SUMMARY:The Michael Sockol Jewish Writers Fund: Traveling the Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:What exactly makes someone Jewish? Is being Jewish an ethnic characteristic\, is it based on beliefs\, or is it cultural? In his book\, Fragile Branches: Travels Through the Jewish Diaspora\, Professor James Ross recounts his journeys among the world’s most far-flung Jewish communities in countries including Uganda\, India\, Peru\, and Brazil. Mr. Ross will describe how these communities discovered Judaism\, and explore their distinctive practices and rituals. As well\, we will learn the ways that geographical isolation allowed for both the preservation and evolution of Jewish traditions. Mr. Ross forcefully argues for the integrity of his subjects’ religious identity\, and against parochial notions of Judaism that would exclude them: “These disparate communities are searching for their places in the world. How we … respond to them is nothing less than a reflection of how we look at ourselves.” When not traveling across the Jewish diaspora\, Mr. Ross taught at Northeastern University where he was the Stotsky Professor of Jewish Historical and Cultural Studies.\nContact: Adult Learning

SUMMARY:Annual Marc Comras Award + TBS Author Doug Most: Launching Liberty
DESCRIPTION:Join TBS Brotherhood and the Adult Learning Committee for a full bagel-and-lox “Brotherhood Breakfast” honoring Roberta Gerson with the Marc Comras Award for outstanding service to our temple. \nFollowing the presentation\, TBS member Doug Most introduces his latest book\, Launching Liberty: The Epic Race to Build the Ships That Took America to War. Launching Liberty tells the remarkable story of how FDR partnered with private businessmen to produce cargo freighters longer than a football field – ships he affectionately dubbed “ugly ducklings.” As German U-boats maintained their attacks\, Roosevelt initiated a bold nationwide competition among shipyards to see who could construct ships the fastest. Driven by duty and the thrill of innovation\, workers reduced the shipbuilding timeline from months to weeks and then to days. Doug will recount the untold and inspiring stories of those who rose to the challenge during one of America’s most critical and tumultuous times. \nA prolific writer and journalist\, Doug\, in addition to his new World War II book\, Launching Liberty\, is the author of three books\, including the best-selling The Race Underground. A former Boston Globe editor\, he serves as the Executive Editor at Boston University.
