SUMMARY:Author works: Michael Twitty: KosherSoul: The Faith and Food Journey of an African American Jew
DESCRIPTION:This event is In-Person at HCLS\, Miller Branch. Please register to attend. Limited seats. \n\nIn KOSHERSOUL\, Michael Twitty\, James Beard award-winning author of the acclaimed The Cooking Gene\, explores the cultural crossroads of Jewish and African diaspora cuisine and issues of memory\, identity\, and food. \n\nMichael examines the creation of African/Jewish global food as a conversation of migrations\, a dialogue of diasporas and rich background for intimate and probing recipes for the people who create it. At the same time\, he shares recipes for Southern culinary touchstones like apple barbecue sauce\, watermelon and feta salad\, and collard green lasagna\, while blending the traditions of his mixed identity into new creations such as Louisiana style latkes and kush. KOSHERSOUL is not just a recipe book\, but an exploration of selfhood when born at a crossroads of race. \nThe question here is not just who makes the food and who it belongs to\, but how the food makes the people\, reflecting the journey\, and validating the existence of these marginalized identities. Twitty aims to move our vision beyond the idea of Jews of Color as outliers\, but as significant and meaningful cultural creators in both Black and Jewish civilizations. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMichael W. Twitty is the author of The Cooking Gene\, winner of the James Beard award for writing about food and the Book of the Year. He is a highly sought after speaker and consultant (Colonial Williamsburg)\, and a member of three speaker’s bureaus. \nHe has appeared on programs with Andrew Zimmern (Bizzare Foods America)\, Henry Louis Gates (Many Rivers to Cross)\, Padma Lakshmi (Taste the Nation) and most recently on Michelle Obama’s Waffles and Mochi. \nHe is a TED Fellow and was just named as a National Geographic Emerging Explorer. His first MasterClass course\, “Tracing Your Roots Through Food\,” is now available. Over the past year he has partnered with Atlas Obscura to teach multiple online seminars and was the first guest on a new web series for their food division\, Gastro Obscura. Michael will also be a Consulting Producer on a new food competition program coming soon from OWN\, and his line of personal spice blends with the boutique supplier Spice Tribe regularly sells out. He lives in Fredericksburg\, Virginia. \nREGISTER HERE \nThis event is in Partnership with Jewish Federation of Howard County and the Baltimore Jewish Council.

SUMMARY:The End of Roe v. Wade? A Jewish Perspective on Reproductive Rights and What This Could Mean for Our Country
DESCRIPTION:**Please note: There will be a Q&A section at the end\, but you must be in person to ask a question.** \nThe leaked draft opinion in the case of Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization strongly suggests that the forthcoming Supreme Court decision will upend the national legal landscape with regard to availability of abortion services and could affect access to other forms of reproductive health services. There are also potential impacts on other protections founded in the right to privacy. Many Jewish organizations\, including the Rabbinical Assembly and the Cantors Assembly as well as the Reform and Reconstructionist movements\, recently cosponsored the May 17 Jewish Rally for Abortion Justice with the National Council for Jewish Women. As this issue has national importance and is also of great importance within the Jewish community\, we are offering this program as an opportunity to share information and explore both what Jewish law has to say and what are the legal and medical implications of the forthcoming decision. \nWe will hear perspectives from three speakers: \nRabbi Debi Wechsler of Chizuk Amuno Congregation will present a rabbinic perspective through Jewish texts with respect\nto reproductive issues including when abortion is halakhically permitted\, and how the needs of both fetus and mother are prioritized within Jewish law. \nSharon Krevor-Weisbaum\, Esq.\, Managing Partner at Brown\, Goldstein & Levy\, will discuss from a legal perspective how the forthcoming Supreme Court decision may impact access to abortion in Maryland and across the country and its potential implications on   other critically important Constitutional rights. \nDr. Chavi Kahn\, Director of Abortion Services for Planned Parenthood of Maryland\, will address the perspective of health care professionals who provide reproductive health services\, including how this decision will impact people who become pregnant\, their families\, and health care providers\, with particular focus on underserved populations who are already affected by disparities in access to health care. \nMODERATED BY:\nSally Grant\, a former President of the Board of Maryland ACLU and member of the National Board of ACLU\, a past Chair of the Maryland Commission for Women\, and a long-time member of Chizuk Amuno Congregation. \nThis program is presented by Chizuk Amuno Congregation and cosponsored by: Baltimore Hebrew Congregation\, Bolton Street Synagogue\, Chevrei Tzedek\, Beth Israel Congregation\, Congregation Beth Am\, Baltimore Jewish Cultural Chavurah\, Hinenu\, Jews of Color Mishpacha Project\, Repair the World-Baltimore\, The Gordon Center for Performing Arts\, Baltimore Jewish Council\, Jewish Community Center of Baltimore\, and Har Sinai-Oheb Shalom Congregation. \nRegister HERE
