SUMMARY:POSTPONED: JFS - Landing in Austin: How Can I Support My Child Through the Transition A Conversation with Professionals
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED. A NEW DATE/TIME WILL BE PROVIDED ONCE AVAILABLE.\nPresented by Shalom Austin Jewish Family Service: \nMoving to the United States brings many changes for children as well—a new language\, a different environment\, and a shifting routine. In an open conversation with a psychologist\, a speech-language pathologist\, and an occupational therapist\, we will address questions and share practical\, sensitive strategies to support children during the transition. \nWe’ll talk about language development and bilingualism\, how to strengthen a sense of belonging and functioning in a changing environment\, and how you\, as a parent\, can help with all of this. Join us for a conversation about children’s relocation with experienced professionals. \nPlease Note: This Presentation will be held in Hebrew \n

SUMMARY:IAC| Keshet
DESCRIPTION:Keshet – Where Kids Connect to Israel and Families Feel at Home \nKeshet is a joyful\, hands-on experience for children ages 4–8 to build a meaningful connection to Israel through culture\,\nHebrew\, tradition\, and community.\nKids explore Israeli life through music\, stories\, games\, and creative activities — while also being introduced to the Hebrew language\nin a fun and natural way. They feel proud of their connection to Israel and Jewish life. \nBut Keshet isn’t just for kids — it’s for families\, too. \nThrough Shabbat celebrations\, cultural events\, and community experiences\, Keshet creates a warm and welcoming space\nfor families to connect — with each other and with Israel.\nIt brings the heart of Israel into your home in a way that feels joyful\, personal\, and deeply meaningful. \nDates subject to change.

SUMMARY:AJFF presents "Midas Man"
DESCRIPTION:When Brian Epstein set foot in the Cavern Club in November 1961 to watch The Beatles perform\, he saw something no one else could – a glimmer of gold. Sharply dressed and well-spoken\, Brian was hardly the most obvious radical – but being Jewish\, closeted and having grown up as an outsider who had failed at pretty much everything\, he was a 26-year old with something to prove and who wanted to tear up the rulebook.

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!
