This year’s JMS Science Fair, held last month, was an opportunity for students to pursue an advanced understanding of their chosen area of research. JMS faculty encouraged students to think about what interests them and pursue projects based on those interests. As part of their project, students had to design an experiment, write a research paper, design an experiment, write a research paper, design a visual component presenting their findings, and include an infographic depicting all mathematics used in their experiment. Some of the projects presented included topics like The Science of Brain Freeze, Quantum Entanglement, Life in One Cubic Foot, Quirky Quarks, and A Study of the Most Efficient Home Servers.
After three years of virtual programs, the JCRC Social Justice Seder returns in person on Thursday, March 30 from 6-8pm at the Gordon Jewish Community Center. In celebration of being back together in person, we have invited African American Jewish writer, culinary historian, and author Michael Twitty as our guest for the evening. Koshersoul, the title of his book and the theme of the evening, represents the marriage of two distinctive culinary cultures, African American and Jewish, and we will incorporate some of his recipes in the Seder-style meal to be served during the program. We will also incorporate his “African American Seder Plate for Passover” in the center of each table for the family style meal.
