Author recalls experience growing up in the South during the Civil Rights era
|
|
In 1967, Jo Ivester’s father gave up a thriving medical practice in the Boston suburbs to run a clinic in a small, all-black town deep in the cotton fields of Mississippi. Tomboyish 10- year-old, Ivester viewed the move as the start of a great adventure. Her mother Aura put on a brave face but was privately terrified to uproot the Northern Jewish family to the Jim Crow South during the tumultuous days of theCivil Rights struggle.
“We were Northerners; we were Jewish and, just by being in this town, we were going to be working for civil rights,” Ivester told a riveted crowd at the Katz JCC on Jan. 25.

Senator Robert Menendez to Keynote JCRC’s 48th Annual Middle East Institute
|
|
NJ Senator Robert Menendez will be the keynote speaker at the 48th annual Middle East Institute on Sunday evening, March 5th. The program will be held at Temple Beth Sholom in Cherry Hill. The timeliness of the Senator’s visit cannot be overstated. Just last week, following the provocative Iranian ballistic missile launch, Senator Menendez spoke out against Iran, strongly condemning the country and calling on the U.S. government not to overlook it’s actions.
The Middle East Institute is JCRC’s showcase fundraising and educational program intended to highlight current events impacting Israel and the Middle East. Funds raised will be used to strengthen Israel education and advocacy training for Jewish teens, in partnership with area synagogues and day schools, throughout our community.
