SUMMARY:2nd Annual Living the Jewish American Experience Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, January 8\, 2026\nTime: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM\nLocation: Dell JCC \nJoin us for the second annual Living the American Jewish Experience lecture featuring Dr. Dean P. Bell\, President and CEO of the Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership\, who will speak on “Jews Have Never Lived in a Vacuum: Interreligious Engagement and the American Jewish Experience”. \nAn expert on the history of Jews’ interactions with other religions and groups\, Dr. Bell will use that lens to present new ways to think about interreligious engagements for today and the future. \nSince arriving in New Amsterdam (now Manhattan\, NY) in 1654\, Jews have been actively engaged in\, and significantly affected\, by the broader social\, economic\, political\, cultural\, and religious trends and developments around them.  They have experienced significant accomplishments as well as significant challenges. Jews’ thinking about their religion and their relationships with other Jews and non-Jews have evolved as they have navigated their place in a democratic and generally welcoming American society. \nToday\, the age-old concerns of Jews and their communities are often front-page news. Dr. Bell will offer us an insightful perspective of a 372-year journey as America begins to celebrate 250 years since declaring its independence and establishing itself as a place where\, for the for first time in the modern era\, Jews might enjoy all the rights and privileges of all other citizens. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Zionism and Anti-Zionism: The History of Two Opposing Ideas
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in many decades\, the debate between Zionism and anti-Zionism seems to be at the center of public discourse throughout America and the West. But what are the fundamental beliefs\, assumptions\, and narratives behind these two opposing ideas? Why do some embrace the idea of a state for the Jewish people\, while others so passionately resist it? Rabbi Ellie Steinman will lead this class that will include specialized content from Dr. Einat Wilf—a former member of Israel’s parliament and a scholar of Zionist thought—and Zoé Tara Zeigherman a filmmaker and former Tikvah fellow. No prior knowledge is necessary as\, together\, we explore this topic together.

SUMMARY:Dads' Night Out: Intergenerational Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, January 20\, 2026\nTime: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM\nLocation: Dell JCC \nJoin Rabbi Dan Ain and local dads for a special Dads’ Night Out in collaboration with Shalom Austin’s Wise Guys. \nRabbi Alan Freedman\, rabbi emeritus of Temple Beth Shalom\, and Rabbi Ain will lead a conversation across the generations to share wisdom\, insight and perspective that can often be lost when we hang out with only our friends or peer groups. \nRabbi Freedman will share his perspective on becoming a second career Rabbi and offer lessons that cannot be accessed over a large language model. How do we rewrite the story of our lives? How can we maintain a growth mindset once we’ve hit midlife? And what unseen and unknown joys are we overlooking? \nPlease come with questions\, answers\, and an openness to listening across the generations. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:AJFF Presents: Elie Wiesel-Soul on Fire
DESCRIPTION:“Sometimes I’m afraid the tale might be forgotten. Sometimes I’m afraid it is forgotten already.” Told primarily through his own eloquent words\, the film seeks to understand the man behind the searing and widely read memoir Night. Penetrating at the heart of the known and unknown\, the film dives into the author’s legacy as one of the most influential survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: An exceptional biography of one of the best known survivors of the Shoah. A special event for International Holocaust Remembrance Day.\n\n\n\nBONUS PROGRAMMING: Post film discussion and Q&A with Marc Winkelman\, close personal friend of Elie Wiesel.
