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.

SUMMARY:Schwartz Early Childhood School Parent Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Schwartz ECS Parent Education Series designed to strengthen family partnerships (currently enrolled and community) and deepen understanding of early childhood learning and development through a Reggio-inspired approach. \nThe virtual series will include several themed sessions led by members of the leadership team\, each addressing an area families frequently ask about and that directly supports our school philosophy: \nDec. 1 – Academics in a Reggio Classroom – Demonstrating how early literacy\, math\, and science concepts are integrated into play\, exploration\, and inquiry rather than taught through rote instruction. \nJan. 15 – Emotional Responsiveness and Challenging Behaviors – Offering tools for understanding the meaning behind behaviors\, building emotional regulation\, and supporting children through a compassionate\, connection-based approach. \nMarch 28 – Toilet Learning – Sharing respectful\, developmentally appropriate strategies that emphasize independence\, body awareness\, and collaboration between home and school. \nMay 20 – The Power of Play – Highlighting how play supports every area of development—social\, emotional\, cognitive\, and academic—and how it lays the foundation for lifelong learning. \nThe goal of this series is to empower parents with knowledge and confidence\, strengthen the partnership between home and school\, and communicate how the Reggio Emilia philosophy supports both academic readiness and whole-child development.
