Join us for this JCC Special Speaker Series event with Alyson Richman and Shaunna J. Edwards, authors of The Thread Collectors. Inspired by the author's own histories, The Thread Collectors is a rich historical novel set during the Civil War about two women-one black and yearning for freedom in New Orleans, the other a Jewish abolitionist in New York- whose resourceful sewing to support their communities leads them on unexpected, dangerous journeys as they fight to bring their loved ones home from the front. The two main characters are based on real ancestors of the authors.

MBJCC Stories: Powered by Community

"My daughter, Charlie, and I were at the beach this morning making a sandcastle “town” together. We created lots of big and small buildings and talked about everything that goes into a happy town. We made a hospital, police station, school, shopping mall, bank… and then she jumps up and says, “wait, we need a jcc! Every happy town needs a jcc”!!!

 

I thought it was so touching and poignant in its simplicity. You are a central part of her identity. Her safe and happy space. Every town needs one.


I felt so touched by her comment and just had to share!!"
