SUMMARY:Open House New York at the Wavertree
DESCRIPTION:Join the South Street Seaport Museum for a special behind-the-scenes tour of 1885 tall ship Wavertree. The 137-year-old Wavertree\, built of riveted wrought iron\, is an archetype of the sailing ships of the latter half of the 19th century that\, during the “age of sail\,” lined South Street by the dozens\, creating a forest of masts from the Battery to the Brooklyn Bridge. Seaport Museum staff and crew will take you to places around the ship not typically accessible to the general public. Guests will get a glimpse at how the historic fleet is maintained\, see “secret” nooks and crannies\, and get immersed in history while walking the entire length of Wavertree’s massive cargo hold. Also at 2pm and 4pm.

SUMMARY:Book of Ruth\, Featuring the Met Opera Chorus Artists: A Story of Courage\, Resilience\, and Hope
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Jewish Heritage is pleased to partner with the Met Opera Chorus Artists to present a memoir through music. In this special concert\, we will learn about Holocaust Survivor Ruth Wachner Pagirsky. Alongside beautiful music\, Ruth’s daughter and Museum Trustee Regina Skyer will share how her mother met hatred with humanity in an incredible story of courage\, resilience\, and hope. Born in Berlin\, Germany\, in 1926\, Ruth was only 13 years old when the war started in 1939. Fleeing first to the Polish forests\, and then a labor camp\, Ruth eventually obtained false identification papers that allowed her to hide in the open as a Polish Catholic. For three years\, Ruth posed as a mute\, hiding her German accented Polish – and her Jewish identity – until she was liberated in 1945. From Partisans Song to Fiddler on the Roof to Madame Butterfly and more\, Met Opera Chorus Artists will bring Ruth’s incredible story – and love for music – to the Museum of Jewish Heritage. It is fitting to tell Ruth’s story here at the Museum\, for she spent the majority of her life as a fierce advocate for Holocaust education and served as a member of our Speakers Bureau. Proceeds from this event will benefit Ruth’s final project: the Museum’s first children’s exhibition\, Courage to Act.

SUMMARY:The Monumental Undertaking: The Capital Plan of Nanjing
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the reunification of China\, the Nationalist government initiated a comprehensive planning proposal\, referred to as “the Capital Plan”\, to reconstruct the war-torn city of Nanjing into a modern capital. With the participation of many first-generation architects returning from Europe\, the US and Japan\, this monumental project brought a brand-new landscape to Nanjing as a modern city. The architectural masterpieces emerging from the project dotted the city in their varied forms and styles\, representing the highest standards of Chinese architecture of the time. As a result\, the city itself had become a grand museum of modern architecture\, contributing to “the beauty of Nanjing that still resonates in China”\, in the words of CNN. Dr. Wang Xiaoqian\, a renowned scholar and architect\, will relate the stories of the capital plan as well as the course and characteristics of urban construction and architectural development of Nanjing from 1912 to 1949.

SUMMARY:Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:The global economy is at a crossroads. Can finance fix it? Proponents of environmental\, social and governance (ESG) investing say yes. They claim that new financial strategies that consider all stakeholders are essential tools for addressing runaway carbon emissions and stark income inequality\, among other ills. ESG-integrated investments already encompass more than $120 trillion in financial assets. Is this approach really leading to better social and environmental outcomes for all? If not\, how can it be improved? In Sustainable\, a finance-industry veteran offers an insider’s look at the promises\, prospects and limitations of ESG investing and provides comprehensive solutions that would promote more optimal outcomes. Terrence Keeley argues that both activist and C-suite advocates have been overly optimistic about what ESG can accomplish. Divestment threats are ineffective tools for altering corporate behavior\, and verifiably “good” companies do not systematically generate great returns. Most importantly\, business and finance cannot achieve inclusive\, sustainable growth on their own: regulators\, public policies\, civil society and individuals must all play specific\, complementary roles to shape the future we need.

SUMMARY:Buried Beneath the City: An Archaeological History of New York
DESCRIPTION:Book presentation. Bits and pieces of the lives led long before the age of skyscrapers are scattered throughout New York City\, found in backyards\, construction sites\, street beds\, and parks. Indigenous tools used thousands of years ago; wine jugs from a seventeenth-century tavern; a teapot from Seneca Village\, the nineteenth-century Black settlement displaced by Central Park; raspberry seeds sown in backyard Brooklyn gardens—these everyday objects are windows into the city’s forgotten history. Buried Beneath the City uses urban archaeology to retell the history of New York\, from the deeper layers of the past to the topsoil of recent events.
