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 Israel had withdrawn from Gaza almost twenty years before.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:20251109T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251109T160000 DTSTAMP:20251030T132931Z CREATED:20251017T192006Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251030T132931Z UID:10001650-1762693200-1762704000@jccns.org SUMMARY:ChicShuk All Shuk'd Up for Israel DESCRIPTION:At Congregation Shirat Hayam \nJoin us at Congregation Shirat Hayam to support Israeli artisans.

She was a leading figure in the singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s\, with dozens of Billboard Hot 100 hits and music awards—her 1971 album Tapestry won a record four Grammy awards. Yet Carole struggled to reconcile her fame with her roles as a wife and mother and eventually retreated to the backwoods of Idaho\, only to emerge in recent years as a political activist and the subject of the Tony-winning Broadway show Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. In this in-depth biography\, journalist and author Jane Eisner places King’s life in historical and cultural context\, revealing details of her humble beginnings in Jewish Brooklyn\, the roots of her musical genius\, her four marriages\, and her anguish about public life. Drawing on numerous interviews as well as historical and contemporary sources\, Eisner brings to life King’s professional accomplishments\, her personal challenges\, and her lasting contributions to the great American songbook. \nThis event includes an ice cream sundae reception featuring Treadwell’s ice cream. \n \n Get Tickets URL:https://jccns.org/event/jane-eisner-carole-king-she-made-the-earth-move/ 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-10-16-Eisner-img.png ORGANIZER;CN="Susan Wood":MAILTO:swood@jccns.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251005T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251005T210000 DTSTAMP:20251005T200711Z CREATED:20250917T164342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251005T200711Z UID:10001635-1759690800-1759698000@jccns.org SUMMARY:Community Wide October 7th Film Screening and Discussion DESCRIPTION:at Temple Sinai \nFeaturing the documentary film: The New Jew: Days of War \nJoin us for a powerful documentary screening that explores the impact of October 7th on American Jews\, followed by a community discussion on our personal journeys in its aftermath.
