SUMMARY:Social Hour: Quilling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the J for an exciting hands-on paper quilling workshop where you’ll learn all about the intricate and beautiful art of folding\, rolling\, and shaping paper. Discover how to transform strips of paper into stunning designs inspired by classic Judaica with instructor Nikki Furlong\, owner of Simply Quilled Designs. \n \n\nAbout the Instructor: \nNikki Furlong is a self-taught paper artist and owner of Simply Quilled Designs. As a lifelong crafter and artist\, she gained many of her skills through years of experimentation and exploration. She works primarily with paper\, using cut strips to create her work. This technique is known as quilling; a decorative art form popular during the Renaissance period. When Nikki discovered paper quilling in early 2000\, she was immediately drawn to the medium for its versatility\, which allowed her to utilize her art and craft background. \nNikki grew up in a small town in Minnesota and now lives in Bellingham\, WA. The Pacific Northwest has been an inspiration for her work; nature being a constant theme that is present in her series of trees\, plants and flowers. \nHer artwork has been exhibited at the Jansen Art Center in Lynden\, WA\, Studio 103 in Seattle\, WA\, Edmonds Arts Festival in Edmonds\, WA and Schack Art Center in Everett\, WA. In addition to creating\, she has taught paper quilling classes and was a visiting artist teacher for a nonprofit organization in the Caribbean that teaches and preserves traditional art and craft forms.

SUMMARY:From Trauma to Enlightenment: Howard Reich’s Conversations with Elie Wiesel
DESCRIPTION:Join us in conversation with award-winning journalist\, author and filmmaker Howard Reich. The son of two Holocaust survivors\, Reich grappled for much of his life with the inherited trauma of events he never experienced. He searches for meaning in his mother’s battle with the ghosts of her past and finds enlightenment from an unexpected source\, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel. \nReich shares his personal journey and his intimate association with Wiesel during the last four years of the educator’s life. He discusses how that experience became the inspiration for an intimate musical drama\, The Dialogue of Memories\, with Reich’s words and music by Tom Cipullo. The opera\, commissioned by Music of Remembrance\, illuminates how we can reach understanding across generations and open doors of memory\, hope and compassion. The work receives its world premiere by Music of Remembrance on May 17\, 2026\, at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall. \nHoward Reich and Paul Regelbrugge (Holocaust Center for Humanity)\, moderated by Mina Miller\, Founder and Artistic Director of Music of Remembrance. \n \nHave questions about the event\, email info@sjcc.org.

SUMMARY:AUTHOR TALK | Award-Winning Israeli Journalist Lee Yaron
DESCRIPTION:AUTHOR | Award-Winning Israeli Journalist Lee Yaron on “The Future of Israel – Hope and Resilience”   \nJoin us for an important presentation on “The Future of Israel – Hope and Resilience” with award-winning Israeli journalist Lee Yaron\, winner of the Jewish Book of the Year Award for her latest book “10/7: 100 Human Stories” and featured on Forbes’ coveted 30 Under 30 list for 2025. Moderated by Dr. Mika Ahuvia\, Associate Professor of Classical Judaism at UW. \nA radically passionate work of investigative journalism and political critique by the acclaimed “Haaretz” reporter\, “10/7: 100 Human Stories” is Yaron’s definitive account of the 10/7 attacks told through extensive interviews with survivors\, the bereaved\, and first responders. It profiles the diversity of victims and survivors: from left-wing kibbutzniks and music festival partiers to radical right-wingers\, from Bedouins and Israeli Arabs to Thai and Nepalese guest workers\, from peace activists and elderly Holocaust survivors to Ukrainian and Russian refugees. \nAt a time when people are seeking a deeper understanding of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how internal political turmoil in Israel has affected it\, “10/7” takes a fresh approach\, offering answers through the stories of everyday people who lived tenuously on the border with Gaza. Rather than focusing on their last moments\, this award-winning book weaves together rich human stories with larger historical and political contexts. \n \nBook + virtual ticket bundle available (pickup or optional shipping available). Books ready for pickup before the event. \nSun\, May 3 @ 2:00 pm (Rescheduled from October 2025. Prior tickets have been transferred to the new date.)\nPresented via Zoom. Link shared 1 hour before showtime. \nPart of Chew on This! Speaker Series theme: Roots + Resilience. \nIn Partnership with Jewish Book Council. \n\nABOUT THE MODERATOR: Mika Ahuvia was born in Kibbutz Beit Hashita in northern Israel. Her scholarship bridges academic research and the lived experiences of Jewish communities. At the University of Washington\, where she is Associate Professor of Classical Judaism\, she guides students and community members into deeper engagement with Jewish history and tradition. As former Director of the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies\, she led the community through the aftermath of October 7\, mourning the loss of alumnus Hayim Katsman and coordinating learning opportunities for students\, faculty\, and university leadership.

SUMMARY:Shane Burley + Ben Lorber\, Building “Safety Through Solidarity”
DESCRIPTION:How can we stand in solidarity with those seeking justice while also avoiding antisemitism? How do we resist those who seek to conflate the two? How do we forge coalitions across communities in order to overcome the politics of division and fear? Two activist journalists present a progressive\, intersectional approach to the vital question: “What can we do about antisemitism?” \n \nAntisemitism is on the rise today: from synagogue shootings by white nationalists\, to right-wing politicians and media figures pushing George Soros conspiracy theories. It’s clear that exclusionary nationalist movements are growing. By spreading division and fear\, they put Jews\, along with other marginalized groups and multiracial democracy itself\, at risk. \nAnd since the outbreak of war in Gaza\, debates around antisemitism have become more polarized and have higher stakes than ever. \nUsing personal stories\, historical deep dives\, frontline reporting\, and interviews with leading changemakers\, Burley and Lorber’s “Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antis-Semitism” helps us break the current impasse to understand how antisemitism works\, what’s missing in contemporary debates\, and how to build true safety through solidarity for Jews and all people. \n \nPart of the “Chew on This!” Speaker Series theme: Roots & Resilience. \nBook sales + signing after the program.   \nIn partnership with Jewish Book Council. \n\nABOUT:  \nShane Burley is a journalist based in Portland\, Oregon. He is the author or editor of four books on social movements\, including “Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism\, Resistance\, and Surviving the Apocalypse” (AK Press\, 2022). His work has been featured on NBC News and in The Baffler\, The Daily Beast\, Jewish Currents\, Haaretz\, and Yes! Magazine. \nBen Lorber is a Senior Research Analyst at Political Research Associates\, a social movement think tank\, where he studies and publishes on antisemitism and white Christian nationalism. Prior\, he worked supporting justice-driven young Jewish communities across the country and writes extensively on antisemitism\, Israel/​Palestine\, and Jewish identity.  \n\nSJCC Venue + Box Office Policies  \n\nALL SALES FINAL | NO REFUNDS | NO EXCHANGES | NO CREDITS\nGeneral admission | Doors open 30 min. before showtime.\nFacility and processing fees apply at checkout.\nPlease view our Welcome to the J webpage for the latest policies\, news\, and information.\nPatrons agree to all SJCC terms and conditions above and at SJCC Box Office + Venue Policies.\n\nNeed Help?\nContact BoxOffice@sjcc.org | 206-388-0833 (email best for a quick response!)\nVisit SJCC Arts + Ideas Box Office for full list of policies.
