Schmooze News

  • Central 20s & 30s
    • Drawing Strength: The Jewish History of Comics
      Wednesday, December 27, 1:30–2:30pm, Center for Jewish History

      Accompanied by a knowledgeable museum guide, we’ll delve into the vibrant origin story of the comic book industry, celebrate renowned Jewish comic writers and artists across generations, and explore the compelling connection between comics and fighting fascism. REGISTER
       
  • Donate to Aid in the Israel-Palestine Crisis 
    • We are heartbroken and devastated by the war in Israel and Gaza. You can contribute to GlobalGiving's Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund, which provides emergency relief and long-term support to people in need.
       
  • Donate to Aid in the Ukraine Crisis
    • Last February, WJOA member Jonah Schrogin volunteered at JCC Krakow, where he packed and sorted food for Ukrainian refugees. If you'd like to contribute to JCC Krakow's Ukraine relief program, here is their Ukraine Appeal. JCC Krakow is a 501(c)(3) organization, so any donations made are tax-deductible. Please write “Ukraine donation via Jonah Schrogin, int vol” in the comment box. 
       
    • Jonah has another fundraiser, this one benefitting GlobalGiving's Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. This supports more than 80 non-profit organizations on the ground in Ukraine and in the surrounding areas providing humanitarian aid, such as shelter, medical care, food, and clean water. Contribute here, and you can get more information by emailing Jonah, including seeing a recorded presentation.
       
  • Donate to Aid Wildfire Survivors in Hawaii
    • Contribute to GlobalGiving's Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund here. The worst wildfires in Hawaii's history have caused more than 90 deaths, left dozens injured, and reduced towns to ash. Hundreds of people are missing. Strong winds from Hurricane Dora fueled the flames in Maui and the Big Island. Your donation to the Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund will support wildfire relief and recovery efforts in affected communities.
Have an event you'd like to organize or share? As always, please don't hesitate to send them our way!
