The Daffodil Campaign: Remembering the Warsaw Uprising
2023-04-19 | AL, United States
The Daffodil Campaign is a public history project that seeks to educate about the history of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising — the largest uprising by Jews during World War II. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the event, which lasted 27 days and was the first significant urban revolt in Europe against Nazi occupation.
The Alabama Holocaust Education Center is bringing the event to Birmingham for the first time this year. On Wednesday, April 19, everyone passing through the lobby at The J is invited to pin on and wear a paper daffodil in memory of the thousands who perished in the uprising.
The campaign was initiated by the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in 2013, and has since occurred annually in Warsaw and other cities around the world.

Jewish Culture and Conversation

Have you ever wondered why there are so many Jews in Hollywood? Why do Jews eat gefilte fish and cholent and wish each other mazal tov and l’chaim? What are the causes of antisemitism? What does Judaism say about Christianity? And what are the roles of women in Jewish life?
If these questions intrigue you, then you might want to show up for our latest venture with Rabbi Yossi Friedman. The weekly course is open to everyone and will meet conveniently at noon (before mahjong) in the Senior Lounge. Bring your own lunch or pre-order it from Bo’s Kosher Cafe.

SPECIAL DAY: Yom Hazikaron
2023-04-25 | AL, United States
