SUMMARY:Get Out the Vote for the November 3 Midterm Election
DESCRIPTION:Join TBS Tzedek’s Election Integrity Committee in the upcoming effort to Get Out The Vote for the November 3 Midterm election. Once again\, we are collaborating with the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC) and the Reform Movement’s Every Voice\, Every Vote Campaign to engage in a massive\, non-partisan postcard writing campaign. \nThere will be two options from which to choose (or choose both!):\nSend postcards to voters in communities outside of Massachusetts which are impacted by barriers to voting\n~and/or~ \nSend postcards to Massachusetts voters to vote “Yes on 9”. RAC Massachusetts has endorsed Ballot Question #9 to protect gun safety in Massachusetts Vote Yes: Protect MA Gun Safety Law in 2026\nEach packet contains 30 postcards with addresses and mailing instructions. TBS is making a congregational donation to the RAC so you do not have to make an individual donation for your postcards. If you are able to supply your own stamps to help defray TBS’s costs\, it would be most appreciated. Please do not let the cost of stamps be a barrier to your participation. You will just need to return your cards to TBS rather than mailing them yourself in order for us to cover the postage. \nCome to TBS for a postcard writing party or write them at your own convenience at home. \nSign up below to reserve your packet(s) of postcards and to let us know whether you plan to attend a TBS post-carding party. If you have questions\, email Gary and Shelley Goldman.

SUMMARY:Becoming Janet: A Holocaust Survivor's Journey
DESCRIPTION:Child Holocaust survivor\, Janet Singer Applefield (originally named “Gustawa”)\, has touched hundreds of thousands of people as a public speaker over the last 40 years. Her new memoir\, Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust\, shares her poignant journey as she triumphs over the darkest chapter in human history and maneuvers through terrifying situations that would paralyze most adults. The book reveals how hidden children\, periodically viewed as passive victims\, are often participants in their own survival. Ironically\, in her unique story\, the people who inflicted the lasting wounds on Janet were distant relatives\, while a few altruistic strangers protected her like family. \n“At a young age I learned the importance of secrecy and resilience. Without that\, there would likely be no memoir to write. Every time I speak\, it’s as if the 1\,500\,000 murdered children come back to listen. After the war\, my father emphasized the need to keep learning about what happened and to retell our story. He instilled in me the duty to speak for those who cannot. It’s a privilege to give voice to those children. That is what continues to give me a sense of purpose.” – Janet Singer Applefield \nPlease join the TBS Antisemitism Awareness Initiative (ASAI) as Janet shares her personal journey. There will be a Q&A\, meet and greet\, and breakfast will be served. If you want to learn more\, you are welcome to buy a copy of Janet’s book at the event or ahead of time.

Alan will reflect upon his father’s and uncle’s childhood growing up in an antisemitic and war-torn Germany. Theirs is an inspirational journey of bravery\, hope and resilience.

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
