Collections, Keepsakes & What’s Next: Come to the Pozez JCC and learn why yesterday’s castoffs can become today’s treasures and how thoughtful decisions can turn a house full of stuff into memories, money, and peace of mind. Our homes are filled with things, some valuable, some sentimental, some surprisingly desirable, and some that nobody wants anymore. Join Antiques Roadshow appraiser Matthew Quinn for a lively and practical look at what’s hot, what’s not, what sells, and what may be worth more—or less—than you think.
Matthew will discuss how to determine value, decide what to keep and what to sell, and separate the memory from the object without losing the story. Sometimes keeping one meaningful piece can preserve the memory of an entire collection while allowing the rest to find new homes.
Come learn why yesterday’s castoffs can become today’s treasures and how thoughtful decisions can turn a house full of stuff into memories, money, and peace of mind.

Fifth Annual Distinguished Lecture in Judaic Studies at George Mason University. Dr. David Weinfeld of Rowan University will be giving a lecture, From Alliance to Friendship: Blacks, Jews and Pluralistic Peoplehood. This talk will trace the history of two figures, Jewish immigrant Horace Kallen and Black philosopher Alain Locke, whose conversations helped shape the idea of cultural pluralism—the precursor to modern multiculturalism. Drawing on their story, Dr. Weinfeld offers a new framework for imagining Black-Jewish relations, one focused on friendship rather than alliance.
The lecture will be followed by a conversation between the guest lecturer and Dr. LaNitra Berger, Associate Professor of History and Art History and Director of African and African American Studies at George Mason University and Board President of the Pozez JCC.
