SUMMARY:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try
DESCRIPTION:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the 20th-century artist and Holocaust survivor Boris Lurie. Centered around his earliest work\, the so-called War Series\, as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from Lurie’s personal archive\, the exhibition presents a portrait of an artist reckoning with devastating trauma\, haunting memories\, and an elusive\, lifelong quest for freedom. In drawing together artistic practice and historical chronicle\, Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is fertile new territory for the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, offering a survivor’s searing visual testimony within a significant art historical context. The Museum is open Wednesday\, Thursday\, and Sunday from 11 AM – 7 PM ET through October 17. The Museum is closed on Jewish holidays and on Thanksgiving. As of October 18\, the Museum will be open Sunday and Wednesday: 10 AM to 5 PM; Thursday\, 10 AM to 8 PM; and Friday\, 10 AM to 3 PM.

SUMMARY:The Barbizon: The Hotel that Set Women Free
DESCRIPTION:Completed in 1928\, at the height of the Roaring Twenties\, the Barbizon Hotel was designed as a luxurious safe haven for the “Modern Woman” hoping for a career in the arts. Over time\, it became the place to stay for any ambitious young woman hoping for fame and fortune. In her new book The Barbizon: The Hotel that Set Women Free\, professor of international\, gender\, and media studies at Vassar College\, Paulina Bren “unpacks” the luggage of several generations of women\, mostly young and new to the city\, who found a home in the hotel that became a legend. After Paulina’s presentation\, she will be joined in conversation with Andrea Barnet\, writer and author of Visionary Women: How Rachel Carson\, Jane Jacobs\, Jane Goodall\, and Alice Waters Changed Our World\, whose 2019 talk at the Museum can be viewed here.

SUMMARY:Expectations Investing: Reading Stock Prices for Better Returns
DESCRIPTION:Webinar with Michael Mauboussin. Most investment books try to assess the attractiveness of a stock price by estimating the value of the company. Expectations Investing\, by Michael Mauboussin and Alfred Rappaport\, provides a powerful and insightful alternative to identifying gaps between price and value. The authors suggest that an investor start with a known quantity\, the stock price\, and ask what it implies for future financial results. After showing how to read expectations\, they provide a guide to rigorous strategic and financial analysis to help investors assess the likelihood of revisions to these expectations. Investors who read this book will be able to evaluate stocks of companies in any sector or geography more effectively than those who use the standard approaches of most investors.

SUMMARY:Leonard Bernstein And The Israel Philharmonic

Join the Museum and the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for a program exploring Bernstein’s remarkable legacy in Israel.

SUMMARY:The Forgotten Life Of Herschel Grynszpan
DESCRIPTION:Online program. In November 1938\, Herschel Grynszpan\, a Jewish refugee living in Paris\, walked into his city’s German Embassy and assassinated Nazi diplomat Ernst vom Rath.

Steinweis\, Professor of History and Raul Hilberg Distinguished Professor of Holocaust Studies at the Universiity of Vermont.

SUMMARY:American Rebels: How the Hancock\, Adams\, and Quincey Families Fanned the Flames of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Nina Sankovitch will present the intimate connections between leading families of the American Revolution—the Hancock\, Quincy\, and Adams families—and explore the role played by such figures as John Hancock\, John Adams and Abigail Smith (Adams)\, Josiah Quincy Junior and Dorothy Quincy (Hancock) in sparking the flames of dissent and rebellion that would lead to the Declaration of Independence in 1776. By focusing in on Braintree\, Massachusetts and these three prominent families of the village\, Sankovitch will demonstrate how the desire for independence cut across class lines\, binding people together as they pursued commonly held goals of opportunity\, liberty\, and stability. This lecture will take place via Zoom.

SUMMARY:POP: Then until Now: Vicki Angel\, Eric Barsness\, & Carol Clements in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Then Until Now offers a look at a forty-year choreographic span\, with past and present juxtaposed in the bodies of three “mature” dancers. About the artists: Angel\, Barsness\, and Clements resurrect solos from the 1980s and make new dances\, too. A surprise comic trio is the finale. Vicki Angel\, Eric Barsness\, and Carol Clements share a background in the 1980s downtown Manhattan dance scene\, at the juncture of avant-garde\, postmodern dance and the theatrical experimentation of performance art. Their works were produced by leading venues of the day such as Dance Theater Workshop\, The Kitchen\, Danspace\, LaMama\, and PS122\, as well as by grittier hotspots such as 8BC and a host of downtown loft spaces. The three choreographers join forces 40 years later to present Then until Now at Gibney. There they will juxtapose old and new work\, the physicality and creativity of past alongside the present—and feature the performance of both\, in the now.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Jill Pauly
DESCRIPTION:Jill Pauly was born Gisella Berg on May 1\, 1933 in Cologne\, Germany to a close\, religious Jewish family. Due to the restrictions put in place by the Nazis shortly before she was born\, Jill was unable to play outside with other children\, and found herself in a life of displacement. Her childhood home was ransacked\, and her father and cousin were forced into an internment camp after attempting to escape the country. Eventually her family found refuge in Kenya\, where they worked on farms and navigated British East African policies. It wasn’t until 1947 that her family moved to the United States\, where Jill married fellow survivor Kurt Pauly in 1957. Join the Museum for a program exploring Jill’s experience during the Holocaust\, and her years in Kenya.

SUMMARY:St. Eustatius and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Fraunces Tavern Museum and Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society. In 1776\, the US vessel Andrew Doria sailed to the Dutch island of Sint Eustatius carrying a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Upon its arrival\, the island’s governor provided a formal cannon salute to the ship’s patriot flag\, marking the first acknowledgement of the United States’ sovereignty. In this presentation\, Sergio Villavicencio\, Vice President of the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society and Chair of the NYC Semiquincentennial Committee\, will delve into the early relationship between the United States and Sint Eustatius\, which critically supplied the patriots’ cause by smuggling the necessary goods to keep the American Revolution going\, and how the island’s fate years later decisively affected the end of the Revolutionary War. This lecture will take place via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Gibney Deeper Duet: Talvin Wilks + Melanie George
DESCRIPTION:Permission\, appropriation or trespassing – the tricky terrain of 2 Black Dramaturgs in the current “We See You” performance landscape told through personal case studies\, observations\, rants\, riffs and realizations. Melanie George and Talvin Wilks\, friends\, colleagues\, and confidantes\, will talk their way through the current cultural moment from their vantage points as Dramaturgs While Black (DWB). Utilizing\, purposefully\, a Black lens to view the American Theatre and Dance industries\, the conversation seeks to navigate the concept of appropriation vs. elucidation in the choices that many BIPOC dramaturgs have made and continue to have to make in this era of reckoning\, solidarity and wokeness. In it they question and challenge their own responsibility and accountability to Black artists and address some of the systemic traps and tropes in the process. Working from the inter- and intra-personal\, the artists plan to rant\, riff and tee hee through this tricky terrain of being Black in white spaces and living to tell the tale.

SUMMARY:The Holocaust\, Tikkun Olam\, And Three Generations Of Humanitarian Women
DESCRIPTION:Caryl Stern\, the renowned human rights activist\, is the third generation of women in her family whose lives were shaped by the Holocaust. Her grandmother\, Mignon Langnas\, was a nurse in Vienna when the Nazis invaded. Facing an agonizing decision\, she sent her two young children on a ship to the US\, opting to stay with her ailing parents and to take care of her patients in a Jewish children’s hospital\, navigating constant risk of deportation and death. Caryl’s mother\, Manuela Stern\, crossed the ocean at the age of six and once here\, lived in an orphanage on the lower East side of Manhattan. Manuela’s experience contributed to her becoming a passionate civic activist and educator. For these three women\, “tikkun olam” (Hebrew for\, “to heal the world”) is now part of their DNA. Join the Museum and The Olga Lengyel Institute for a fascinating conversation between Caryl and Manuela about the impact of the Holocaust on three generations of women. The program will be moderated by NBC’s senior legal and investigative correspondent Cynthia McFadden.
