SUMMARY:Gems at the J | International Holocaust Remembrance Day Screening of 999 The Forgotten Girls
DESCRIPTION:New Date! (Rescheduled from 1/27) \nTo commemorate Yom Hashoah\, the JCC will present an in-person screening of the documentary\, 999 The Forgotten Girls\, which sheds light on a wrenching true story. In March 1942\, nearly 1000 young Slovak Jewish women\, mostly teenagers\, told by their government that they were embarking on a work assignment\, were instead illegally deported to Auschwitz on what was the first Jewish transport to the Nazi Death Camp. The documentarian\, Heather Dune Macadam\, tells the story of a small group of Jewish women who survived against all odds\, even under unimaginable conditions for more than three grueling years. The film includes recorded testimony by some of the survivors themselves. \nAfter the screening\, Tammy Forstater\, the daughter of one of the survivors of this transport\, the late Ida Eigerman\, will offer a Q&A and will be happy to share about Ida’s personal experiences. Tammy’s sister Sharon\, and her daughter Daniella may join her. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Gems at the J | When Life Changes: Understanding Grief and Building Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Molly Grace Hicks\, MMT\, MT-BC\, FT is a Board-Certified Music Therapist and Fellow in Thanatology. Molly is the founder of a private music therapy practice\, Connected Voice Creative Healing\, supporting people who are experiencing grief and loss\, life transitions\, and spiritual struggles. Previously\, Molly worked in hospice care from 2008 to 2024. Molly also enjoys songwriting\, creating mixed media art\, and engaging in interfaith community work. \n  \nDates & Workshop Descriptions: \nWednesday\, February 18; 2-3:30 p.m.\nWorkshop 1: Grief and Loss: Understanding the Ongoing Process \nThis workshop will explore the basics of grief and loss\, offering ways to understand the process\, recognize the many possible grief responses across all domains of life\, and learn resources for coping. There are many modern frameworks for learning about grief\, and most do not present a set series of stages followed in a particular order. However\, there are some misconceptions about grief that are culturally perpetuated and may do harm if not contextualized. This workshop will give attendees a basic vocabulary for thinking and dialoguing about grief\, emphasizing its non-linear nature\, the importance of self-compassion\, and the necessity of support. One goal is for each attendee to leave with a way of conceiving of the grief process that feels accessible and relevant to their lives. \n  \nTuesday\, March 10; 2-3:30 p.m.\nWorkshop 2: Going Through Changes: Non-Death Grief and Loss \nGrief arises as we experience various life milestones\, changes in health and ability\, and social relationships\, to name a few. Attendees will learn about non-death losses that may be well-defined\, ambiguous or a little of each\, and will leave with a framework for resilience that may be helpful in coping. \n  \nTuesday\, April 21\, 2-3:30 p.m.\nWorkshop 3: Moving Through\, Not Getting Over: Death-Related Grief and Loss \nThis workshop will focus on some of the common experiences connected to the dying and/or death of a person in our lives. Attendees will learn more about the natural process of grief\, integrating grief into one’s life\, and how to recommend support or seek it for oneself when acute grief may be complicated or prolonged. \nClick here to register!\nTo register for individual dates\, email rsakofs@phillyjcc.com \n  \nThis workshop series is in partnership with:
