TIME CAPSULES UNDER THE RUBBLE:
THE RINGELBLUM ARCHIVE IN THE WARSAW GHETTO
Speaker: Dr. Samuel Kassow
Sunday, FEBRUARY 4, 11:00 am ET
FREE IN-PERSON; advance registration required
Florida Atlantic University (FAU Boca)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Friedberg Auditorium
777 Glades Road, Boca Raton 33431
During World War II Jews resisted not only with guns but also with pen and paper. Even in the face of death they left “time capsules” full of documents that they buried under the rubble of ghettos and death camps. They were determined that posterity would remember them on the basis of Jewish and not German sources. The Ringelblum archive in the Warsaw Ghetto buried thousands of documents. But of the 60 people who worked on this national mission, only three survived. This will be their story.

JERUSALEM AND THE DISPUTED TERRITORIES:
Definitive Sovereignty in International Law
Speaker: Dr. JACQUES P. GAUTHIER
Sunday, FEBRUARY 18, 11:00 am ET
FREE IN-PERSON; advance registration required
Florida Atlantic University (FAU Boca)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Friedberg Auditorium
777 Glades Road, Boca Raton 33431
The answers to the question of Israel’s entitlements in respect to the City of Jerusalem and the disputed territories under international law depend on certain prior legally binding decisions which are reflected in international legal instruments. Frequently, allegations of violations of international law against the State of Israel are based on political arguments devoid of legal merit. False narratives are accepted by many globally in the midst of rising antisemitism disguised as anti-Israel/Zionist initiatives. In order to counter the weaponization of international law against Israel, it is vital to increase the knowledge and understanding of the international law sources of the territorial sovereignty entitlements of Israel.

MEET THE AUTHOR: Royal Coconut Beach by Diane Bergner

IN-PERSON PROGRAM - $10 pp; advance registration required
Mandel JCC, 8500 Jog Road, Boynton Beach 33472
Book discussion, followed by a live Q&A with the author. Julia Wild was thrilled to trade her legal briefcase for stiletto heels and a glam wardrobe when she accepted the position as a high society fundraiser at a prestigious performing arts center. The Addison Center is supported by mega-donations from the ultra-rich in Royal Coconut Beach, but the gala lifestyle is a minefield. But what really matters are the fascinating and strong-willed women who become her confidantes. They meet regularly for lunch, gossip, subtle lessons, and cocktails - while they dissect the wealth-fueled dynamics of the rich and powerful.
