SUMMARY:The Human Library
DESCRIPTION:At the Human Library\, you can borrow books\, just like at any other library. However\, the difference is that the “books” are living people with personal stories and experiences from their own life. Every book is drawn from a group in society who are negatively marginalized or targeted with (or vulnerable to) prejudice and discrimination because of their identity\, lifestyle\, occupation\, social status\, religious belief\, sexuality\, ethnic origin or something similar. Everyone has prejudices\, but not everyone has the opportunity to find out whether what we believe about other people is true within a safe space. That is the core of what the Human Library offers. Meet your prejudice. Unjudge someone. \nJoin us for one or more 30 minute conversation. \n\nAre you interested in Joining the Human Library®?  \nDo you have valuable experiences that Readers could benefit from learning about? Are you motivated to help challenge stigma and stereotypes through dialogue and personal conversations? Then maybe you can become an Open Book with the Human Library®. Do you want to support other Books by being a Librarian at future events? Please Consider becoming part of the Human Library team\, by filling out this form.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism and Our Democracy
DESCRIPTION:As we face a troubling resurgence of antisemitism\, it is increasingly vital to understand its implications not only for the Jewish community but also for the broader integrity of our democracy. To illuminate this critical connection\, we are excited to host a distinguished panel featuring three influential leaders in the field: \n\nAmy Spitalnick\, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA)\n\n\nDavid Bocarsly\, Executive Director of the Jewish Public Affairs Committee (JPAC)\n\n\nTyler Gregory\, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC)\n\nThis important discussion is grounded in the recently published Antisemitism X Democracy Report\, which illustrates the connections between antisemitism\, other forms of bigotry\, and anti-democratic extremism. \nThe powerful ONE NATION exhibition currently on display in the PJCC gallery serves as a backdrop for this program. Offering a provocative exploration of America through the lens of contemporary artists\, this exhibit prompts essential dialogue about our nation’s past\, present\, and future\, and invites us to reflect on the state of our nation and our hopes for a just future. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!
