SUMMARY:Aviv Giving Circle
DESCRIPTION:The Aviv giving circle is returning for its second year! A giving circle is a group of people who pool their charitable donations and decide together where to allocate their money. We will gather to learn and discuss Jewish perspectives on charitable donations\, then collectively decide where to give our money. This year\, we are focusing specifically on needs within New York City. \nThis is an opportunity for a small group of 10-15 Aviv folks to come together over the course of 2 months (1 session every other week from Wednesday February 1 to Wednesday\, March 15) to build community with fellow Aviv members\, discuss giving and social justice priorities\, pool resources\, and make a charitable gift to an organization of the group’s choosing. \nParticipating in a giving circle comes with a financial expectation. We understand that everyone’s financial situation looks different and what every individual is able to give may vary. The minimum requirement for this giving circle is $180. \nThe Aviv giving circle will be facilitated by Community Engagement Program Coordinator Margaret Piraino\, Social Action/Social Justice Manager Kiana Davis\, and Marshall T. Meyer Rabbinic fellow Alissa Platcow. \nExpress interest

SUMMARY:Poetry Remembers\, The Heart Sings
DESCRIPTION:After the expulsion from Spain and Portugal\, about 13\,000 Sephardim settled in Ottoman Macedonia. The only thing they could bring with them to the new geographical space was their rich oral cultural heritage\, mainly formed of poetry\, songs\, and proverbs in Ladino. Join Dr. Sofija Grandakovska for an exploration of how oral history constitutes the historical\, cultural\, and socio-religious life of the Sephardim in Ottoman Macedonia. \nSofija Grandakovska\, PhD\, is an Associate Professor teaching comparative literature and anthropology of genocide in the Department of Anthropology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice\, The City University of New York. She specializes in Comparative Literature and Genocide Studies and has published several scholarly monographs such as “Miniatures and Maximums” (2020)\, “Portrait of the Image”(2010)\, and “Discourse of the Prayer” (2008)\, among others. She is an editor and co-author of the bilingual chrestomathy “The Jews From Macedonia and the Holocaust: History\, Theory\, Culture( (2011). Her new scholarly book “Abraham\, can you hear me?”\, based on her discovery of original archival documents of the Jewish tragedy in Macedonia and Yugoslavia\, will be released in 2023. Sofija Grandakovska is also the author of three books of poetry: “Signet”\, “The Burning Sun” and “The Eighth Day”.
