SUMMARY:Scholars in Session: Advice Columns and the American Press with Ayelet Brinn\, UofM Frankel Fellow
DESCRIPTION:At the turn of the twentieth century\, American Yiddish advice columns were\nmore than entertainment—they became vital guides that helped new immigrants\nnavigate personal struggles\, American politics\, and Jewish communal life while\nforging deep\, trust-based relationships between newspapers and readers. \nBrinn delves into how these columns transformed the Yiddish press into a\ncentral institution of immigrant acclimation\, extending their influence beyond\nthe page and into readers’ everyday lives.\n** **\n_SAJE programming is endowed by a generous gift from Cis Maisel and supported\nby Carol & Ronald P. Fogel\, Sheri & David Jaffa\, and Elaine & Michael Serling\nthrough The J’s Pillar of Light Program. SAJE inspires meaningful connections\nand important conversations. This program is proudly supported by the Jean &\nSamuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan._ \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/13987

SUMMARY:LUNCH WITH THE AUTHORS featuring Jacqueline Friedland and Tova Mirvis
DESCRIPTION:Featuring authors Jacqueline Friedland and Tova Mirvis \nIn **_Counting Backwards_** by Jacqueline Friedland\, Jessica Gidney’s quest\nfor justice in a routine immigration case draws her into the heart of an\nabhorrent conspiracy and a shocking legacy. As she uncovers her ties to a\nheartbreaking past\, her life takes a dramatic turn in this emotionally\nriveting novel inspired by true events. Counting Backwards is a compelling\,\nmoving story of two remarkable women that you’ll remember for years to come. \n**_We Would Never_** by Tova Mirvis is a riveting literary page turner that\nmaps the extremes to which a family will go in to protect their own. Inspired\nby a true story\, We Would Never is a gripping mystery\, compassionate family\ndrama\, and a provocative exploration of loyalty\, betrayal\, and the blurred\nline between protecting and forsaking the ones we love most.
