SUMMARY:Jewish Book Series: Milena and Margarete with Gwen Strauss
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the JCC on **Tuesday\, April 7** from **5-6:30 PM** for an\nin-person visit from Gwen Strauss\, author of _Milena and Margarete: A Love\nStory in Ravensbrück._ \n**_Book Blurb_** \nFrom the moment they met in 1940 in Ravensbrück concentration camp\, Milena\nJesenska and Margarete Buber-Neumann were inseparable. Czech Milena was\nKafka’s first translator and epistolary lover\, and a journalist opposed to\nfascism. A non-conformist\, bi-sexual feminist\, she was way ahead of her time.\nWith the German occupation of Czechoslovakia\, her home became a central\nmeeting place for Jewish refugees. German Margarete\, born to a middle-class\nfamily\, married the son of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. But soon swept\nup in the fervor of the Bolshevik Revolution\, she met her second partner\, the\nCommunist Heinz Neumann. Called to Moscow for his “political deviations\,” he\nfell victim to Stalin’s purges while Margarete was exiled to the hell of the\nSoviet gulag. Two years later\, traded by Stalin to Hitler\, she ended up\noutside Berlin in Ravensbrück\, the only concentration camp built for women. \nMilena and Margarete loved each other at the risk of their lives. But in the\npost-war survivors’ accounts\, lesbians were stigmatized\, and survivors kept\nsilent. This book explores those silences\, and finally celebrates two strong\nwomen who never gave up and continue to inspire. As Margaret wrote: “I was\nthankful for having been sent to Ravensbrück\, because it was there I met\nMilena.” \n _JCC community events and programs are open to all regardless of faith or\nbackground. All are welcome._ \nOrganized by: JCC of Greater Ann Arbor \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14347

SUMMARY:U-M Frankel Center Event: 36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture
DESCRIPTION:“Orthodox Jewish Wellness Influencers in the Age of Viral Politics” with Ayala Fader (Fordham University) \nThursday\, March 26 from 5:30 – 8:00 PM \nMichigan Union\, Pendleton Room \nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/15PN8 \nThe University of Michigan Frankel Center for Judaic Studies is pleased to announce that Professor Ayala Fader of Fordham University will deliver the 36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture\, titled “Orthodox Jewish Wellness Influencers in the Age of Viral Politics.” This free\, public lecture will take place in the Pendleton Room of the Michigan Union on Thursday\, March 26\, 2026. Please RSVP at https://myumi.ch/15PN8 to let us know if you plan to attend. \nOver the past decade\, frum (Orthodox) Jewish women wellness influencers on social media have become a significant presence. Despite attempts by some rabbis to silence them\, frum influencers in the United States and Israel continue to share intimate details of their everyday lives online\, earning a living through the promotion of products linked to their platforms. Professor Fader’s talk examines the seemingly contradictory worlds these influencers navigate: while claiming new forms of gendered authority\, they simultaneously reinforce traditional Jewish family structures and gender roles. \nDrawing inspiration from conservative Christian wellness influencers\, frum influencers create content that asserts Jewish exceptionalism while fostering unexpected exchanges with conservative Christian women. The lecture will consider whether frum social media influencers are subtly promoting illiberal politics through the gendered language of wellness. \nAyala Fader is Professor of Anthropology and Jewish Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of the award-winning books Mitzvah Girls (2009) and Hidden Heretics (2020). Professor Fader’s research has been generously supported by numerous fellowships and grants\, including those from the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. As the founding director of Fordham’s New York Center for Public Anthropology & Sociology\, she leads the Demystifying Language Project\, which makes linguistic anthropology a social justice resource for public high schools. \nThe David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs was established in 1991 through a generous gift from the late David W. Belin of Des Moines (IA) and New York to provide an academic forum for the discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States. As the founding chair of Reform Judaism’s Outreach Commission and a founding member of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous\, Belin served the American Jewish community in numerous leadership roles. His commitment to the future of American Jewry inspired him to endow this annual lectureship\, providing a forum for meaningful discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States.

SUMMARY:Jewish Book Series: Lunch & Learn with Ayelet Tsabari
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the JCC on **Thursday\, March 26** from **12:00-1:30 PM** for\nan in-person Lunch & Learn and a virtual visit from Ayelet Tsabari\, the author\nof _Songs for the Brokenhearted: A Novel._ Enjoy a delicious Yemeni lunch\nwhile listening to Ayelet speak about her book over Zoom. **Lunch starts at\nnoon\, author talk begins promptly at 12:30 PM.** \nThis event is part of the JCC’s ongoing **Book Series** \, where visiting\nJewish authors give talks on their work to bring new ideas and literature to\nthe community. **The cost of this program is $12.50/person.** This program is\nsponsored by ORT. Zoom available upon request. \n_JCC community events and programs are open to all regardless of faith or\nbackground. All are welcome._ \n**_Book Blurb_** \n1950. Thousands of Yemeni Jews have immigrated to the newly founded Israel in\nsearch of a better life. In an overcrowded immigrant camp in Rosh Ha’ayin\,\nYaqub\, a shy young man\, happens upon Saida\, a beautiful girl singing by the\nriver. In the midst of chaos and uncertainty\, they fall in love. But they\nweren’t supposed to; Saida is married and has a child\, and a married woman has\nno place befriending another man. \n1995. Thirty-something Zohara\, Saida’s daughter\, has been living in New York\nCity—a city that feels much less complicated than Israel\, where she grew up\nwishing that her skin was lighter\, that her illiterate mother’s Yemeni music\nwas quieter\, and that the father who always favored her was alive. She hasn’t\nlooked back since leaving home\, rarely in touch with her mother or sister\,\nLizzie\, and missing out on her nephew Yoni’s childhood. But when Lizzie calls\nto tell her their mother has died\, she gets on a plane to Israel with no\nreturn ticket. \nSoon Zohara finds herself on an unexpected path that leads to shocking truths\nabout her family—including dangers that lurk for impressionable young men and\nsecrets that force her to question everything she thought she knew about her\nparents\, her heritage\, and her own future. \nOrganized by: JCC of Greater Ann Arbor \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14346
