SUMMARY:Navigating the New College Year: Addressing Antisemitism on Campus

With incidents of antisemitism on the rise\, it’s crucial that we come together to equip ourselves and our students with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate these challenges.

This session will provide valuable insights into the current landscape of antisemitism on campuses\, practical advice on how to respond to incidents as community members\, and ways to build stronger support networks for our students. \nThis is an essential opportunity to learn about the ways the Federation system is supporting and empowering students as they embark on their college journey.

They will bring a wide range of merchandise\, including art\, jewelry\, Judaica\, Kippot\, crafts\, books and more. Falafel and pizza will be available for purchase\, and there will be supervised children’s activities from 5-9 pm. \nThere is a $5 admission charge for adults ($18 max per family) attending the Shuk to help subsidize vendors’ air fare and the cost of shipping their merchandise to the U.S. Timed entry tickets are recommended to be purchased in advance to assist with crowd control and parking. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Maryland Premiere of the Torn Documentary & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:‘Torn’ delves into the heart of the controversy surrounding the ‘KIDNAPPED’ poster campaign\, which turned New York City’s streets into unexpected battlegrounds for pro-Israel and pro-Palestine activists.

SUMMARY:10/7: 100 Human Stories
DESCRIPTION:10/7: 100 Human Stories\nMonday\, December 16\, 2024 \n6:30pm – 8:00pm \nBeth El Congregation – Myers Auditorium \nCost: $10 (includes a subsidized copy of the book) or free of charge if not purchasing a book \nThe recently published book 10/7: 100 Human Stories is a masterful work of investigative journalism by acclaimed Haaretz reporter Lee Yaron\, chronicling the October 7 massacre that ignited a war through the stories of more than 100 civilians.

A book signing will follow the program. \nA subsidized copy of the book can be purchased in advance for $10 or on the night for $15 (cash only – retail price $30).* \nQuestions? Contact Kate McDonald (kmcdonald@baltjc.org) \n\n* Please note this is an in-person program only.

SUMMARY:Even Still?: Haredim and the Draft since October 7
DESCRIPTION:In a landmark decision on June 25\, the Israeli High Court ruled unanimously that since June 2023—when the last draft-exemption law expired—no legal mechanism exists to exempt Haredim from the draft and the government must work to enlist them immediately. In the months since\, this decision and the outcry that it prompted from the Ultra-Orthodox community have continued to make the headlines. The human costs of fighting a multifront war since October 7 have only intensified the debate. \nThe BJC invites you to join a webinar with Professor Noah Efron\, author of Real Jews: Secular vs. Ultra-Orthodox and the Struggle for Jewish Identity in Israel\, who will unpack the history of the Haredi draft exemption law\, the significance of the High Court’s decision\, and the ways in which it has been received by different segments of Israeli society. \nREGISTER HERE
