UPCOMING EVENTS
MONDAY FEB 7
7 P.M. E.T. Virtual Jonathan Greenblatt in conversation with Jodi Rudoren
In It Could Happen Here: Why America Is Tipping from Hate to the Unthinkable―And How We Can Stop It, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt sounds an alarm, warning that this age-old trend is gathering momentum in the U.S., as we recently saw in Colleyville, Texas—and that violence on an even larger, more catastrophic scale could be just around the corner if we don’t act now.
Greenblatt will be in conversation with Jodi Rudoren in this event hosted by Sixth & I.

7 P.M. E.T. Virtual Behind the scenes of 'Chutzpod!'
Chutzpod! is a weekly podcast that brings a Jewish lens to life's toughest questions.
Hear how Joshua Malina, co-star of The West Wing, and Rabbi Shira Stutman are teaming up to relate the weekly Torah portion to modern life, in audio, with Jodi Rudoren.
The pair have had radically different career trajectories and live on opposite ends of America, but do what Jews do best... teach and learn; crack jokes; and argue with one another about everything under the sun.
This talk will be recorded and sent to registrants.

8 P.M. E.T. Virtual Tales of Chelm: To Catch a Thief
We're excited to partner with JArts TheatreWorks Group on Tales of Chelm, a series based on "The Wise Folk of Chelm" by Rabbi Seymour Rossel.
“To Catch a Thief” explores the friendship that inadvertently blossoms between Gedaliah the Goniff and Zalman Shlomo the Gate Keeper. Told entirely through puppetry, the episode opens with Gedaliah stealing a coin purse from Reb Fishel, the town mayor. Zalman Shlomo attempts to pursue Gedaliah, only to be tricked by him in a variety of idiotic ways. As the narrative progresses, Gedaliah’s plans to evade Shlomo become increasingly ridiculous.
WEDNESDAY FEB 16
7:30 P.M. E.T. Virtual The Greatest Jewish Pop Songs of All Time
Who wrote the best Jewish pop song? Was it Bob Dylan? Or Leonard Cohen? Haim? Regina Spektor? Mel Brooks?
Join our panel of writers and critics as they debate who made our list. And why. And be sure to tell us about all the great artists and songs we left off.
Forward executive editor Adam Langer moderates a panel featuring Alan Light, author and former editor-in-chief of Vibe and Spin; Hesta Prynn, a DJ and host on SiriusXM; Jennifer Gilmore, assistant professor at Lafayette College, novelist, and screenwriter; Forward contributing editor and author Seth Rogovoy; and contributing music critic Dan Epstein.
This talk will be recorded and sent to registrants.
