Upcoming Events for You
We hope to see you at our August events. We have fun outdoor events for young families, a special two-part safety training experience, a day of celebrating Jewish culture at One World Day, and more.
August 4 and August 6
Gallery Open House: SEE ME
"SEE ME" explores the artist’s play on one's identity. Michal Chelbin’s photography attempts to capture human stories in everyday life; the identities of people not in the mainstream, many of them belonging to the edge of society and existing in the space between the odd and the ordinary. Her main themes are not social or topical, but collective and mythical; she searches for people who have a legendary quality in them.
Curated by Matthew Garson.

Keeping Our Jewish Community Safe: A Two-Part Series
Safety and security have become of utmost concern, and as the High Holidays approach, we are pleased to offer the following opportunities below.
Join us for a viewing of the 2022 HBO acclaimed documentary, A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting on Tuesday, August 20. This moving documentary on the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting is a film about resilience of the survivors, lessons learned, and community healing following this tragic incident. A panel discussion featuring Audrey Glickman, one of the survivors featured in the documentary, along with security experts from the FBI/ Secure Community Network (SCN) and JFC Security will occur immediately following the film.
On Wednesday, August 21 we will offer community members the opportunity to attend the FBI”s “Active Shooter Attack, Prevention & Preparedness (ASAPP)” training. This national training program developed by the FBI for civilian audiences will empower you with the skills to respond confidently in the event an active threat to your personal safety were to occur.
All community members are welcome. Register for one or both.
