Community Events and Announcements |

The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans and ADL South Central invite our Greater New Orleans Jewish community to join us for a special briefing and town hall this upcoming TODAY, January 20 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss security concerns and next steps.
You'll hear from law enforcement officials, our partners at Secure Community Network (SCN), and local leaders about what we're doing to keep our community safe - and how you can be a part of that effort.

Join us at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience or virtually on January 27th from 6:00-7:30pm for a conversation and book signing with author and nationally-recognized sports journalist Ivan Maisel as he discusses his emotional memoir, I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye. Maisel, the son of first generation Jewish immigrants from Mobile, Alabama, writes about the complicated relationship and transformative reality of the suicide of his son Max in February 2015 and the healing that continues after.
I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye is a stunning, poignant exploration of the father and son
relationship, of how our tendency to overlook men’s mental health can have devastating
consequences, and how ultimately letting those who grieve do so openly and freely can lead
to greater healing.
Jewish Family Services will be on site to share information about suicide prevention and family counseling.
