SUMMARY:Antisemitism in Current Israel/Palestine Discourse
DESCRIPTION:As the world continues to respond to recent events in Israel and Gaza\, we have seen a precipitous rise in antisemitism\, some of it blatant and some of it subtle\, including in discourse from some people in the far left. Project Shema is an independent nonprofit organization that trains and supports the Jewish community and allies to understand and address contemporary anti-Semitism\, with an emphasis on how anti-Jewish ideas can emerge in progressive spaces and in discourse around Israel and Palestine. Founded by Jewish leaders with deep ties in social justice movements\, Project Shema brings a fresh and humanizing approach to these challenging issues. Please join ADL and Congregation Emanu El for a compelling conversation with Project Shema’s Co-Founder and Executive Director\, Oren Jacobson\, a leading voice in understanding how the intersection of progressive politics and Israel generates anti-Semitism. This conversation will explore what is happening in the discourse right now in response to events in Israel. What is being done and how can we effectively respond as a community?

SUMMARY:Bereavement Group
DESCRIPTION:The death of a loved one. Divorce. Estrangement. Job loss. Retirement. Communal tragedy. And so much more. Each is a catalyst for grief: the undesired journey that we may either embrace\, despite the pain; or\, that we may ignore\, risking our long-term health – physical\, emotional\, and spiritual. \nThursday mornings through November 16\, we invite you to come together in order to describe and process your pain in a safe\, brave space. And\, in doing so\, may your journey through grief be both honored and eased by loving\, understanding peers. \nThis group will be led by Rabbi Seth Stander\, Community Aging Specialist at HHCI. Rabbi Stander connects community members with resources related to caregiving\, aging in place\, long-term care facility placement\, advanced care planning\, and more. Additionally\, Rabbi Stander facilitates caregiver/grief support for individuals/couples/families/groups. Rabbi Stander has served as a congregational rabbi\, resident and staff chaplain\, and most recently on staff at the Harris County Long-term Care Ombudsman Program\, advocating for the rights of facility residents and their loved ones. \nPre-registration is required; please contact Shira in Rabbi Silk’s office at shiram@emanuelhouston.org or 713-529-5771\, ext. 212.

SUMMARY:The Golem Legend and Holocaust Memory
DESCRIPTION:Lester and Sue Smith Campus\n5401 Caroline St.\nHouston\, TX \, 77004 \nThere are many Jewish legends about the golem – a creature formed from clay and brought to life using mystical knowledge to serve the Jewish community. Often the golem is portrayed protecting the Jews from pogroms and blood libels. Since the Holocaust\, many artists and authors have wrestled with the golem’s legacy. Where was this mythic protector when the Jews needed it the most? Inspired by this season of creepy creatures\, Rabbi Fixler will introduce us to the golem legend and explore the unique ways the golem is imagined in post-Holocaust art and fiction. \nRabbi Fixler is the president of the Houston Faith Leaders Coalition\, a board member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and the Houston Rabbinical Association\, and a member of the steering committee for the Texas Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC-TX). Rabbi Fixler was ordained at the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) in May 2017. While in rabbinical school\, Rabbi Fixler was a Wexner Graduate Fellow and a Bonnie and Daniel Tisch Rabbinical Fellow. During his time at HUC-JIR\, Joshua also completed an Advanced Professional Certificate in Management for Public & Nonprofit Organizations at New York University. \nPublic programs at Holocaust Museum Houston are presented by Memorial Hermann.
