUMMARY:FED Fighting\, Surviving\, Rebuilding: An Evening with Oct. 7 Survivors\, Jenny and Oz
DESCRIPTION:Come hear the survivor story of Jenny\, Oz\, and their children\, residents of Kibbutz Zikim.  Their presentation will be followed by opportunities to engage together for processing and offering messages of hope. Light refreshments will be served. \nAbout Jenny and Oz Naor\n     Jenny and Oz Naor are Kibbutz members from Kibbutz Zikim\, survivors from the October 7th brutal attack on the south of Israel. \n     Jenny is an IT director for NGO “Or Shalom.” Oz is a tech and operations Project manager at the Weitzman institute. They are parents of 3: Maya (10)\, Bar (8) and Ofir (4). \nOz was born in Kibbutz Zikim\, a grandson of the Kibbutz founders. He has lived there all his life. Jenny joined the Kibbutz shortly after her military service when meeting Oz. The young couple built a life together and started a family in the quiet Kibbutz located on the south beaches in Israel. \n     On October 7\, Jenny and Oz woke up to a life changing event when a brutal attack occurred on the Kibbutz as terrorists came through from the sea. Oz\, the squad leader of the civilian guard\, fought bravely with his squad and was able to block the attack and overpower the terrorists. He helped repel the terrorists while dozens of families\, including his own\, were locked in safe rooms in their houses for hours\, cut off from cellular reception\, and unaware of what was happening outside and how deadly this day would be. Although the battle in Kibbutz Zikim ended in a small victory\, the attack was deadly in other kibbutzes\, resulting in a personal tragedy. \n     Before engaging in IT careers\, Oz and Jenny were community Shlichim in Akron – Canton Ohio for 3 years (2010 -2013) and are familiar with public speaking engagements in English. Jenny\, Oz and their children are coming for a short visit to Ohio to share their story of the October 7th events. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:BIC: Beth Israel Presents Rabbi Sharon Brous in conversation with Rav Nadav Caine
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome Rabbi Sharon Brous. Febraury 20th at 6 pm in the sanctuary at BIC\, she will discuss her latest book in conversation with Rav Nadav Caine and sign copies. Registration required. UM and EMU students\, teens\, and members will receive a free copy of the book\, “The Amen Effect”\, non-members can purchase for $10\, as well as anyone wanting an additional copy. \nABOUT THE AMEN EFFECT \nFrom one of our country’s most prominent rabbis\, an inspiring book about the power of community based on one of her most impactful sermons.In a time of loneliness and isolation\, social rupture and alienation\, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our society?Sharon Brous—a leading American rabbi—makes the case that the spiritual work of our time\, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural\, is to find our way to one other in celebration\, in sorrow\, and in solidarity. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain\, vulnerability and possibility\, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care.Brous contends that it is through honoring our most basic human instinct– the yearning for real connection– that we reawaken our shared humanity and begin to heal. This kind of sacred presence is captured by the word amen\, a powerful ancient idea that we affirm the fullness of one another’s experience by demonstrating\, in body and word: “I see you. You are not alone.” \nAn acclaimed preacher and story-teller\, Brous pairs heart-driven anecdotes from her experience building and pastoring to a leading-edge faith community over the past two decades with ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary science. The result is a clarion call: the sense of belonging engendered by our genuine presence is not only a social and biological need\, but a moral and spiritual necessity. \nWith original insights and practical tools\, The Amen Effect translates foundational ideas into simple practices that connect us to our better angels\, offering a blueprint for a more meaningful life and a more connected and caring world.
