One moment can change a family forever. Join us for a moving evening with author Moe Lajterman as he discusses 23: A Memoir, a deeply personal story of family, immigration, loss, and the memories that connect one generation to the next. Lajterman traces his family’s journey from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to building a new life in America. At the heart of the memoir is his older brother, Marcelo Lajterman, whose life was cut short in the 1970 Marshall University football team plane crash—a tragedy that forever changed his family. Through stories of love, resilience, grief, and remembrance, 23 explores not only what a family loses in tragedy, but what remains and is carried forward. The evening will be moderated by Josh Leibner and will include a conversation with Moe Lajterman about the experiences and memories behind the book. FEE: $10/JCC Members; $15/Community Member

Inspired by the loss of his longtime home in the 2025 Palisades fires, Crystal looks back on a lifetime of family, friendships, show business, love, loss, and the memories that turn a house into a home. With the warmth, wit, and storytelling that have made him beloved for decades, 860 finds plenty of laughter even in life’s hardest moments. Make a night of it with the JCC!

What happens when you wander into a magical town where everyone bursts into song, true love is the only way out, and the bridge literally leads nowhere? You get Schmigadoon: The Musical! Join us for a Broadway adventure to the Nederlander Theatre and step into the wonderfully ridiculous world of Schmigadoon, where every day feels like a classic musical and even the smallest moment deserves its own song and dance number. When a couple accidentally stumbles into town, they quickly learn there’s only one way to escape: find true love. Sounds simple enough… until they discover that true love might not mean what they thought it did. We’ll take care of the ride into New York and your orchestra seat. You just need to bring your Broadway spirit — and maybe resist the urge to burst into song on the bus ride home. $250, JCC Member Rate; $275 Community Member Rate. Price includes coach bus/orchestra seat and lunch on your own TONY AWARD® WINNER for BEST MUSICAL!
