AUTHOR JONATHAN RABB
Jonathan Rabb, the next author in the Cathy and Morris Bart Jewish Cultural Arts Series, presents Among the Living, his moving novel about a Czech Holocaust survivor’s unconventional journey to a new normal in 1940s Savannah, Georgia. Set during the last gasp of the Jim Crow era in America’s post-war South, the novel deals with questions of identity and belonging, revealing commonalities in the experiences of black and Jewish lives. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 7:00 PM | UPTOWN JCC FREE AND OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY
KINDERGARTEN READINESS FORUM

Designed to demystify the kindergarten enrollment process, the forum includes representatives from public and private school realm who will talk about all areas of the process. Topics include the New Orleans Public School OneApp process, faith-based school choices, private school admissions testing, and kindergarten readiness.
COATS FOR KIDS BENEFIT CONCERT
