SUMMARY:Laurence Seeff: Jews in Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Laurence Seeff: Jews in Jazz\n19:30 Sunday 18 January\n\nJazz music took hold at the turn of the 20th century and especially from the 1920s. It emerged from the development of blues and ragtime and\, for more than a half a century\, it reigned supreme. Jews played a major part in the development of jazz as musicians\, composers\, lyricists\, managers\, businessmen and entrepreneurs. Although only a small percentage of the population in general\, Jews had a massively disproportionate influence on jazz.  In this lecture\, no less than 127 people are identified who have contributed to the genre in some way and\, together with narrative and video clips\, the lecture should provide an enlightening history of Jews in jazz.\n\nLaurence Seeff was born in 1951 in London. He studied statistics at Cardiff  University and the first phase of his career was as a statistician at the International Energy Agency (OECD) in Paris. He went on a contract for two years but\, in fact\, stayed for ten! Et oui! He then joined the fledgling Bloomberg Financial Markets\, in London\, as the first European employee when there was a total of just 35 staff (now 23\,000). After two decades\, in a variety of positions\, he became a lecturer in finance at BPP Professional Education in London.\n\nIn addition to his remunerated work\, Laurence served as a magistrate (voluntary lay judge in the criminal courts) for 20 years and has many stories with which to entertain at dinner parties.\n\nLaurence\, and his wife Sara\, made Alyah\, in November 2020\, to join their four children\, and now\, ten grandchildren.  In Israel\, Laurence has involved himself in amateur dramatics and tennis\, is an author\, and has published two books of poetry in 2017 and 2024.  Laurence’s interest in jazz dates back more than 50 years from when he first saw  Terry Lightfoot and his Jazzmen in a pub in Bournemouth. He was smitten.\n\nMembers Prepaid : 30 NIS\nNon-members and Members at the door: 50 NIS\n\nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 or pay at the door.\nWebsite ticket option available until noon on the day of evening events and until noon the prior day for daytime events.\n\n\nNearby Parking: (one block north of Netanya AACI\, approach from the north on Shmuel Hanatziv to turn right into the driveway just before the traffic circle) \nUsing Waze: https://waze.com/ul/hsv8zcjvhf \nUsing Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/teDPagS7GRUi5VzY8

SUMMARY:Yaron Hovav: Gaza - From a Pastoral Port City to a Strip of Terror
DESCRIPTION:Yaron Hovav: Gaza – From a Pastoral Port City to a Strip of Terror\n19:30 Sunday 11 January  \nThis is an in-depth lecture exploring the historical development of Gaza — from its early days as a center of trade and a coastal port city to its transformation into a hub of terror under Hamas control. We’ll examine how Gaza and the surrounding region were shaped by Israel’s wars (the War of Independence and the Six-Day War)\, and by political agreements between nations (the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty and the Oslo Accords). \nYoran will also discuss the Disengagement Plan\, the rise of Hamas\, and finally\, the cultural and geopolitical consequences of October 7th. Combining historical analysis and geopolitical context\, he provides insight into how these developments have influenced public opinion in the region and the West. \nYaron Hovav is a certified Israeli tour guide specializing in geopolitics and in-depth tours of Israel’s borders — including the Gaza border following the events of October 7th\, as well as tours in the West Bank and along the northern border. He is experienced in presenting to both Israeli and international audiences. \nMembers Prepaid: NIS 40\nMembers at door and Non-Members: NIS 60 \nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 (Sunday-Thursday 8:30-12:30) or pay at the door. \nPrepaid tickets available until noon on the day of this event. \nNearby Parking: (one block north of Netanya AACI\, approach from the north on Shmuel Hanatziv to turn right into the driveway just before the traffic circle) \nUsing Waze: https://waze.com/ul/hsv8zcjvhf \nUsing Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/teDPagS7GRUi5VzY8 \n
