Vishny\, Night Owls DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Talya Sokoll. \nIn this thrilling paranormal romance debut steeped in folklore—owl-shifting female vampires from Jewish tradition—face New York’s monstrous underworld to save the girl one of them loves with help from the boy one of them fears before they are\, all of them\, lost forever.Clara loves rules. Rules are what have kept her and her sister\, Molly\, alive—or\, rather\, undead—for over a century. Work their historic movie theater by day. Shift into an owl under the cover of night. Feed on men in secret. And never fall in love.But Molly is in love. And she’s tired of keeping her girlfriend\, Anat\, a secret. If Clara won’t agree to bend their rules a little\, then she will bend them herself.Boaz is cursed. He can’t walk two city blocks without being cornered by something undead. At least at work at the theater\, he gets to flirt with Clara\, wishing she would like him back.When Anat vanishes and New York’s monstrous underworld emerges from the shadows\, Clara suspects Boaz\, their annoyingly cute box office attendant\, might be behind it all.But if they are to find Anat\, they will need to work together to face demons and the hungers they would sooner bury. Clara will have to break all her rules—of love\, of life\, and of death itself—before her rules break everyone she loves. \nIn this stand-alone debut\, A. R. Vishny interweaves mystery\, romance\, and lore to create an unputdownable story about those who have kept to the shadows for far too long. \nThis event is free for students. \nCommunity partner: Marblehead High School \n \n Get Tickets URL:https://jccns.org/event/a-r-vishny-night-owls/ LOCATION:JCCNS\, 4 Community Rd.\, Marblehead\, MA\, 01945 CATEGORIES:JBM ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://jccns.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JBM-2025-Eblast-10-23-Vishny-img.png ORGANIZER;CN="Susan Wood":MAILTO:swood@jccns.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251023T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251023T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153224 CREATED:20241018T174651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241227T164654Z UID:10000623-1761247800-1761253200@jccns.org SUMMARY:Israeli Folk Dancing DESCRIPTION:Class will be held at the JCCNS in WK \nFREE but please RSVP if you plan on attending to  ns.israeli.folk.dance@gmail.com URL:https://jccns.org/event/israeli-folk-dancing-11/2025-10-23/ LOCATION:JCCNS\, 4 Community Rd.\, Marblehead\, MA\, 01945 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://jccns.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Israeli-Folk-Dancing-square.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251026T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251026T095000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153224 CREATED:20241021T165013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241227T164701Z UID:10001020-1761465600-1761472200@jccns.org SUMMARY:Israeli Folk Dancing DESCRIPTION:Class will be held at the JCCNS in WK \nFREE but please RSVP if you plan on attending to ns.folk.dance@gmail.com URL:https://jccns.org/event/israeli-folk-dancing-13/2025-10-26/ LOCATION:JCCNS\, 4 Community Rd.\, Marblehead\, MA\, 01945 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://jccns.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Israeli-Folk-Dancing-square.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251026T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251026T153000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153224 CREATED:20250929T170328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251010T151505Z UID:10001642-1761485400-1761492600@jccns.org SUMMARY:Floating Pumpkin-Patch-A-Palooza DESCRIPTION:Join us at the JCCNS Indoor Pool for our third annual Floating Pumpkin-Patch-A-Palooza!  \n\nJUMP in the pool and pick your favorite pumpkin!\nDECORATE your pumpkin with markers\, stickers and all kinds of fun crafts!\nENJOY pizza\, snacks\, and drinks with friends on the pool deck!\nWIN – Each pumpkin has a number on the bottom and two pumpkins will be the lucky winners at the end of the event!\n\nPrizes include a JCCNS POOL GLOW PARTY for 10 guests and one Package of Private Swim Lessons at the JCCNS. \nCost: $15.00 per pumpkin. \nDeadline to register is Friday\, October 24th. \nRegister by emailing Rachel Kidd-Levy at rkiddlevy@jccns.com.  URL:https://jccns.org/event/floating-pumpkin-patch-a-palooza-4/ LOCATION:JCCNS Indoor Pool\, 4 Community Rd.\, Marblehead\, MA\, 01945\, United States CATEGORIES:Aquatics Events,Family Events,Home-Register ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://jccns.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Pumpkin-Patch-a-Palooza-Eblast-sq.png ORGANIZER;CN="Rachel Kidd-Levy":MAILTO:rkiddlevy@jccns.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251026T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251026T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153224 CREATED:20251022T190427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251022T190657Z UID:10001657-1761490800-1761494400@jccns.org SUMMARY:PJ Library Playground Meetup DESCRIPTION:Join PJ Library\, the Jewish Community Center of the North Shore\, and Welcome Baby for an informal meetup in the area.

Brown\, The Whisper Sister DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Cat Mazur-Jefferies. \nThe streets of New York in 1920 are most certainly not paved with gold\, as Minnie Soffer learns when she arrives at Ellis Island. Her father\, who left Ukraine when Minnie was a toddler\, is a stranger. She sleeps on a mattress on the kitchen floor. She understands nothing at school. They came to America for this? As her family adjusts to this new life\, Minnie and her brother work hard to learn English and make friends. When her father\, Ike\, opens his own soda shop\, stability and citizenship seem within reach. But the soda shop is not what it seems; it’s a front for Ike’s real moneymaker: a speakeasy. When tragedy strikes the Soffers\, Minnie has no choice but to take over the bar. She’s determined to make the speakeasy a success despite the risks it brings to herself\, her family\, and her freedom. At what price does the American dream come true? Minnie won’t stop until she finds out. \nTickets to this event include dessert and one drink ticket. \n \n Get Tickets URL:https://jccns.org/event/jennifer-s-brown-the-whisper-sister/ LOCATION:Tedesco Country Club\, 154 Tedesco Street\, Marblehead\, MA\, 01945\, United States CATEGORIES:JBM ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://jccns.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JBM-2025-Eblast-10-28-Brown-img.png ORGANIZER;CN="Susan Wood":MAILTO:swood@jccns.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251029T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251029T203000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153224 CREATED:20250730T135002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250730T143811Z UID:10001555-1761766200-1761769800@jccns.org SUMMARY:Antisemitism\, an American Tradition DESCRIPTION:Professor Pamela S.

Worse\, many liberals say things about Israel that are patently false. After the October 7 Hamas attack\, Barack Obama said that Israel had “unclean hands” because of the “unbearable occupation”. The trouble was\, there was no occupation. Israel had withdrawn from Gaza almost twenty years before. With his acclaimed wit\, historian Uri Kaufman answers the riddle in American Intifada by examining the phenomenon through the distorting lens of race: simply put\, Israelis are perceived as a white group of privilege\, while Palestinians are perceived as people of color. For progressives\, fighting for people of color is the core value that crowds out all other considerations\, no matter the facts. Kaufman examines how this all results in a strange upside-down world where liberals attack Israelis who share their values\, while embracing Palestinians who reject them. \n \n Get Tickets URL:https://jccns.org/event/uri-kaufman-american-intifada-israel-the-gaza-war-and-the-new-antisemitism/ LOCATION:JCCNS\, 4 Community Rd.\, Marblehead\, MA\, 01945 CATEGORIES:JBM ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://jccns.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JBM-2025-Eblast-11-12-Kaufman-img.png ORGANIZER;CN="Susan Wood":MAILTO:swood@jccns.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251113T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251113T123000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153224 CREATED:20251029T161959Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251029T161959Z UID:10001695-1763033400-1763037000@jccns.org SUMMARY:The Life and Music of Ella Fitzgerald DESCRIPTION:Monthly Mid-Day Speakers Series\nIn Partnership with Explorers Lifelong Learning\n\n\nThe Life and Music of Ella Fitzgerald Join Bill Sano\, musician and music historian\, to learn about the extraordinary life\, voice\, and legacy of Ella Fitzgerald — one of the most influential jazz artists of all time.\n\nCoffee and bagels will be served \nEvent is free\, please RSVP below.
