SUMMARY:Inseparable and Not the Same: Judaism\, Zionism\, and the Modern Jewish Condition
DESCRIPTION:In today’s polarized landscape\, Judaism and Zionism are often treated as either identical or entirely opposed. This class explores what is lost in both extremes\, when allegiance to Israel becomes the measure of Jewishness and when rejection of Zionism erases a core strand of Judaism. We will grapple with the reality that anti-Zionism often expresses deep antisemitic sentiments\, even as it also has a long and complex history within Jewish thought and debate. Together we will ask how a more nuanced engagement with Zionism might deepen\, rather than divide\, contemporary Jewish life. \nRabbi Dr. Joshua Ladon is the Vice President\, West Coast and Senior Faculty at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America\, where he guides the program and development strategy on the West Coast. An award-winning educator\, Joshua was previously the Director of Education for the Institute in North America\, guiding the content and curriculum of national and regional programs. Prior to Hartman he served as the Dean of Student and Jewish Life at the Jewish Community High School of the Bay. \nA part of the series Wrestling with Complexity: Israel in Our Time

SUMMARY:Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series Featuring Goldie Morgentaler\, Editor\, "Letters from the Afterlife: The Post-Holocaust Correspondence of Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larsson"
DESCRIPTION:Edited by Goldie Morgentaler\, PhD \nTranslated by Krzysztof Majer and Sylvia Söderlind \nLetters from the Afterlife chronicles the experiences of two Holocaust survivors as they adjusted to life in their adopted countries of Canada and Sweden. Chava Rosenfarb (1923 – 2011)\, Goldie Morgentaler’s mother\, and Zenia Larsson (1922 – 2007) were childhood friends in Poland\, lived through the Lodz Ghetto and the death camps together\, and parted soon after their liberation from Bergen-Belsen. For the next fifty years\, they continued their friendship through letters written in Polish. Despite their continuing traumas and insecurities\, Rosenfarb and Larsson went on to become distinguished novelists in their respective languages\, Yiddish and Swedish. \nAfter Chava Rosenfarb’s death\, Morgentaler found a stash of Chava’s letters to Zenia from 1945 to 1971. By bringing Chava’s letters together with Zenia’s side of the correspondence\, taken from the book Zenia published in Swedish in 1972\, Morgentaler has created a testament to an emotional attachment between two women writers who had suffered through some of the most horrific events of the twentieth century and emerged with their humanity and ability to love intact. \nGoldie Morgentaler is Professor Emerita at the University of Lethbridge\, where she taught 19th-century British and American literature and modern Jewish literature. She is the translator from Yiddish to English of much of Chava Rosenfarb’s work\, including Rosenfarb’s epic Holocaust trilogy\, The Tree of Life: A Trilogy of Life in the Lodz Ghetto. \nAbout the Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series: \nThe Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series is sponsored by Debs Weinberg to honor her mother Sandy’s love of books and learning about Jewish women’s lives. \nVisit https://bit.ly/HBIConversations for more information.

SUMMARY:Washington National Opera Presents West Side Story
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Leonard Bernstein\, Stephen Sondheim\, Arthur Laurents\, and Jerome Robbins classic on a grand scale. \nLove divided by a turf war… chemistry that sizzles… tragedy that looms. When four of the greatest American icons of the 20th century took on Shakespeare’s story of star-crossed lovers\, it became a Broadway blockbuster. Now\, the story and spectacle of West Side Story meets the scale and power of opera for a retelling you won’t forget! \nArtistic Director Francesca Zambello’s “expansive” (Chicago Tribune) production follows young lovers Maria and Tony as tensions rise between the Sharks and the Jets. Your favorite musical moments are here—from the tender “Tonight” to the enduring “Somewhere”—performed by a world-class cast and the Washington National Opera Orchestra. \nWith dazzling original Jerome Robbins choreography set on the streets of New York and “thrilling injections of dynamism and adrenaline” (Chicago Sun-Times)\, this West Side Story gets the starry treatment that only Washington National Opera can offer. West Side Story is a co-production of Houston Grand Opera\, Glimmerglass Festival\, and Lyric Opera of Chicago. \nThe performances\, a centerpiece of WNO’s landmark 70th Anniversary season\, will feature accompaniment by the Washington National Opera Orchestra conducted by internationally renowned Marin Alsop\, Music Director Laureate of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (May 8-9)\, and Grammy Award®-nominated James Lowe (May 10)\, with the original choreography of Jerome Robbins. \nIn English with Projected English Titles. \nPerformances 5/8/2026 at 7:30 PM\, 5/9/2026 at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM\, 5/10/2026 at 2:00 PM

SUMMARY:Life Review: The Hospice Musical
DESCRIPTION:A musical comedy about love\, loss\, and the lives of hospice patients. One night only. Live musicians. Live album recording. \nWhat is Life Review? \n“Life Review: The Hospice Musical” is a new American musical about life and death in a hospice facility — and it’s a comedy. Created by Benjamin Kintisch\, a Cantor and hospice chaplain from Columbia\, MD\, it follows a young rabbi navigating his first year as the new chaplain at a residential hospice. \nAudiences have laughed\, cried\, and called it life-changing. \nFans have described it as “funny and poignant\,” “Broadway-worthy\,” and “the most human show I’ve ever seen.” It has performed at the Asheville Fringe Festival\, the Charm City Fringe\, and virtually from London — and it is a 2025 Maryland State Arts Council Creativity Grant recipient. \nWhy May 9 is special \nThis is not just a performance — it’s a live album recording. For the first time\, the full 16-song musical will be performed by a complete ensemble featuring five conservatory musicians from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University\, under the direction of Music Director and Orchestrator Kieran Casey. \nEvery song. Every character. One unforgettable night. \nWhat to expect \nAn intimate 90-minute evening of original songs\, humor\, and genuine heart. Characters drawn from real hospice patients and the people who cared for them. A Broadway-caliber performance in a 140-seat theater. A room full of people who will leave thinking differently about life\, legacy\, and what we want to be remembered for. \nFollowing the performance\, there will be a dessert reception. For those who want to discuss the work\, there will be optional small group discussions related to topics highlighted in the show. \nGroup choices include the following: \n1) “Spoiler alert!” – Dark humor and our shared mortality. \n2) “Send Me a Sign!” – Theological Issues at End-of-Life. \n3) “With These Hands” – the blessings and challenges of the body through aging and illness \n4) “Life Review” – an interactive story telling workshop. \nTestimonials: \n“It was beautiful\, your singing was touching and moving along with your acting. It was spot on! I cried. We all loved it!” — Audience member \n“I feel grateful to have experienced Life Review. The lessons taught through song I will carry with me for the rest of my life.” — Cassandra Geisel\, Lifting the Lid Festival\, London \n“Ben Kintisch masterfully captures the nuance and humor of one of humanity’s greatest blind spots — end of life care.

SUMMARY:In Her Words: A Speaker Series with Pam Sherman
DESCRIPTION:Looking to show up in the best possible way for yourself\, your family\, your community and in your professional life? \nJoin the Soul Center for an impactful evening with Pam Sherman\, global leadership coach\, writer\, actor\, recovering lawyer and author of the new book\, Play You\, the Role of a Lifetime Bridge the Believability Gap to Boost Confidence\, Connection\, and Impact. \nDuring this powerful conversation with Rabbi Dana Saroken\, Pam will share how in our fast-changing world there’s often a chasm between who we are\, who we think we “should” be\, and how we show up for others—what she calls the believability gap. It can dim our confidence\, connection\, and impact. And the counterintuitive solution is to use the tools actors use to develop their core character. \nThis event is for anyone who wants to show-up in the best possible way personally and professionally – for all those you wish to impact\, lead\, and serve. With humor\, great stories\, and meaningful takeaways\, Pam will empower us to make the greatest impact with the greatest gift we can give the world: YOU.
