Bethesda, MD -- Bethesda Jewish Congregation (BJC) launches its Great Names Community Lecture Series on March 30 with a presentation by Marvin Kalb and his daughter, Deborah, co-authors of Haunting Legacy: Vietnam and the American Presidency from Ford to Obama. The series, scheduled on Sundays from 3:00 to 5:00 pm throughout 2014 at BJC, is open to the community and promises to be thought-provoking, timely and provocative.
The award-winning senior Kalb, a CBS News correspondent for three decades, and his daughter, a Washington journalist for two decades, collaborated on the book which presents the history of presidential decision making on one crucial issue: In light of the Vietnam debacle, under what circumstances should the United States go to war? Mr. Kalb, the author of 13 books, most recently penned The Road to War: Presidential Commitments Honored and Betrayed (2013). A Q&A session follows their presentation, then attendees will have an opportunity to meet the Kalbs.
BJC continues its Great Names' appearances: June 1 features Steve Luxenberg, author of Annie's Ghost: A Journey Into a Family Secret and Sunday, and September 21 brings a member of Secretary of State John Kerry's Israeli-Palestinian Peace Negotiations Team to the dais. The 2014 series concludes on November 2 with Lead Watergate Prosecutor Earl Silbert, now a prominent Washington attorney.
All lectures are free of charge, but RSVP preferred to secure a seat by emailing [email protected]. Lecture location is 6101 Bradley Blvd, Bethesda, MD 20817.
BJC does not impose a prevailing consensus of views on religious, political, national or ethnic questions upon its members or the community. It brings the Great Names Community Lecture Series as a forum to present compelling issues that have moral, spiritual -- and often national and global -- significance and consequence.
BJC serves Jews from traditional and liberal religious backgrounds, as well as secular Jews, intermarried couples and their families. It functions as a community of individuals who do not necessarily subscribe to a single doctrine of Judaism or Jewish practice. The congregation follows many paths of Jewish observance and recognizes the wide differences
of its members' backgrounds with complete respect for these differences as a right
