Literary Luncheon: The Little Things
12:30 PM
Author Gioia Diliberto will present her novel, "Coco at the Ritz," at the JCC's February Literary Luncheon on February 14. The book delves into the complex and controversial life of Coco Chanel, particularly focusing on her arrest and interrogation for treason against France in late August 1944, as World War II was ending. The novel explores Chanel's possible collaboration with the Germans, a topic shrouded in mystery, especially regarding why she was released while other women faced harsher consequences. Diliberto, known for her focus on women's lives and combining storytelling with deep research and literary skill, has authored seven books and a play. She also teaches in the writing program at Northwestern University’s School of Professional Studies.

One Woman Show - "That's (Not) How You Walk On Stage"
7:30 PM
The Miami Beach JCC, in partnership with the Great Miami Jewish Federation, is excited to present a program for Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month (JDAIM).
" When I was an infant the doctors told my parents “Unfortunately, there’s nothing more we can do. She’ll walk until she can’t walk anymore. And then – a wheelchair”. My one-woman show "That's (Not) How You Walk On Stage" tells my story as a triplet born with Cerebral Palsy and reveals my journey of coping, challenges, failures, and victories living with this disability. "
Growing up in Israel while battling her physical challenges and societal judgments, Maayan's journey is a powerful exploration of acceptance and pursuing one's dreams. She'll discuss her desire to be accepted for who she is, walk her path, stand on her own feet, and pursue her passion for acting without being told how to do it.
