JCRC Annual Meeting 2026 DESCRIPTION:**_Check-in opens at 6:00 p.m.; Program begins at 6:30.p.m._** \nNews coverage in a post-October 7th world has changed what our community sees\,\nbelieves\, and feels. And the stories that don’t get covered have changed us\njust as much. \nWhat’s getting through? What’s getting lost? \nAt this year’s JCRC Annual Meeting\, Jewish journalists from across the\nideological spectrum sit down for a candid conversation about covering Jewish\nlife in America right now. Antisemitism. Israel coverage. Campus upheaval. The\nonline spaces reshaping what people know and what they miss. \nThese are reporters who live inside this story every day. They’ll talk about\nwhat they see\, what they struggle to report\, and what matters most in their\nwork. \nThe evening also includes a brief annual meeting business segment\, including\nrecognition of new JCRC board members. \n**Open to the full community and our civic partners.** \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14766 URL:https://cincyjewfolk.com/event/newsworthy-or-not-jcrc-annual-meeting-2026-2/ LOCATION:Mayerson JCC 8485 Ridge Ave\, Cincinnati\, Ridge Avenue 8485\, Cincinnati\, Ohio\, 45236\, United States CATEGORIES:Adults,Advocacy,Beverages (non alcoholic),Closed Captions,Food Provided,Kosher Food ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cincyjewfolk.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/03/2026_JCRC_Annual_Meeting_JLive_Image_Concepts_960x600-03_1-ZkM2M8.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Jewish Federation of Cincinnati":MAILTO:ckatzman@jfedcin.org GEO:39.2158032;-84.4287563 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mayerson JCC 8485 Ridge Ave Cincinnati Ridge Avenue 8485 Cincinnati Ohio 45236 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Ridge Avenue 8485:geo:-84.4287563,39.2158032 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260417T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260417T193000 DTSTAMP:20260406T095856 CREATED:20260317T155107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260406T135021Z UID:10003184-1776448800-1776454200@cincyjewfolk.com SUMMARY:Rabbi Scott Shafrin Installation Weekend DESCRIPTION:Join us for a meaningful weekend of celebration\, learning\, and community as we\ngather for the Installation of Rabbi Scott Shafrin as Senior Rabbi of Adath\nIsrael Congregation.

For decades\, Israel served as a unifying symbol across the global\nJewish community—but in recent years\, and especially following the events of\nOctober 7\, 2023\, it has become a source of pain\, tension\, and deep\ndisagreement. \nThis course aims to foster a renewed sense of shared peoplehood by exploring\nthe values that shape diverse Jewish perspectives on Israel and the\nIsraeli–Palestinian conflict. Together\, we will engage with themes such as\njustice\, security\, dignity\, peoplehood\, and peace. Rather than advocating a\nsingle political stance\, we will cultivate space for respectful dialogue\,\nstrengthening our ability to learn from one another\, stay connected across\ndifferences\, and hold complexity with honesty and care. \n**Registration requested.

DESCRIPTION:This program is open to all\, not just 60 & Better members. \nAmericans have rarely been as polarized as we are today. We are aware of how\npolarized our country is: Democrats\, Republicans\, and Independents seemingly\nlive in separate and divided worlds. Political disagreements aren’t wrong\, in\nfact\, this is an important part of a healthy democracy. The difference in our\ncurrent situation is that the political divisions are limiting our ability to\nfunction effectively as a country and straining relationships. A Pew Research\nStudy in October 2019 found an overwhelming majority of respondents wanted\nless divisiveness and more cooperation. However\, polarization is not just an\nAmerican problem but it is a worldwide problem. \nJoin us to review eleven key sources that are contributing to polarization.\nThen discover tools and skills to help us overcome this divisiveness and\nbridge the divide. \n_Brought to you in partnership with Braver Angels._ \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14337 URL:https://cincyjewfolk.com/event/polarizations-impact-on-our-world-what-can-we-do/ LOCATION:Mayerson JCC 8485 Ridge Ave\, Cincinnati\, Ridge Avenue 8485\, Cincinnati\, Ohio\, 45236\, United States CATEGORIES:Adults,Educational,Older Adults,Parking (free),Politics & Current Affairs,Wheelchair Accessible ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cincyjewfolk.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/26_60B_Polarizations_Impact_Jlive_Hero_960600px-m3WBwW.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="60 &%3B Better | Mayerson JCC":MAILTO:lliner@mayersonjcc.org GEO:39.2158032;-84.4287563 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mayerson JCC 8485 Ridge Ave Cincinnati Ridge Avenue 8485 Cincinnati Ohio 45236 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Ridge Avenue 8485:geo:-84.4287563,39.2158032 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260429T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260429T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T095856 CREATED:20260219T011148Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260219T011148Z UID:10002991-1777485600-1777492800@cincyjewfolk.com SUMMARY:JWriters: A Monthly Jewish Writers Group DESCRIPTION:JWriters is Cincy Jewfolk’s new monthly writers group for people who want to make space for writing\, reflection\, and connection. Whether you’re a longtime writer or just beginning\, JWriters offers a supportive\, low-pressure environment to build\, revisit\, or start a writing practice. \nThis group is designed as a safe and welcoming space to carve out dedicated time to write\, marrying a love of writing with Judaism\, and connecting with others through creativity and shared experience. Every session will start with a Jewish theme or prompt\, then expand to wherever your creativity takes you. \nWriters can choose to share their work and receive feedback if they wish\, but sharing is always optional. At its heart\, JWriters is about showing up\, putting words on the page\, and building a new creative community within our community. \nJWriters will be led by Melissa W. Hunter\, local author\, columnist\, and podcaster. \n\nProgram Details\n\nMeeting cadence: Monthly Meet Up\nLocation: Location will be shared after RSVP\nDates: March 25 • April 29 • May 27 • June 24 • July 29 • August 26\nTime: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nWho it’s for: Anyone with a passion for writing and a love of Judaism.\nWhat to bring / how to prepare:\n1. Something to write with (notebook\, laptop\, tablet\, journal . . . whatever works best for you)\n2. Any current writing project you’re working on (optional)\n3. Headphones if you like quiet focus or music while writing (optional)\n4. Respect for others’ voices and experiences\n\n\nA Welcome Note From Melissa W. Hunter\, Our JWriters Facilitator\nI’m excited to lead JWriters because both writing and Judaism are a source of joy in my own life. I have made a career as a Jewish writer\, and I look forward to sharing the beauty\, meaning\, and joy of writing from a Jewish lens with others. \nMy hope is that this group becomes a space to write freely\, connect with like-minded people\, and find community. \nWriting\, especially in a Jewish communal space\, can be a way to explore topics that live at the intersection of identity\, memory\, tradition\, and meaning. Whether journaling\, writing poetry\, personal essays\, or working on a larger manuscript for publication\, I hope participants feel supported in their creative process and inspired to keep writing. \nI am the author of two Jewish novels as well as co-host of the podcast The Kibbitz with Cincy Jewfolk. My award-winning debut novel What She Lost tells the true-life story of my grandmother\, a Holocaust survivor. My latest novel\, Eight Wishes\, is a holiday romance that unfolds over the eight nights of Hanukkah. I am also a contributor to Jewfolk publications\, and my current novel ADAM is being published on Cincy Jewfolk in serial installments. My short stories have appeared in the Jewish Literary Journal as well. \nI grew up in Cincinnati and studied creative writing and journalism at the University of Cincinnati\, receiving a BA in English literature and a minor in Judaic studies. My other writing has appeared on Kveller.com\, LiteraryMama.com\, Booksbywomen.org\, the Today Show parenting website\, The American Israelite\, and TheSame.blog\, an online literary journal written for women by women. \nWhen not at my computer\, I love spending family time with my husband and two wonderful daughters\, and I am never without a cup of coffee in my hands and my Maltipoo Kugel in my lap! \n\nJoin Us\nClick here to RSVP \n\nHow JWriters Is Shaped\nJWriters reflects one of Jewfolk\, Inc.’s core values: Storytelling – Sipur Sipurim. We have a sacred obligation to link the past and future by sharing the Jewish stories of today. Through Jewfolk\, Inc.’s signature Human Centered Design approach\, this group is shaped by what people in our community bring to us: their questions\, their needs\, and their creative wants. By centering real voices and real experiences\, JWriters links past and future through writing that is shared\, communal\, and deeply human.
