Liberal, Progressive, Zionist: Judaism’s Place in Intersectionality
A discussion with Hen Mazzig, Israeli activist and speaker
How can one be progressive, LGBTQ, a person of color, and unabashedly pro-Israel? Hen Mazzig will tell us how through a discussion about personal and political identities, and how storytelling impacts our own identities and relationships. He will also explore how these identities shape his perspective on the events since October 7th and the current situation in Israel.
Join us for this timely and important discussion at the 77th Annual Meeting of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Community Relations Committee & Sidney Z. Vincent Memorial Lecture.

*In 1948, David Ben-Gurion became the face of a great new generation of Jews. His single-minded passion for the Jewish people is as much a part of his legacy as is the State of Israel itself. Today, the Ben-Gurion Society (BGS) embodies that legacy: young men and women combining their knowledge, passion, and resources to build a strong and responsible Jewish community, at home, in Israel, and around the world. The Ben-Gurion Society includes all donors, ages 22-45, who commit a minimum gift of $1,000 to the annual Campaign for Jewish Needs.
February 25 and 27
Gallery Open House and Curator Talk
SEE ME
Photographs by Michal Chelbin
Curated by Matthew Garson
"SEE ME" explores the artist’s play on one's identity. Michal Chelbin’s photography attempts to capture human stories in everyday life; the identities of people not in the mainstream, many of them belonging to the edge of society and existing in the space between the odd and the ordinary. Her main themes are not social or topical, but collective and mythical; she searches for people who have a legendary quality in them.
