[ha-Safran] Two Library CE programs with Jewish Content

[Sally Stieglitz via Hasafran]

Dear Safranim,

My workplace has two zoom programs with Jewish content this fall. I have
arranged for members of AJL to attend without a fee. It's certainly open to
others as well; if you are interested and not an AJL member or member of
one of NY's library resources councils, a small fee may apply.
Best regards,
Sally
Here are the details:

*Whistle: A New Gotham Hero, With Creator E. Lockhart
*
Sept. 13, 1pm-2pm Eastern

Can DC’s first Jewish teen superhero in 40 years take on legacy villains
Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and the Riddler? New York Times #1 and USA Today
bestselling author, E. Lockhart introduces Gotham and YA fans to
sixteen-year-old activist Willow Zimmerman, and her loyal stray Great Dane,
Lebowitz.

Join LILRC as we welcome Willow’s creator and best selling author, E.
Lockhart (*We Were Liars*) who writes about morally complicated heroines
navigating emotional situations. Lockhart will discuss the character of
Whistle and the history of Jewish characters and Jewish female comic book
characters in particular.

E. Lockhart is the New York Times #1 and USA Today bestselling author of *We
Were Liars* and other acclaimed novels. She is a Printz-honoree, National
Book Award finalist, and Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist. A longtime
comics fan, her work caught the attention of DC Comics through superhero
material contained in Fly on the Wall and Genuine Fraud. Whistle is her
first graphic novel. Born in New York City, she grew up in Cambridge, MA
and Seattle and has a doctorate in English from Columbia University. She
lives in Brooklyn with her family and a team of cats.
*Kugel and Frijoles: Latino Jews in the United States*

November 10, 2pm - 2pm Eastern


*K**ugel and Frijoles: Latino Jews in the United States* analyzes the
changing construction of race and ethnicity in the United States through
the lens of contemporary Jewish immigrants from Latin America. Since Latino
Jews are not easily classified within the U.S. racial and ethnic schema,
their ethnic identity and group affiliation challenge existing paradigms.

This presentation introduces the stories of Latino Jewish immigrants and
lays out the important questions surrounding ethnic identity: How do Latino
Jews identify? Can they choose their identity or is it assigned to them?
How is ethnicity strategic or instrumental?Presenter Laura Limonic
illustrates how groups can be constructed when there is a lack of a perfect
host group and detail the ways different factors influence ethnic identity
and shape membership into ethnic groups affecting the trajectory of
immigrant incorporation.

Presenter: Laura Limonic is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the
College of Old Westbury of the State University of New York. Her research
is in the area of contemporary immigration to the United States and the
integration trajectories of ethnic and ethno-religious groups. Her recent
book on Latino Jews in the United States was honored as the 2019 best book
by the Latin American Jewish Studies Association. The book explores issues
of ethnicity, race, class and religious community building among Latino
Jewish immigrants in Boston, New York, Miami and Southern California. Her
work has been supported by the Berman Foundation and the Association of
Jewish Studies.Limonic is currently working a new project funded by the
Templeton Trust’s Global Research Religion Initiative. This research
examines the rise of Chabad-Lubavitch in Latin America and the role played
by transnational migrants within the movement.

Limonic received her PhD in Sociology from the CUNY Graduate Center in
2014. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin American Studies from
Brandeis University and a Master of International Affairs degree from
Columbia University.
