SUMMARY:NCJW/Essex's Lunch & Learn – Citizenship\, Immigration\, and Deportation: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:The issues of immigration and deportation in the United States are deeply fraught. Throughout our history\, approaches to immigration have changed – from national quotas to explicit exclusion to mass deportations. The United States’s immigration policy is connected to broader political debates and perception of external threats. \nThe Jewish community has always identified with the plight of the immigrant; many of our families came to the United States as refugees. That shared history\, combined with the essential Jewish teaching to love our neighbors\, make the topic of Citizenship\, Immigration and Deportation in America endlessly interesting and relevant. \nJoin us for a timely and informative Lunch and Learn featuring Gary Darden\, a history professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University. His talk will cover numerous contentious times in our nation’s immigration history\, and we will explore the question of how this time is – or is not – different than what history has shown us.

SUMMARY:Or Katan
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome all our young friends — from toddlers through 3rd grade — to join us in the Chapel during Shabbat services for Or Katan. \nEach session will include singing\, dancing\, snacks\, and games centered around either the holiday or the weekly Torah portion. We’ll then join the adults in the sanctuary for the closing prayers and Kiddush. \nChildren under age 3 should be accompanied by a grown-up. \nLet’s celebrate Shabbat together with joy\, learning\, and community!

SUMMARY:Jewish Without Apology: A Conversation with Sarah Hurwitz
DESCRIPTION:She wrote speeches for the Obamas. Then she realized she didn’t know her own story. \nAward-winning author Sarah Hurwitz (“As a Jew”) joins Rabbi Julie Roth for a candid conversation about rediscovering Judaism as an adult and why its intellectual depth and moral clarity feel strikingly relevant to modern life. From finding meaning in a chaotic world to standing tall against rising antisemitism\, Sarah explores why embracing Jewish wisdom isn’t just about honoring the past — it’s about sanctifying the present and elevating our shared humanity. \nBook signing to follow.
