Biblical women have often been overlooked or marginalized by our religious traditions. However, when we revisit them with fresh eyes, we discover that they can enrich our spiritual lives and self-identities. This talk will look at a handful of biblical women, considering their depiction in Judaism, Christianity, and Western culture, and introducing modern perspectives on these biblical women. We will emphasize using an imaginative interpretation style that brings our questions and concerns to the forefront, and ultimately invites us to befriend these women as our spiritual older sisters, friends, and role models. Presented by Erica Olson-Bang, Ph.D.

Fanny Mendelssohn was a gifted pianist and composer whose brilliance often had to contend with the societal constraints of the 19th century. While her brother Felix Mendelssohn gained widespread acclaim for his innovative compositions, Fanny’s remarkable talents and contributions to classical music remained overshadowed by the norms of her time. German historian Anette Isaacs delves into the life and legacy of Fanny Mendelssohn, exploring her groundbreaking journey, her struggles for recognition, and the cultural and Jewish heritage of the Mendelssohn family that shaped their enduring impact on the world of music. This live lecture will be Zoomed into the JCC. Presented by Anette Isaacs, M.A.

People are living longer and longer, which means more people are or will be in the place of taking care of a parent, spouse or other relative as they age. While caring for a loved one is often fulfilling, it can also be an overwhelming task that puts strain on the caretakers and creates a maze of family dynamics as everyone’s roles shift. But don’t worry, you’re not alone! Recognizing the ups and downs of caregiving, the JCC has put together a 5-week lecture series in which you will learn about resources you and your givee may be eligible for, how to handle the hard moments and the ways to find fulfillment in this role. Whether you have just begun your caregiving journey or are years in, you are invited to join us to the below presentations. Each presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A as well as time for attendees to ask one-on-one questions to the speakers and mingle with each other. Visit jccsyr.org/cp to see the full list of topics and speakers.
