JCC Speaker Luncheon: "A Different Hat in the Ring: The Yarmulke, American Jews, and the Political Arena"
Program Description: "A Different Hat in the Ring: The Yarmulke, American Jews, and the Political Arena" with Professor Eric Michael Mazur, Virginia Wesleyan University
The yarmulke, whether worn a lot or never, plain or colorful, nestled in a tallis bag or stuffed in a drawer, has been a topic of debate. As Jews encountered non-Jews with greater frequency in the modern world, the yarmulke became the symbol of a Jewish presence in non-Jewish public spaces. It has emerged as a factor in negotiations over the politics of identity between Jews and non-Jews in public spaces. Debates among Jews about yarmulkes arose in the Reform movement of the nineteenth century and continued with the rise of gender-related issues in the twentieth century. American politics throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has seen the yarmulke playing a role. In addition the yarmulke has served as a marker not only for Jews and Judaism, but also for the nature and role of religion in the modern world.
Eric Michael Mazur, professor of religious studies at Virginia Wesleyan University, teaches courses on Judaism, religion in American culture, and the academic study of religion. He is the author, co-author, editor, and co-editor of books on religion in American law and culture. Most recently Prof. Mazur authored chapters on Judaism in American culture, as well as co-edited the Bloomsbury Reader in the Study of Religion and Popular Culture (2022) and Religion and Outer Space (2023). His articles on religion in American culture and history, the arts / literature / film, popular culture, religious liberty, politics, and race / ethnicity appear in academic journals, encyclopedias, and edited volumes. In addition to scholarly pursuits Eric served in Washington, DC as a lobbyist for the American Jewish Committee and Americans for Democratic Action.

JCC Speaker Lunch: "A Tangled Immigration Version of the American Dream: Rubin Morris Hanan's Freedom"
Program Description: "A Tangled Immigration Version of the American Dream: Rubin Morris Hanan's Freedom"
When sixteen-year-old, Sephardic Jew, Rubin Morris Hanan, embarked in 1927 from the island of Rhodes to land in Montgomery, Alabama, he never dreamed of what lay in store for him. Decades later his writings reveal an immigration story with a fascinating trajectory - a version of the American dream in the early twentieth century that is more tangled than one might suspect, or even than Hanan himself expounded later in his writings.
Originally from Charlotte, Mimi Wooten is a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan's history department and a Todd M. Endelman fellow at the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies. Mimi studies the modern Sephardi diaspora in the US with a focus on the American South.

JCC Book Club: "Gateway to the Moon"
Program Description: Discussion of "Gateway to the Moon" by Mary Morris lunch at 12:30p lunch with drinks and dessert are provided, and the discussion to begin at 1:00p.
Entrada de la Luna is the sort of town that ambitious children try to leave behind them. Poor health, broken marriages, and poverty are the norm, and luck is unusual. So when Miguel Torres notices an advertisement for a position looking after two small boys a few towns over, he jumps at the opportunity.
Rachel Rothstein is not the sort of parent Miguel expected to be working for, though. A frustrated artist, Rachel moved her family away from New York looking for a fresh start, but so far New Mexico has not solved any of the problems they brought with them. But Miguel genuinely loves the work and he finds many of the Rothstein family's customs similar to ones he sees in his own community.
Studded throughout this present-day narrative are historical vignettes following the ancestors of Entrada's residents, beginning in fifteenth-century Spain and moving forward to the discovery of America, highlighting the torture, pursuit, and resistance of the Jewish people throughout history, leading to the founding of the enclave that Miguel now calls home. A beautiful novel of shared history, Gateway to the Moon is a moving and memorable portrait of home and community.

Program Description: “My Childhood During WWII as a US Army Brat” with Laura Gutman
Laura Thurston Gutman, author of the 2024 memoir "Army Brat," lived her childhood folded into the middle of the US Army from before the attack on Pearl Harbor, throughout World War II, into the war's immediate aftermath, and up to the start of the Vietnam War. Her family was posted to many historically pivotal places and events of that era, including Hawaii where from her backyard she witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbor and life in post war Germany under Russian hostility. Laura's presentation will blend the nature of her childhood life with the unfolding of history during her father?s military assignments as a liaison officer in the US army.

JCC Speaker Lunch: "Getting Old! Elderly Women in the Biblical Period"
Program Description: Duke University Professor Carol Meyers: "Getting Old! Elderly Women in the Biblical Period"
Although there are many references to aging men in Torah, references to elderly women are virtually non-existent. Based on her latest book, Rediscovering Eve, a landmark study of women in ancient Israel, Prof Meyers will provide a glimpse into the lives of elderly women in the biblical period, showing that they made important contributions to household life and were recipients of respectful family-based eldercare.
Carol Meyers, the Mary Grace Wilson Professor of Religious Studies emerita at Duke University, has lectured and published widely in biblical studies and archaeology. Her reference work, Women in Scripture, is a comprehensive look at all biblical women; and her latest book, Rediscovering Eve, is a landmark study of women in ancient Israel. She has been a frequent consultant for media productions and has served as president of the Society of Biblical Literature.

Program Description: “2024: A Regional Inflection Point or Is History Just Repeating Itself?” with Prof. Bob Moog
Do events happening now in the Middle East represent a new set of political, geographic and military realities for the area, as perhaps the '67 War did? Or is it simply more of the same that's been happening for quite a while, but now an Israel with restored deterrence? Because Prof Moog is an extremely popular speaker at JCC, his talks sell out quickly so you would be wise to register early.
Bob Moog, NCSU professor emeritus, School of Public & International Affairs, is a specialist in Middle East Politics and in comparative legal systems, Prof. Moog served as political consultant to Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Egypt.

JCC Book Club: "Finding Margaret Fuller"
Description: Finding Margaret Fuller by Allison Pataki
An epic reimagining of the life of Margaret Fuller—America’s forgotten leading lady and the central figure of a movement that defined a nation—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post.
Massachusetts, 1836. Young, brazen, beautiful, and unapologetically brilliant, Margaret Fuller accepts an invitation from Ralph Waldo Emerson, the celebrated “Sage of Concord,” to meet his coterie of enlightened friends shaping a nation in the throes of its own self-discovery. By the end of her stay, she will become “the radiant genius and fiery heart” of the Transcendentalists, a role model to young Louisa May Alcott, an inspiration to Nathaniel Hawthorne and his scandalous Scarlet Letter, a friend to Henry David Thoreau as he ventures into the woods of Walden Pond . . . and a muse to Emerson himself. But Margaret craves more than poetry and interpersonal drama, and she finds her restless soul in need of new challenges and adventure.
And so she charts a singular course against a backdrop of dizzying historical drama: From Boston, where she hosts a women-only literary salon for students like Elizabeth Cady Stanton; to the editorial meetings of The Dial magazine, where she hones her pen as its co-founder; to Harvard’s library, where she is the first woman to study within its walls; to the gritty New York streets where she spars with Edgar Allan Poe and reports on the writings of Frederick Douglass. Margaret defies conventions time and again as an activist for women and an advocate for humanity, earning admirers and scathing critics alike.
When the legendary Horace Greeley offers an assignment in Europe, Margaret again makes history as the first female foreign news correspondent, mingling with luminaries like Frederic Chopin, Walt Whitman, George Sand, and more. But it is in Rome where she finds a world of passion, romance, and revolution, taking a Roman count as a lover—and sparking an international scandal. Evolving yet again into the roles of mother and countess, Margaret enters a new fight for Italy’s unification.
With a star-studded cast and epic sweep of historical events, this is a story of an inspiring trailblazer, a woman who loved big and lived even bigger—a fierce adventurer who transcended the rigid roles ascribed to women, and changed history for millions, all on her own terms.
