UM Frankel Center Event: 30th Belin Lecture: “It Can Happen Here”: Antisemitism, Gender, and the American Past
2020-11-10 19:00 - 20:00
30th David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs
It Can Happen Here”: Antisemitism, Gender, and the American Past
Pamela Nadell, American University
In 1942, an anonymous “Jewess,” looking across the ocean, wrote “It Can Happen Here.” Her cri de coeur, published in a New York women’s magazine, pled with its readers to bring to an end to the “ever-increasing prejudice” she and her family faced. With antisemitism rising today at home and abroad, American University Professor Pamela Nadell, author of the award-winning America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today, discusses American Jewish women in the past facing antisemitism, how it affected their lives, and how they responded.

JYP's Baking Club Makes Apple Challah - In Two Parts
2020-11-12 - 2020-11-13
Join JYP’s Baking Club for a virtual baking event – this month we’ll be making apple and honey challah! This is a great way to use leftover apples, for those of us that went apple picking a few weeks ago. This challah is ideal for Rosh Hashanah, though it’s obviously too late for that! At least we’ll all know how to make it for next year…
The event will take place in two parts; you can sign up for one or both. If you’d like to join for both, you can put the challah dough in the fridge overnight.

1. Make the dough
Thursday, November 12th at 7 pm
2. Braid the challah
Friday, November 13th at 3 pm
