Jazz Concert of the Israeli and American Songbook featuring Ira Sullivan

Sunday, April 15 • 4:00pm The Alper JCC Sablotsky Cultural Arts Center presents a Jazz Concert of the Israeli and American Songbook - a unique musical project where classical Israeli songs are played in a jazz style. It is common in jazz that the American songbook is played in jazz but to the best of our knowledge, no one has taken the Israeli songbook and played it in a jazz style. This concert features legendary jazz musician, Ira Sullivan, as well as Marc Berner and Gideon Vigderhous and additional musicians of the rhythm section who will lend their musical creativity to the ensemble, making it a joy to listen to.

Ira Sullivan is a true jazz legend whose roots go back so far that he was jamming with the cool cats in Chicago for the birth of Bebop. Ira Sullivan is multi-faceted musician and composer who calls Washington, D.C. his birthplace. Around 1963, Sullivan moved to Miami to raise his family. And now over 50 years later, he will be performing at the Alper JCC’s own Russell Theater. Tickets: $15 JCC Member • $20 Community

April 3rd at 7:00 p.m."Heading Home" Miami Debut Film Screening

Temple Beth Sholom Brotherhood invites you to a stirring story of sports, patriotism and personal growth. HEADING HOME charts the underdog journey of Israel’s national baseball team competing for the first time in the World Baseball Classic.

After years of defeat, Team Israel finally ranks among the world’s best in 2017,eligible to play in the prestigious international tournament. Their line-up included several Jewish American Major League players – Ike Davis, Josh Zeid and ex Braves catcher Ryan Lavarnway – most with a tenuous relationship to Judaism, and never having set foot in Israel.

Their odyssey takes them from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem where they are greeted as heroes, to Seoul where they must debunk their has-been, wannabe reputations. As their “Mensch on a Bench” mascot tags along, the team does much soul-searching, discovering the pride of representing Israel on the world stage.

Special thanks to the Stowe family for generously underwriting this film-screening

NCJW Miami: What Jewish Families Need To Know About Hereditary Cancer

On Wednesday, April 11, NCJW Miami will host an event about what Jewish families need to know about hereditary cancer.

Date: Wednesday, April 11 Time: 7 - 9 p.m. Location: Temple Beth Sholom

There is no charge to attend, and it is open to men and women in the community. RSVP and more information at www.ncjwmiami.org/brca

Studies have shown that 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jews (men and women) have a BRCA mutation--and most are unaware! Compare that to the general population incidence, where BRCA mutations occur in 1/300-1/800 people. Woman who carry a BRCA mutation have up to a 90% lifetime risk of breast can- cer and up to a 50% risk of ovarian cancer. Men also have just as much of a chance of having this mutation, and run a higher risk of prostate and male breast cancers. If we can identify who carries these genetic mutations before they develop cancer, we can prevent cancer.

Speakers: Dr. Liz Etkin-Kramer, Ob/gyn in practice on Miami Beach for 25 years. Dr. Etkin-Kramer is the founder of Yodeah, a nonprofit organization committed to educating about hereditary cancer in the Jewish Community and facilitating cost-effective genetic testing. Knowledge is power and Knowledge saves lives.

Briana Schwarz, is Sharsheret’s Florida Regional Director. Sharsheret is a national not-for-profit or- ganization supporting Jewish women and families facing breast cancer.

Genetic Testing: Color Genomics will provide a lab representative and a genetic counselor to administer saliva testing. The testing is very cost effective; for BRCA genes it is $99, and for a multigene panel of 30 different hereditary cancer genes it is $150. The testing results are emailed to you within 4 weeks and you have the additional option of reviewing the results with a genetic counselor on the phone. This consult is included in the lab cost.
