SUMMARY:CABS Opening Event ~ Michael Kimmel
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 25\, 2026\n2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nBoonshoft Center for Jewish Culture and Education\n525 Versailles Drive\nCenterville\, OH 45459 \nMichael Kimmel\nPlaymakers: The Jewish Entrepreneurs Who Created the Toy Industry in America \nDiscover the untold story of first-generation Jewish American toymakers who helped manufacture “the century of the child.” In 1902\, Morris and Rose Michtom stitched together the first Teddy Bear in the back room of their Brooklyn candy store\, sparking the Ideal Toy Corporation and a booming toy world created by fellow immigrant pioneers like Hasbro\, Mattel\, and Lionel Trains. In Playmakers\, Michael Kimmel traces how Jewish founders\, designers\, and storytellers shaped an idealized American childhood—from Barbie and G.I. Joe to Superman and Mr. Potato Head. He reveals how outsider tenement life fueled a culture of imagination\, acceptance\, and endless fantasy. \nNo Cost. Please bring a new toy for donation to FLOC – For Love of Children to be distributed in the community this holiday season. \nQuestions? Contact Stacy Emoff at semoff@jfgd.net. \nIn partnership with Miami Valley Jewish Genealogy & History.

SUMMARY:CABS ~ Liz Hirsh Naftali
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 15\, 2026\n9:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. \nTemple Israel\n130 Riverside Drive\nDayton\, OH 45405 \nLiz Hirsh Naftali\nSaving Abigail: The True Story of the Abduction and Rescue of a Three-Year-Old Hostage \nSaving Abigail is a gripping true story of courage\, resilience\, and the extraordinary power of family in the face of unimaginable tragedy. On October 7\, 2023\, three-year-old Abigail Mor Edan’s world was shattered when Hamas terrorists attacked her Israeli community\, murdering her parents and abducting her into Gaza. Alone\, vulnerable\, and held hostage amid a rapidly escalating conflict\, Abigail became one of the many innocent victims caught in a devastating geopolitical crisis. Refusing to accept the unthinkable\, Abigail’s great-aunt\, Liz Hirsh Naftali\, launched an urgent and relentless campaign to bring her home. With no diplomatic training\, political influence\, or blueprint to follow\, Liz navigated the highest levels of government\, rallied bipartisan support\, and captured international attention with Abigail’s heartbreaking story. Part thriller\, part testament to human determination\, Saving Abigail reveals how one woman’s unwavering love and persistence helped rescue a child from captivity and inspired hope in the darkest of times. \n$10/person (includes brunch). \nQuestions? Contact Stacy Emoff at semoff@jfgd.net. \nIn partnership with Temple Israel Brotherhood’s Ryterband Lecture Series.

SUMMARY:CABS ~ Rebecca Blumenstein and Diana Kapp
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, December 13\, 2026\n2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nWright Memorial Public Library\n1776 Far Hills Avenue\nOakwood\, OH 45419 \nRebecca Blumenstein and Diana Kapp\nThe Last Free Women: A Daring Escape From Afghanistan and Coming of Age in America \nThe Last Free Women is a powerful true story of survival\, courage\, and second chances set against the dramatic fall of Afghanistan in August 2021. As the Taliban swept into Kabul\, dreams that had taken years to build vanished overnight. For young women like Marwa\, Mursal\, Maryam\, and Samira\, the future they had envisioned was suddenly replaced by fear\, uncertainty\, and a desperate race to escape. At the center of this extraordinary story is Rebecca Blumenstein\, a senior journalist who helped orchestrate one of the largest privately sponsored refugee evacuations in modern American history. Working against impossible odds\, she led efforts that brought hundreds of Afghans to safety and helped them begin anew in the United States. Through the intertwined journeys of four remarkable women\, The Last Free Women explores resilience\, identity\, and hope. It is a moving portrait of lives uprooted by conflict and the determination to rebuild\, belong\, and thrive in a new world. \nNo cost. \nQuestions? Contact Stacy Emoff at semoff@jfgd.net. \nIn partnership with Wright Memorial Public Library and Hadassah.

SUMMARY:CABS ~ Roberta Rosenthal Kwall
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 21\, 2027\n7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. \nVia Zoom \nRoberta Rosenthal Kwall\nPolarized: Why American Jews are Divided and What to Do about It \nIn a time of deep division and rising tensions\, Professor Roberta Rosenthal Kwall explores the growing fractures within American Jewish life and the challenges they pose for the future. Examining debates over religious identity\, Israel\, antisemitism\, politics\, and generational change\, she reveals how differing values and experiences have intensified polarization\, particularly following the October 7 attacks and the Israel-Hamas war. Drawing on law\, history\, sociology\, psychology\, and Jewish tradition\, Kwall offers both a compelling diagnosis and a hopeful path forward. This timely and thought-provoking book presents a blueprint for rebuilding a strong\, inclusive center where respectful dialogue can flourish despite profound disagreement. \nNo cost.
