SUMMARY:Shuk to the Core - Israel Vendor Fair
DESCRIPTION:The BJC is joining with partners from across the community to help sponsor “Shuk to the Core” at Beth Tfiloh on Wednesday\, December 4\, from 3 to 9 p.m. Approximately 40 Israeli merchants who have been severely impacted by the current situation in Israel will be making Baltimore their first stop on a 3-week tour of U.S. Jewish communities. \nAreyvut has been sponsoring Israel Vendor Fairs in New York and New Jersey since October 7th as a way to provide much-needed financial support to the many Israeli vendors who are dependent on sales to Israeli tourists and are currently desperate for customers.

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

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. These stories are the products of extensive interviews with survivors\, the bereaved\, and first responders in Israel and beyond. At a time when people are seeking a deeper understanding of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how internal political turmoil in Israel has affected it\, 10/7 takes a fresh approach\, offering answers through the stories of everyday people\, those who lived tenuously on the border with Gaza.  \nThe Baltimore Jewish Council invites you to a conversation with Lee who will share some of the stories she heard and speak about her experience of writing this book and the insights she gained. 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. In the event you have purchased a book in advance and then are unable to attend the program\, we will make arrangements for you to receive your book. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

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

SUMMARY:Healing a Nation: Israeli Trauma Initiatives Post-October 7

SUMMARY:Transportation Pilot Program Grants
DESCRIPTION:Notice of Funding Availability: Grants for Nonpublic Students Transportation Pilot Program in FY26\nMaryland’s Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget has appropriated $250\,000 in special funds from the Transportation Trust Fund for program J00A01.02 Operating Grants-In-Aid within the Office of the Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary’s or the purpose of providing a grant to the Recipient to develop a pilot project to increase transportation opportunities for K-12 students not already being bused by public school systems. The pilot program\, which is intended to mitigate traffic congestion in the region\, is limited to transportation involving schools and/or students in Baltimore County. The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore\, and its constituent agency\, the Baltimore Jewish Council\, were designated in the budget to administer this pilot program. \nKey Dates:\nApplication Period Opens: Wednesday\, July 16\, 2025\nInformational Zoom Webinar: Friday\, July 25\, 2025\, 10:30 a.m.\nApplication Due Date: Wednesday\, August 6\, 2025\, 5 p.m.\nGrant Decision Announcement: Wednesday\, August 20\, 2025 \nEligibility – Any nonprofit – whether a school\, a consortium of schools\, or other institution – is eligible to apply. Transportation must involve schools located in Baltimore County and/or students living in Baltimore County. \nApplication – Interested nonprofits should apply to the Baltimore Jewish Council (a constituent agency of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore). \nApplications must be submitted no later than Wednesday\, August 6\, at 5 p.m.\, via email to transportationgrant@associated.org. \nThe application – a maximum of 1\,500 words – should include: \n\nThe school(s) to be served by the expanded busing.\nThe amount of grant funding requested.\nHow many additional students will be bussed as a result of a grant award.\nHow the grant funds will be spent in order to achieve the increased number of students bused.\nDiscussion of environmental impact if the grant were to be awarded.\nAny characteristics of the applicant that would apply to the equity considerations\, such as the applicant’s eligibility to participate in Maryland’s BOOST scholarship program.\n\nSelection – The goal of the grant funding is to supplement\, not supplant current funds allocated to busing. The Baltimore Jewish Council (on behalf of The Associated) will rate each application based on the following factors ranked on a 50-point scale: \n\nHow Many Additional Students Will Be Bused – To meet the goal of bussing as many additional students as possible. This should be measured in terms of student trips – busing one student to or from school one day would count as a single student trip. (15 pts)\nEfficiency of Grant Award – Dollars spent per student trip. (15 pts)\nExplanation of Environmental Impact – Details of expected positive environmental impacts of increased busing for additional students. (10 pts)\nFeasibility of Approach – To assure that spending the funding will actually result in additional students being bused. (5 pts)\nOther Equity Considerations – Such as distributing impact to multiple schools in diverse regions within the county or focusing impact on school eligible to participate in the BOOST program. (5 pts)\n\nDecisions – Awards to be announced by Wednesday\, August 20\, 2025. The Baltimore Jewish Council (on behalf of The Associated) will select the highest-rated applicants to receive up to a maximum of $125\,000 per applicant. Applicants will be informed of their selection and have ten business days to confirm their interest and sign a grant agreement. The selected applicants\, or the subcontractors they intend to use to provide the transportation\, must provide proof of necessary insurance coverage\, including commercial general liability and automobile liability. \nBus Route Operation – Beginning in September\, awardees will begin providing services along the established routes for the awardees. Awardees will be reimbursed by the Baltimore Jewish Council (on behalf of The Associated) following the submission of quarterly invoices as services are delivered. \nReporting – By December 31\, 2025\, awardees will provide an interim report on the program\, including metrics on results and costs\, to the Baltimore Jewish Council to inform deliberations during the 2026 legislative session. An updated report will be provided by June 30\, 2026\, reflecting a full year of operations and impact. \nAdditional information – The Associated/Baltimore Jewish Council will post all of the information to the BJC website. (www.baltjc.org) \nA webinar to answer questions was held on Friday\, July 25\, at 10:30 a.m. Click here to watch a recording of the webinar. https://youtu.be/rnjMyedQm20 \nQuestions may also be submitted via email at transportationgrant@associated.org.
