Families and friends are having political\narguments\, avoiding each other\, or even cutting off lifelong relationships.\nAlthough the focus is on family relationships\, you can use the strategies in\nthis workshop with any loved one. You will laugh and have some fun in this\nworkshop. It will not be all serious. After all\, we all have quirky\nrelationships!\nSuccessfully “taming” our inner polarizer starts with recognizing our\ntendencies toward harmful generalizations about the other side. This also\nrequires acknowledging how we may attribute negative intent and motivations to\nthe other side without first trying to understand them. \n_In Partnership with Braver Angels (a non-religious organization that develops\neducational tools to build bridges between people divided over politics)._ \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/15565 URL:https://cincyjewfolk.com/event/families-politics-how-to-talk-about-politics-when-we-disagree/ LOCATION:Mayerson JCC 8485 Ridge Ave\, Cincinnati\, Ridge Avenue 8485\, Cincinnati\, Ohio\, 45236\, United States CATEGORIES:Adults,Educational,Grandparents,Mental Health,Older Adults,Parking (free),Politics & Current Affairs,Presentation,Wheelchair Accessible ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cincyjewfolk.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/26_60BPolitics_JLive_960x600ph-uZfPcE.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:20260804T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260804T203000 DTSTAMP:20260628T190532Z CREATED:20260421T173604Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260628T190532Z UID:10003393-1785866400-1785875400@cincyjewfolk.com SUMMARY:J Baby (Summer 2026) DESCRIPTION:Join in community with others who are expecting their first child during this\nprenatal series.

Each week\nwe’ll read a short section and come together to unpack the ideas\, ask big\nquestions\, and connect Jewish wisdom to our lives today. No background\nrequired—just curiosity and a willingness to read and think together. Come\nread with us! \n**When Bad Things Happen to Good People**\n _July 14\, 21 & 28_\nPresented by: Rabbi Jamie Starr\nJoin us for a learning session exploring Harold Kushner’s classic When Bad\nThings Happen to Good People. Together we will wrestle with questions of\nsuffering\, faith\, and resilience\, reading key passages and discussing their\nrelevance to our lives\, our communities\, and the challenges of living with\nuncertainty. Please bring a copy of the book and an open mind. \n**Seeing Into the Life of Things**\n _August 4\, 11 & 18_\nPresented by: Rabbi Neil Hirsch\nJoin us for a contemplative reading journey through Rodger Kamenetz’s newest\nwork\, Seeing Into the Life of Things\, a profound exploration of imagination as\na path to spiritual clarity and emotional healing. Drawing from his historic\nencounters with the Dalai Lama and his long engagement with poetry\, dreamwork\,\nand Jewish renewal\, Kamenetz invites us to slow down\, savor perception\, and\nrediscover the sacred moments embedded in our everyday images and memories.\nTogether\, we’ll read closely and reflect on his essential question: How do\nyour spiritual practices help you with negative emotions like anxiety\, envy\,\nresentment\, and shame? As we begin to look toward a new year\, the High Holy\nDays\, and the t’shuvah (repentance) of Yom Kippur\, reading this book together\nis a wonderful opportunity to reflect on life’s most essential spiritual\nquestions. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/15789 URL:https://cincyjewfolk.com/event/tuesdays-with-torah-read-with-me-10/ LOCATION:Wise Center 8329 Ridge Road\, Cincinnati CATEGORIES:Adults,Jewish Learning ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cincyjewfolk.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/Read_with_Me12-GId4QP.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Wise Learning":MAILTO:clawler@wisetemple.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260811T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260811T203000 DTSTAMP:20260628T190536Z CREATED:20260421T173605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260628T190536Z UID:10003394-1786471200-1786480200@cincyjewfolk.com SUMMARY:J Baby (Summer 2026) DESCRIPTION:Join in community with others who are expecting their first child during this\nprenatal series.

No background\nrequired—just curiosity and a willingness to read and think together. Come\nread with us! \n**When Bad Things Happen to Good People**\n _July 14\, 21 & 28_\nPresented by: Rabbi Jamie Starr\nJoin us for a learning session exploring Harold Kushner’s classic When Bad\nThings Happen to Good People.

As we begin to look toward a new year\, the High Holy\nDays\, and the t’shuvah (repentance) of Yom Kippur\, reading this book together\nis a wonderful opportunity to reflect on life’s most essential spiritual\nquestions. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/15789 URL:https://cincyjewfolk.com/event/tuesdays-with-torah-read-with-me-11/ LOCATION:Wise Center 8329 Ridge Road\, Cincinnati CATEGORIES:Adults,Jewish Learning ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cincyjewfolk.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/Read_with_Me12-GId4QP.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Wise Learning":MAILTO:clawler@wisetemple.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260818T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260818T203000 DTSTAMP:20260628T190538Z CREATED:20260421T173606Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260628T190538Z UID:10003395-1787076000-1787085000@cincyjewfolk.com SUMMARY:J Baby (Summer 2026) DESCRIPTION:Join in community with others who are expecting their first child during this\nprenatal series.
