SUMMARY:Tragic Awakening Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Your TBS Antisemitism Awareness Initiative (ASAI) invites you to a short and powerful film presentation that goes beyond the historical cliches and platitudes surrounding antisemitism. Through this film we learn the intent and consequence of modern antisemitism; understand the 3\,000 year build up to today’s tragic awakenings; and begin to resolve how to deal with it. – Where does this hatred come from? – Why is it always morphing? – How did its uniqueness evolve? Through the eyes of many notable quotables\, “Tragic Awakening” will leave you clear-eyed on the history of Jew Hatred. As importantly\, it will highlight the moral responsibility of Judaism to repair and enlighten the very world that periodically endangers it. “The Jewish people’s purpose is to bring out the soul of humanity.” Join us at 9:30 A.M. on March 15 for bagels and coffee. Following the film\, Rabbi Jay will lead a post-screening discussion. Trailer available on YouTube.\nContact: ASAI

SUMMARY:"Life Without Parole: Not a "Get-Out-of-Jail-Free" Proposition
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that you could be convicted of a crime you did not commit\, but may have participated in\, under a little-known—and confusing–theory called “Joint Venture”? A joint venturer is someone who aids in the commission of a crime. The actual perpetrator may serve his or her time and be released while\, in Massachusetts\, the joint venturer can be sentenced to life without parole. “Felony murder” laws hold people liable for murder if they participated in a felony\, such as a robbery\, that resulted in someone’s death. These laws impose sentences on people who neither intended to kill nor anticipated a death\, and even on those who did not participate in the killing. One out of six people incarcerated in Massachusetts is serving a LWOP sentence\, thus stripped of hope and denied their capacity to rehabilitate. Shockingly\, Massachusetts is second only to Louisiana for having the highest percentage in the country of those incarcerated serving LWOP. The Coalition to End Life Without Parole (CELWOP) supports An Act to Reduce Mass Incarceration and The Elder Parole Bill. These bills would eliminate LWOP by mandating parole review eligibility in all instances starting at 25 years of incarceration\, stopping prisons from acting as nursing homes\, and establishing restorative justice programs for those incarcerated in Massachusetts on sentences in excess of 25 years. Learn about CELWOP’s work with faith-based groups\, unions\, schools and colleges\, community-based and activist organizations\, to challenge false the narrative that people convicted of violent offenses are irredeemable and undeserving of a second chance. Hear directly from formerly incarcerated panelists\, followed by Q&A. Panel will be moderated by Cynthia Kussy-Goldberg\, Community Organizer for CELWOP and Director of the F8Foundation\, which helps men and women who are returning to society acclimate and succeed. \nWith gratitude to the Jewish Alliance of Law and Social Action for supporting this platform. \nRegister: t-b-s.me/lifewithoutparole
